Bullbo


 * See Also: Lord Bullbo



Bullbos are the boar-like creatures ridden by Bulblins in Twilight Princess. The Bullbos are unable to be killed except for running them off a cliff and repeatedly attacking them with your sword. An easy way to stop them while riding your horse is to shoot them with a bomb arrow which will make quick work of them. They are also impossible to stop once provoked. You must either wait for them to calm down on their own, or ram them into a stone wall.

Bullbo are usually ridden by Bulblins. Bulblin Archers will also use their fire arrows while riding a Bullbo. After knocking them down, Bullbo can be ridden in a similar way to Epona. Few differences are that when you dash, Bullbo are harder to control, they can ram structures, and you can't quick-dismount them the same way you can Epona. You also cannot use items while riding them. Very unintelligent, they are one of the few animals that do not speak to Wolf Link when prompted. Bullbo will run wildly when the Dash Move is used, or they are struck with a weapon. For them to stop, they must ram themselves into a wall, or struck with a weapon while running.

Bullbos are also used for food as seen in the Gerudo Desert. A dead, hairless Bullbo is seen over a fire tied to a spit. If you slash the Bullbo, hearts with appear and if you slash it open you get a Piece of Heart.
