[[File:Mawpaw Xowar.JPG|thumb|left|320px|A blue Mawpaw as seen in the [[Xowar]] secret]]
An in-game model for the Mawpaw was created, but when the creature was cut from ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', the developers decided to hide a blue, horned Mawpaw in a secret room so that their work would not entirely go to waste. The room also contains other unused models, such as the [[Xowar]] and a jumping blue bird.

The Mawpaw was initially intended to play a much larger role in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. The Mawpaw, known then as the '''Flabar''', served to introduce "puzzle" elements. Depending on its various physical attributes (horns, wings, trunk, very thick fur, etc.), the Mawpaw had the very precise function of unblocking the player in the level. For example, [[Rayman]] could make the horned Mawpaws charge to ram down certain doors, or fly on the backs of the winged ones to reach otherwise inaccessible places. But since the game design for this creature was unsatisfactory, in the end it was used only to supply the [[Hoodlum]]s with raw material to make their clothing (as the introduction to the game shows).
