Lord Bullbo

Bullbos are recurring enemies in the The Legend of Zelda series. They are a race of boar-like creatures typically used as mounts.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Bulblins commonly use Bullbos as mounts for transportation in Hyrule. However, in Gerudo Desert, a dead Bullbo is being cooked over a fire, which implies Bulblins may use them for food as well. After removing Bulblins from their Bullbos, Link can ride the Bullbos like he would Epona, except Bullbos can ram structures such as wooden gates or towers, effectively decimating them. Bullbos are more difficult to control, and can only be stopped by a very solid object if they are prompted to run. They require two hands on the reins, so Link cannot use objects while riding them.

The Bullbos are unable to be killed through means of blade, yet striking them with a sword can cause them to run away, even causing them to jump off cliffs. What looks like the leader of the Bullbos is Lord Bullbo, the mount of King Bulblin.

Interestingly, unlike most other animals in the game, Link cannot talk to Bullbos while in wolf form.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Bullbos are found roaming near train tracks. Their appearance is similar to their Twilight Princess design. Bulblins again use Bullbos as mounts. If Bullbos are situated on the tracks, Link can pull the lever on his train that will send out a loud noise which will scare the Bullbo off the tracks. Alternatively, Link can shoot two cannonballs out at the Bullbo to defeat the enemies. If Link's train runs into the Bullbo, the train will take damage.
