The Meadow Gate
The Meadow Gate is one of the only know locations cut from the original Drawn to Life. It was originally intended to be the fourth gate, between the Beach and City Gates. According to an insider source who has asked to remain anonymous, Chow Chern Fai and Karina Lye See Mun were responsible for the vast majority of art related to the Meadow Gate.
Thanks to a different anonymous source, we know the intended plot of the Meadow Gate in it's entirety, paraphrased below:
After the defeat of the Angler King and the rescue of Count Choco, the village began to be invaded by Shadow Pests (presumably Shadow Walkers), who were infecting the water supply. After a few levels of unrelated tasks, the Hero is tasked with sounding an alarm and rounding up the Shadow Pests. After this attack, many villagers are given the poisoned water on accident. The Mayor then sends the Hero into the Meadow Gate again to defeat the cause of the infestation, Rata, Tat & Tat, a trio of rats acting as the boss of the gate.
After being defeated, they would have transformed into the Three Blind Raposa, who would have given the Hero a key to a Village Hatch, possibly the Secret Gate.
As for rescued Raposa and Templates in the preceding levels:
Rescued: Fortune Cookie (rival to Chef Cookie) Template: Fish
Rescued: Indee Template: Mechanical Scarecrow
Rescued: Bob Row (Mike) Template: Messenger Bird
Rescued: Unagi Template: Kaorin Berry
The Hero attachment for this gate would have been the Pet, a dog-like creature who could run faster than the Hero and could have been ridden around.
10 enemies were also planned for the gate and sprited, but were removed.
From top to bottom, left to right, these enemies are:
Flea Fly
Stun Sun
RockFist
Boomaphant
Fyre Fox
Helipod
Leafy Green
