'''The Desert of the Knaaren''' is the fifth of the nine levels of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. It is a harsh, scorching plain of sand, dotted by rocky outcrops and yawning chasms. The huge dinosaur-like skeletons which lie on the sand resemble those seen in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. The desert looks hellish at first sight. However, beneath the barren, lifeless surface is a vast tunnel and cave system that delves deep into the rocky under-layers. This is where the native species of this land, the [[Knaaren]], dwell. The Knaaren carved their tunnels out of the solid rock, and they guard their domain fiercely and effectively, constantly patrolling the many passages.

[[Rayman]] is sent here from [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] by the second [[Teensie Doctor]], [[Roméo Patti]]. Like [[Otto Psi]], Roméo was unable to extract the [[Black Lum]] [[André]] from [[Globox]]'s body, so Roméo sends Rayman and Globox to the Desert of the Knaaren, where the third Teensie Doctor, [[Gonzo]], has his office. Along the way, Rayman and Globox fall into the tunnels, and Globox is captured by the [[Knaaren]].

Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)

Rayman Raving Rabbids was originally developed as a 3D platform game, under the working title Rayman 4. It was announced by Ubisoft on the 3rd of May, 2006, shortly after the cancellation of Phoenix Interactive's unrelated Rayman 4 project. Under development by Ubisoft Montpellier, the game was to be a free-roaming action platforming game, in which the player would control Rayman as he battled against an invading army of Rabbids. The game was announced for Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, PC, and the Nintendo Wii, which was then codenamed the 'Revolution'.

The game's story was intended to be simplistic, clichéd and ludicrous, in a parody of the storytelling devices that are standard in platform games. The goal was not a complex storyline, but a suitable framework for developing the characters and the situations. Ancel said of the game, 'It’s a comedy, like Mars Attacks or some Monty Python movies.
