Which creatures are you talking about? :?
Xenon wrote:We already know the slug-like creature (only two appear in the game, we think) is called a Squab, and the creature in the first cinematic that gets shaved is called a Mawpaw, but I don't think we know the names of these strange caged beings. Perhaps these are Glutes.
As concerns the squab and the mawpaw, they're both in the list, under the names verdule and flabard.
Xenon wrote:However, what confuses me here, is that I can't seem to find a picture of the Muddibog anywhere in the picture on page 25.
I said hopefully because not everyone in the list is in the picture. (bis)
Xenon wrote:We now have an interesting task: to discover what the woman in HH was talking about when she said Glute.
Same thing as calling someone a donkey?
Xenon wrote:This, however, doesn't prove that the Globox species aren't called Glutes, though. It just suggests.
Globox is the only representative of his species in Rayman 3, and if the fact of putting “the Glutes” in the list clearly implies that they appear in Rayman 3. But they don't, which makes me right. It's a proof by contradiction :|

Matuvu FFS :grrrrrr:
StaceyW wrote:Is this the Rayman 3 art book you were given? If so thanks very much for posting!
It's not my artbook, but I got them together. I may scan my artbook when I get back home.
StaceyW wrote:I'm still not sure on which one of these names matches Globox's species either, since he was the only one in this game, right?
As I replied to Xenon, putting the name of Globox's species in the list wouldn't make sense at all. We're actually wondering which species the word glute refers to ;)
StaceyW wrote:[while we're at it, you don't suppose Raymanin's are the Ray gnomes you break?]
Of course they are, it's a pun (again :P) on Rayman and nain, which means dwarf.

I don't really know how I could have made myself clearer. The TOTL secret in part 4 contains 4 cages, each with strange creatures trapped inside. On page 25, they're right at the front, and much smaller.
I said hopefully because not everyone in the list is in the picture. (bis)
What exactly is page 26? Was it referring directly to page 25?
Same thing as calling someone a donkey?
Is that a translation or something? She's presumably talking about one of the characters, if Glute isn't relavant to anything else in the game.

That's what I went on to say in my previous post, but it's still not concrete evidence as there were more of his species shown in Rayman 2 and Rayman Revolution.

There should be an English name for those... Is there a French Rayman term for the piggy banks too?

I only remember seeing trapped Griskins in the Land... :?

The name (Casting) says it all. It's a list supposed to reference all creatures in Rayman 3.

You didn't get my point; I was just saying that it may be used as an insult. I'm not sure anyway, but we'll see when I reach the Hoodlums Headquarters.

This is the casting of all creatures in Rayman 3 only, so this is concrete evidence actually.

They're mentioned as porfefeuilles (porc + portefeuille).

Ah okay. They forgot a few then.

But an insult to who? And I'd suggest part 2. Globox talks to Rayman about what's happened to him, and there's lots of information. You'll have to listen carefully though - he speaks fast.

That's got to be my new favourite French word.

To Globox, I guess... But yeah, I'll play the level first, so that I can get more information.

The list refers to Muddibogs, but Muddibogs are not in the picture. This is proof that the list and picture are not necessarily accurate.

Yes but it's been said that the book doesn't refer to the characters shown on page 25, but the characters in the game. I asked that question a while back.

Sorry, I just noticed this:

Really? Do you remember the Xowar secret?

While we're on the subject, does anyone know why it's called this? I don't see any Xowars in or around it.

That creature is called a Xowar, it was indicated in the RZ rank list a long time ago. By the way, has anyone noticed the Xowar poster in the arena of Clearleaf Forest?

Yes, I have. I always though the Xowar could be found as a boss there. So, it would be well possible that the Xowar originally lived in Clearleaf Forest. How it got in the ToTL, is a complete mystery. Maybe the Hoodlums captured it, but that would be the only possible explanation.

Wow, this book is interesting (but all french...). You know, the glutes could be the small frogs in the bog of murk. That could alos explain why Globox often compares himself to them.

Xowar? So that's the name of that creature? I must find out more about this.

What is a Xowar? Any picture?
And what book are we talking about?

Sorry I've been reading these posts, but I'm a little lost. :confus:

You can also see it in the Tower of the Leptys, just before the final boss.
