Hootstacks are minor enemies in King of Cards. They resemble a owls hiding in a tree trunk and assembled in a stack. They appear in the Axolongl Alcove stage of the Troupple Pond.

Behavior and Tactics[]

Hootstacks can be found piled from two to four owls to form a single trunk, slowly moving forward and backward. One Hootstack always has its face revealed, but they alternate position over time. Each owl has 3 hit points and deal 1 damage point by contact.

Hitting a revealed Hootstack disassembles it from the group and prompts it to attack alone by small rapid jumps forward, thanks to its hidden wings. Hitting any other Hootstack does nothing.
