The Mawpaws are harvested by the [[Black Lum]]s, who use their wool to weave [[Hoodlum]] outfits for themselves. At one point in ''Rayman 3'', the Black Lums are seen attacking a Mawpaw like a swarm of locusts in order to steal its fur. However, the instruction manual has stated that the Black Lums just use animal fur in general.

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 Mawpawss 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).
