Louies, or Rooi (ルーイ), are cute 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.
