Bullbo


 * Also see: 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. 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 Bulbins. Bulbin 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. 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.

In the Gerudo Desert, the Bulbins have set up a Bulbin Camp, which you have to pass through before gaining entry to the Arbiter's Grounds. In the Bulbin Camp, a dead Bullbo is being cooked over a fire. If you destroy it with your sword, a Piece of Heart will be revealed.





A character in Twilight Princess, King Bulbin, rides a special Bullbo known as Lord Bullbo. It is giant sized, compared to normal Bullbo, and is covered in Armor. He also had blue hair, instead of the usual brown. Link fights Lord Bullbo twice in the game, both times on a large bridge. First in Eldin Field and Bridge of Eldin, and then the Great Bridge of Hylia. It isn't often that King Bulbin and Lord Bullbo aren't seen together. Lord Bullbo is also seen during the credits of Twilight Princess, riding through Eldin Field followed by a group of other Bullbo and Bulbin. It is unknown what happens to them after that.

Bulbins are usually found in the Eldin area of the field. During a certain part of the game, they are found in Southern Hyrule Field. They are also found in certain areas of Hyrule Castle Courtyard, and in Gerudo Desert. They mainly assist the Bulbins in guarding the Bulbin Camp from intruders, so there are always a few out in the desert. When you ride a Bullbo, they can't go in as wide a range of places as Epona can, usually never out of where you get them in. There is a glitch that can be performed using the Spinner that lets you take them where they can't normally go, but only so far away from where they're supposed to be.
