** There was also an unused boss called the Lava Serpent, which presumably would have been the boss of Volcanic Isles had it been split into multiple realms as planned.
** There was a planned area in Frostbite Village with baby mammoths as enemies. It was cut from the game--partially because it was causing slowdown issues, [[CutenessProximity but mostly because the mammoths were too cute to kill]].
