During the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|early development of ''Rayman 3'']], the plot was that [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]], flying over [[the Bog of Murk]] on the [[Wooglah]], take a crash landing after the giant bird gets wounded. Searching for help to heal the wound, [[Rayman]] finds [[Bégoniax]], who offers him to help if he finds the beauty potion she is looking for on the other side of the marsh. [[Rayman]] goes through the mirror and finds '''Ssssam''', then crosses the marsh and enters Razoff's mansion. Upon being defeated, the hunter starts crying, and one of his teardrops falls on a nearby [[Ugly]], which then turns into a butterfly-like creature. It is then revealed that his tears are in fact the elixir of beauty, which [[Bégoniax]] uses on herself, allowing Razoff to fall in love with her. To thank him, the witch and the hunter promise to take care of the [[Wooglah]], and show him the way to [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]].

Textures of Ssssam can still be found in the game files. He still makes a cameo appearance as one of [[Count Razoff]]'s statues. Michael Janod, one of the game's developers, revealed in a [[RaymanZone]] interview that [[Count Razoff|Razoff]]'s mansion contains "statues of his finest catches",<ref>[[RaymanZone]] (via archive.org), ''Interviews with Developers'', https://web.archive.org/web/20071012165435/http://raymanzone.uk.ubi.com/interviews_qa_gps_2.php, « The level takes place in Razoff's house, where everything you see is to his greater glory: there are statues and portraits of him everywhere, statues of his finest catches, and so on. »</ref> hinting that the hunter may have captured Ssssam at some point. The watersnake's fate is however unknown.
