In the loading screen for the Windows [[Rayman 3 (early production)|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 the image, the Xowar is much larger than the downscaled model found in the Tower of the Leptys.

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. The Xowar minigame's description is similar to that of the scrapped Xowar boss fight in the [[Clearleaf Forest]], making it seem likely that the minigame was a recycled version of the fight. It is not known why the minigame was omitted from the final version of the game; the Xowar was initially removed as a boss because he was too large for the programmers to work with, and the minigame may have been removed for similar technical reasons.
