The '''Xowar''', also known as the '''Xovar''', is a species of gigantic gorilla-like creature from ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. In all its appearances it has a distinctive tusk protruding from the right side of its lower jaw. It was planned to be the boss of the [[Clearleaf Forest]] level, and [[Rayman]] would have escaped the battle during a race/chase (viewed from the front), while doing his best to avoid certain obstacles (similar idea of the fight with [[Foutch]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''), but its size made it too difficult for the programmers to work with, so it was replaced by [[Master Kaag]]. | The '''Xowar''', also known as the '''Xovar''', is a species of gigantic gorilla-like creature from ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''.

*In the arena of the [[Master Kaag]] battle in the [[Clearleaf Forest]], there is a 'Wanted' poster depicting the Xowar. It has been speculated that the [[Hoodlum]]s want him for his fur for their costumes or as an allie against [[Rayman]]. | *In the arena of the [[Master Kaag]] battle in the [[Clearleaf Forest]], there is a 'Wanted' poster depicting the Xowar.

In the | In the loading screen for the Windows [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (demo)|demo version]] of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', a Xowar is partially shown, lining up with various [[Hoodlum]]s for a police mugshot. | ||
According to an examination of the files on the ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|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. | |||
