| The [[Xowar]], also known as the '''Xovar''', is a species of gigantic gorilla-like creature from ''[[Rayman 3]]''. In all its appearances it has a distinctive tusk protruding from the right side of its lower jaw. | | The [[Plunger Guard]] is a technique used by [[Rayman]] in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. It allows him to spawn two [[plum]]-shaped weapons which open in the middle, revealing a [[plunger]] gun inside. |

| The Xowar was planned to be the boss of [[Clearleaf Forest]], and [[Rayman]] would have escaped the battle during a race/chase (viewed from the front), while doing his best to avoid certain obstacles (similar to the idea of the fight with [[Foutch]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''), but its size made it too difficult for the programmers to work with, so it was replaced by [[Master Kaag]]. Another reason for dropping the Xowar was because there was nothing in the game story to justify a pursuit.
| | [[Rayman]] can either leave the Plunger Guards where they are, or grab them and throw them in a different spot. Other heroes can move them too. |

| In the loading screen of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and for the PC [[Rayman 3 (early production)|demo version]], a Xowar is partially shown, lining up with various [[Hoodlum]]s for a police mugshot.
| | When an enemy moves within its range, the Plunger Guard fires two or three [[plunger]]s at them, depending on its upgrade level. Plunger Guards disappear from the battlefield after firing, or if newer Guards are summoned, as there can only be a maximum of five active ones. |

| According to an examination of the files on the ''[[Rayman 3]]'' disc, a Xowar minigame was once planned for inclusion in the game. The premise of the minigame was that the Xowar is the kindest of creatures, and that it takes pity on [[Rayman]] due to the fact that he has no limbs. Convinced of [[Rayman]]'s suffering, the Xowar chases him in an attempt to kill him and put him out of his supposed misery. The player would presumably have controlled [[Rayman]] as he fled from the Xowar. The Xowar minigame's description is similar to that of the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|scrapped]] Xowar boss fight in the [[Clearleaf Forest]], making it seem likely that the minigame was a recycled version of the fight. It is not known why the minigame was omitted from [[Rayman 3|the final version of the game]]; the Xowar was initially removed as a boss because he was too large for the programmers to work with, and the minigame may have been removed for similar technical reasons.
