An entirely aquatic world was dreamed up for Rayman 3. This universe was inhabited by little animals called "Zaqs" who resembled jellyfish. The universe was exploited by the Hoodlums who, in a lagoon, had set up a giant washing-machine (what else would you expect for beings made up wholly of cloth?). Rayman had to save the little "Zaqs", because they were filled with washing-powder by the Hoodlums, then used to wash their laundry!
—VIP-zone description, RaymanZone

An aquatic world was originally planned to appear in Rayman 3. The only known information about it is the description of the Zaq, which was found in the VIP-zone of the now defunct RaymanZone. It has been speculated that the underwater section of the Land of the Livid Dead and the Looming Sea before the Summit Beyond the Clouds are all that remains of the aquatic world, and that Rayman's encounter with Céloche may have originally been planned to take place there.
