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 can still be seen at two places in the final version of the game:


*In a secret room found just before the final [[Reflux]] fight in [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. In this secret room, generally known to players as the 'Xowar Secret', there are three room-sized (and unbreakable) cages, each containing a different scrapped character. One cage holds a tiny jumping blue bird, one holds an in-game model of a [[Flabar]] similar to the one in the intro video (except the one in the cage is blue), in the third cage is a Xowar running on a treadmill.

* On one of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'''s loading screens, a Xowar is shown, lining up with various [[Hoodlum]]s for a police mugshot. A similar loading screen is presented in the demo version of ''Rayman 3''.
In the PC version of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'''s BETA Demo loading screen, a Xowar is partially shown, lining up with various [[Hoodlum]]s for a police mugshot.
