The Kagoubinôme is a characters who was scrapped from the final version of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.

The Kagoubinôme, As his name suggests (binomial meaning two options), is in fact composed of two completeley different, but complementary, Hoodlums. One Hoodlum appeared very small and thin, the other Hoodlum appeared tall and very fat. The Kagoubinôme couple could carry out two distinct attacks, playing on the size and shape of the Hoodlum who make up his two-person character. To begin with, at long distance, the smalle of the two perches on the fatter one and the latter starts rolling around like a ball. The small on - looking like a circus tightrop walker - steers him along, trying to crush Rayman. Later on, in close combat, it's big Hoodlum who attacks Rayman, using the little Hoodlum as a nunchaku.

Despite the character's original and attractive game design, the Kagoubinôme was discarded by the developers because his first attack required a lot of space in the level and the second proved very difficult to programme.

• Note on the name: Many Hoodlum types have a name with the word "Hood" in it (for example: Hoodstomper, Hoodoo, Hoodboom, etc.), but in the development of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc all the different types Hoodlum had a name with the word "Kag"in it (for example: Kagustick, Kagalfa, Master Kaag). Therefore the Kagoubinôme's name would have been changed to something with "Hood" in it in the final version of the game.
