Flabar

The Flabar was a large furry creature which was initially intended to play an important role in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, serving to introduce "puzzle" elements. Depending on its various physical attributes (horns, wings, trunk, very thick fur, etc.), the Flabar had the very precise function of unblocking the player in the level. For example, Rayman could make the horned Flabars 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 Hoodlums with raw material to make their clothing (as the introduction to the game shows).

The Flabar is still seen in the final version of Rayman 3:

• In the introduction video, Sylkin are shown tending a Flabar before its fur is ripped of by Black Lums to make a Hoodlum suite for André.
• In the 'Wanna Kick Rayman?' videos, a pale Flabar sometimes appears.
• In the secret chamber in the Tower of the Leptys just before the final Reflux fight a blue Flabar with horns is seen in a cage, the room also holds a cage with the Xowar and a cage with a tiny jumping blue bird.
