Louies

Louies, or Rooi (ルーイ), are rideable creatures in the Bomberman series.
==Description==
They are kangaroo-esque animals that Bombermen can ride around on. They are generally found inside Eggs, and each different colored Louie has their own unique ability, similar to the power ups in the game. Another benefit of riding a Louie is that if a blast or hazard hits you, the Louie will take the damage and be destroyed, making them act as a Heart item as well.
Louies were first introduced in Bomberman '94. They have appeared in many games ever since, but sometimes are replaced by other ridable creatures like Tirras.

==Notable Appearances==
===Bomberman Jetters===
Rui, a small green Louie, is White Bomber's close friend in the anime. They often appear together playing an actual Bomberman video game and working together in the restaurant. He is a major character in one of the episodes, but mostly appears as a minor character.
Pui, a small blue Louie with swirls on his cheeks, also makes an appearance. He is close friends with Daibon, is mistaken for Rui by most of the Jetters when he first appears.
==Trivia==
*In Saturn Bomberman, all colored Louies appear as unobtainable plushes (part of the background) in the Bomber Catcher minigame.
