The Merrymen are a group of outlaws that follow Monsieur Hood.
Appearances[]
Shrek[]
While Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona are walking in Sherwood Forest, Monsieur Hood snatches up Fiona in an attempt to "rescue" her from Shrek. Hood calls in the Merrymen to sing a song explaining that they rob the rich to give to the poor and rescue damsels, which escalates when Monsieur Hood attempts to stab Shrek. The Merrymen get into a fight with Fiona after she knocks out Monsieur Hood, but are easily defeated by her martial arts skills.
They later appear at Shrek and Fiona's wedding and in Shrek Karaoke Dance Party where they sing YMCA by Village People.
Shrek 2 (video game)[]
Monsieur Hood and his Merrymen appear in the first level as a mini-boss. They are required to be beaten in order to progress through Shrek's swamp.
Trivia[]
- While the Merrymen (with the exception of Monsieur Hood) are unnamed, it's easy to assume that the accordion player is Friar Tuck and the big guy is Little John.
- The other Merrymen could in fact be Much the Miller's Son, Will Scarlet, Arthur a Bland, and Will Stutely, all of which are characters who were a part of the group in early legends.
