In the game files there are remnants of a walking shell being usable in combat. This however did not make it into the game and thus remains unused. Considering the walking shell’s explosive properties, it is possible that this could have functioned similarly to the [[Shock Rocket\|Rocket]] [[Laser-Washing Powder\|combat fatigue]].

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)\|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], walking shells are found in the [[Prickly Passage]]. They are referred to as "walking missiles" by [[Murfy]], who explains to [[Rayman]] how to ride them. The hero then rides the shells across thorny passages and 360-degree loops, jumping over many pits along the way.

			Back when the game was still [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance, early production)\|a Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 2'']], the [[Magma Mayhem]] and [[Magma Mayhem 2]] levels would have had [[Rayman]] ride a walking shell rather than a bumper kart. The shell was replaced as the game became an adaptation of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' instead.

	A '''walking shell''' is the most common variety of [[shell]], and is found in various levels in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)\|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. They are small, yellow, explosive, rocket-like, two-legged robots used by the [[Robo-Pirate]] army to guard passages. They share some behavioural traits with both dogs and horses. They chase [[Rayman]] if he passes into their line of sight, but, unlike [[red shell]]s, he can tame them by running from them until they grow tired. [[Rayman]] can jump onto the backs of tired walking shells and ride them to overcome otherwise impassable obstacles. In some locations, [[Rayman]] encounters shells that are already tired or sleeping; these do not need to be tamed, and can be ridden immediately.

	[[Rayman]] can make the shell jump (by pressing the Jump button) or accelerate (by pressing the Attack button). Walking shells have the ability to run over some damaging surfaces, such as [[nettle]]s and lava, but not over deep lava or water. They also appear to have some ability to stick to surfaces, and can run up steep slopes, and even fully upside down, as long as the surface is smooth and the change of angle is gradual. However, hitting a wall head-on causes them to explode. When a shell explodes, it can take out certain enemies and doors blocked by metal [[sparadrap]]s, similarly to [[keg]]s.

			The most notable appearances of walking shells are in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

	*Walking shells are first encountered at [[the Menhir Hills]], where [[Murfy]] explains to [[Rayman]] that they may be tamed. There are three shells in this level, each residing in a small doghouse. Once tamed, the shells take [[Rayman]] over patches of [[nettle]]s and through a forest of [[menhir]]s that is located behind a very steep slope. In the PlayStation version a second walking shell appears here which can't be tamed. It will chase the player while riding a shell until a door locks it out.		*Walking shells are first encountered at [[the Menhir Hills]], where [[Murfy]] explains to [[Rayman]] that they may be tamed.

	*In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', a walking shell (referred to by the [[Teensie]]s as 'missile') appears in [[Globox's House]], at the entrance to [[the Menhir Hills]], after [[Rayman]] completes that level. [[Rayman]] can ride the shell up the mountain and destroy the avalanche that blocks the entrance to [[the Canopy]].		*In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', a walking shell (referred to by the [[Teensie]]s as 'missile') appears in [[Globox's House]], at the entrance to [[the Menhir Hills]], after [[Rayman]] completes that level.
