Crouching Huns
Crouching Huns[1] is a world which was intended for inclusion in Rayman Legends, but scrapped from the final game. Its environment assets were eventually repurposed for the Kung Foot minigame.[2]
Description
This world is only known from leftover assets and pieces of concept art, which indicate that it took place in the steppe and was inhabited by the Huns, directly inspired by the real-world nomadic people of the same name, notable for their devastating raids into the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.
The Huns are depicted faithfully to their historical perception, albeit with fantastic elements putting an emphasis on their nomadic nature, such as gigantic castles on wheels and yurt-skyscrapers. A portion of the environment is also inspired by ancient Chinese architecture.
