Hooded Jaw

The **Hooded Jaw** is the unofficial leader of the Minor Villains. He is a unique human-like being cloaked in green and possessing a large metal mouth. He is infamous for his warped Smartie candy, a drug given to him by the Emperor and later turned into candy. If something goes his way, he will sometimes say "Tsaaalb!" as an opposite to The Hooded Claw's "Blaaast!". The Hooded Jaw is one of Stardown's oldest enemies, and always seems to pester him. It is said that the Hooded Jaw's Smarties can stun a Yukon moose for three weeks. He was introduced in the Black Toadette Era.

## Black Toadette Era

The Hooded Jaw took advantage of Stardown's elder berry allergy.

## Gerbilion Era

At some point, the Hooded Jaw met Firius and Rainmaker, and together formed the Minor Villains.

## Rebel Fleet Era

The Minor Villains capture Stardown during the Presidential Hall battle and plot to either put him up for ransom or sell him into slavery. Their location isn't specified, but it's close to the Presidential Hall. It isn't long until Francis locates them. The villains escape on their bike and Francis pursues them in his starfighter.

The Minor Villains reach their woodshed where they dress Stardown like a princess. He escapes them shortly after.

Later, the Minor Villains secretly knocked Stardown unconscious aboard the Medallion, and managed to kidnap him, Arnold, and Tails. Upon Stardown asking what they want the Hooded Jaw responds with "your wallet!" The villains chit-chat amongst themselves for a short while until Arctica enters and tells them all to get on the floor. However, Count Ponoko appears and sends them into a bottomless portal. There's a password to escape the portal which Arctica knew, freeing everyone and returning them to their original location. The Hooded Jaw tells the villains to tie the others up, except for Arctica, who he kicks out of the room upon Rainmaker's suggestion. He pops a Smartie into Tails' mouth before they hear knocking on the door. He opens it and finds Arctica again. She tells them to clear out and they obey for no reason, she frees the prisoners afterward. The Hooded Jaw, realizing they fell for this, orders the villains to attack. Stardown and friends try to escape, but after Arctica, the first in line, leaves, Drake closes the door, trapping the rest with the Minor Villains. They tie them up once again, and Tails passes out from the Smartie's effects. Mark slices the door with his lightsaber and enters the room. The Hooded Jaw eats his lightsaber and ties him up as well. He then rips the old door off its hinges and puts a new door in its place. Using the Force, Stardown sends the old door flying into the Hooded Jaw which causes him to spit out Mark's lightsaber. The lightsaber ignites and severs Mark's bonds. Mark picks up the lightsaber but the Hooded Jaw eats it again, opens the door, and kicks Mark out, saying "Farewell! Have fun!" Stardown uses the Force to pop a Smartie into the Hooded Jaw's mouth, but the Hooded Jaw showed him a funny video to distract him, and when Stardown opened his mouth the Hooded Jaw spat the Smartie back into his mouth. He said that because he has a metal mouth he can't taste anything. Stardown also passes out to the Smartie. After this thirty Guardian guards enter the room and drive the Minor Villains out.

Later, the Hooded Jaw threw a tantrum since he didn't have Stardown. The Italian Mouse announced that Stardown landed about a minute ago which lifted the Hooded Jaw's spirits.

The Minor Villains, as well as several other villain groups, are after Stardown. They break the Medallion infirmary door down and rush in. Stardown was teleported to the woodshed but he's able to escape with the help of Sonic. Rainmaker accidently electrocutes the Hooded Jaw. The Hooded Jaw complains that he's going to rust when Rainmaker sends down rain and that he short-circuited Robob. He welcomes Robob to the Minor Villains and pops a Smartie into his mouth. Ironically, Robob loves the Smarties and asks for more, which the Hooded Jaw happily obliges. Brian Phillips and several guards enter the room. The Hooded Jaw throws a giant Smartie at Brian but Amy Rose bats it away with her hammer. The Smartie crashes through the window and falls between John and Von Calibra. Von Calibra teleports the Smartie and the Minor Villains away.

The Minor Villains appear with the rest of them in the woodshed. The Hooded Jaw is mad upon hearing that Stardown escaped, but the fact that they captured Arnold lightens his mood a bit. He tries to convince Arnold to eat a Smartie, and when he doesn't comply he stuffs one into his mouth and moves his jaw to make him chew since he doesn't want to wait for it to dissolve. He makes several obvious lies to try to get a reaction out of Arnold, and when it doesn't work he pours Egg Smog into Arnold's mouth. He ends up swallowing the smog, along with the Smartie. Arnold is then completely under the Hooded Jaw's control. The Hooded Jaw then tells him to bring Stardown, and anyone else he sees is valuable, to the villains.

The Hooded Jaw is later waiting in a room with Josh, Krulo, and Count Ponoko for the Emperor. The Emperor said he would reward the Hooded Jaw greatly for making Stardown eat a Smartie.

## Guardian Era

Now that he was in servitude to the Emperor, the Hooded Jaw collected Stardown, who was sent through a trap door thanks to Black Toadette, and brought before the Emperor. The Hooded Jaw was shocked when Stardown mocked the Emperor before his arrival.

Later, when the Guardians were entering the underground base searching for Stardown, Ponoko tried to stop them, but Kervo trapped him in a Force Bubble. The Hooded Jaw promptly ate the force bubble, freeing Ponoko.

While Ponoko was guarding the Guardians, who were all being held prisoner, the Hooded Jaw told him that he may want to see Stardown, who was almost done fighting a batch of Robans that were sent to fight him by the Emperor. When the Hooded Jaw arrived, he found Stardown fighting a Smartie-powered Arnold. He told Stardown it was virtually impossible to change him back. He taunted Stardown, asking him if he wanted to take a break. When Stardown said as long as there were no Smarties involved, the Hooded Jaw told him he already ate his. The Emperor decided to recall Arnold and leave Stardown at the Hooded Jaw's mercy. While they were distracted, Stardown Force-shoved the Hooded Jaw into the Emperor. However, Stardown's attention was returned to Arnold when the Hooded Jaw taunted him again. Since Stardown was preoccupied, the Hooded Jaw, Count Ponoko, and the Emperor had a whispered converation about something before Ponoko vanished.

Right as Brian was tossed into the prison, the Hooded Jaw arrived to bring snacks. Brian tried to Jedi mind trick him, but the Hooded Jaw saw through it before being Force-shoved away by Brian. Kervo pressed an SOS button, but the loud beeping that came from it brought thirty Roban Warriors into the room.

The Hooded Jaw, along with Black Toadette and the rest of the Minor Villains, entered the Emperor's chamber to see that the Emperor had finally transformed Stardown, as well as Arnold and Tails, into Smartie-powered warriors. However, they promptly crossed paths with the escaped Guardians. the Minor Villains were about to attack when Ace intervened and activated a remote that blew away all the nearby Robans, then activated another device that teleported himself and all the Guardians away.

Later, the Hooded Jaw competed in Lord Mikami's tournament, and won. His grudge against Stardown became bigger as Stardown's brothers, who were the prizes, were taken away from him.

## Episodic Era

The Hooded Jaw, the rest of the Minor Villains, and the Bounty Hunter Society teamed up to capture Stardown and turn him into Smartie-Man.

At the end of the era, it is revealed that the Hooded Jaw, along with Count Ponoko and Clavicus Maximus, had saved Stardown by opening a portal to prevent him from falling into a black hole created by the destruction of a Dalek ship.

## Development

The Hooded Jaw is based on the Hooded Claw from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop."
