The [[Xowar]], also known as the '''Xovar''', is a species of gigantic gorilla-like creature from ''[[Rayman 3]]''. In all its appearances it has a distinctive tusk protruding from the right side of its lower jaw.
[[Space Mama]], also known as '''Pirate Mama''' or simply '''Mama''', is the large, blonde-haired woman who serves as the fourth boss in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. She is the boss of [[Picture City]] the fourth of the game's six worlds, and she is fought in the levels [[Eraser Plains]] and [[Space Mama's Crater]]. She was at one point in her life captured by an ancestor of [[Count Razoff]] (most likely his father Zaroff), in order to perpetuate [[Shoedsackovskaïa family|his family]]'s great hunting tradition.


The Xowar was planned to be the boss of [[Clearleaf Forest]], and [[Rayman]] would have escaped the battle during a race/chase (viewed from the front), while doing his best to avoid certain obstacles (similar to the idea of the fight with [[Foutch]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''), but its size made it too difficult for the programmers to work with, so it was replaced by [[Master Kaag]]. Another reason for dropping the Xowar was because there was nothing in the game story to justify a pursuit.
Space Mama forms part of the second (her Viking head and rolling pin) and the final (her space form's torso) boss hybrids fought at the end of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

According to an examination of the files on the ''[[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 [[Rayman 3 (early production)|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 [[Rayman 3|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.
