There's one more thing that you won't find without some digging. Bulettes can actually be tamed, and what's even more impressive, they can be trained to speak in the same way that a parrot can. However, for reasons no one has ever figured out all they can remember are curse words. So, have fun making your bulettes swear like sailors during your player's next encounter.

I'm just imagening an extreamlly sweet southerner couple travling merchants, with a bullette that they raised from birth dragging their caravan. The caravan is built using the power of hillbilly enginearing and looks like it'll fall apart at any second, but it's so well built it can withstand cannon balls raining from the sky. Also, the bullette has a tiny cowboy hat and is very sassy, especally towards its parents.

In bg3 there's is an encounter with a Bulle. Thehe encounter is set up, so you are at an advantage. There is a land bridge in the underdark that is to shallow for it to dig their so it must emerge and launch itself out of the ground at you once it can no longer dig. If you're in the wrong spot, you're crushed by it and probably die, if you stand far back enough it'll miss you and do zero damage. In the encounter it's 4 against one unless you have extra companions and summons present, and it's on a small bridge, preventing it from digging and jumping. The bridge is over a massive chasm, and if you corner it up to the cliff edge and your party has high dexterity, it can barely move and barely damage you. This allows you to surround it and spam attacks against our like a fish in a barrel

About creatures like dragons not fight a bulette cause getting injured isn't worth it, that fairly true to real life. For most animals a broken leg, lost limb or deep cut is a sentence to slow death.

@@thalmorjusticiar1 The bulette is already 10+ft tall. It can jump 15ft up, putting its mouth at least 25ft off the ground. And if the DM is any good, the bulette would catch the PCs by surprise, erupting from the ground directly beneath them, mouth open, ready to swallow them whole. In fact, the way I run these is when the bulette erupts from the ground under the player they have to make a DC18 dex save to avoid being swallowed whole. If they pass the saving throw by 10 or more (28+) they completely avoid any damage, but if they pass by less than 10 (18-27) they take 4d12+4 bite damage and are grappled. If they fail, they are swallowed whole and take 3d12+4 crushing damage per round until they die or escape, which is a DC25 str save each round which can be assisted by others reaching into the mouth, if they are brave enough. So yeah, that levitate spell is only going to work if they see the bulette coming, which they never should unless the DM sucks.

Pathfinder had a particularly scary Bulette variant known as the Juggerloathe. It was the offspring of a particularly large Bulette and a herald of Lamashtu, the Pathfinder goddess of Monsters. It's a massive, 50-foot long Bulette with hollow black pits for eyes, a cobra for a tail, and the ability to swallow its enemy whole, drain the life from them, and regurgitate them as undead monsters known as Bodaks.

I think the thing about some things not eating dwarves is because dwarves spice their food with reckless abandon for the heath of all other races, my friends dwarf looks as human spices and always insists on adding more that makes it inedible to humans, halflings, goblins, and the party tiefling. It’s one of the things we rule due to their poison resistance. Elves might be the equivalent of eating bread, so plain and boring that you would rather not eat it due to their overly healthy diets that use next to no seasonings. So they’re the opposite ends of the spectrum of being over spiced and under seasoned. Halflings are probably liked so much because you get a lot out of a little package like a donut or a cupcake.

It was believed that a rival kingdom sent one of these in the direction of the kingdom we were mercenaries for to soften up the place for conquest shortly after. It freaking killed us all! (5th to 6th) level characters The worst part about it was the thing caused 2 players to be trapped under rubble to be easily eaten and you can't outrun it. Our Mage didn't have the right spells to deal with it either as he had no idea what it was and what a Bulette is capable of.

It's good to know that I'll be changing the nonsensical method of reproduction that forgotten realms gave the mysterious bulette. Killing everything for weeks and waiting for a mate is probably the most obvious thing a giant land predator could do. Attacking and killing each other would also leave signs and not be too hard to figure out. The idea that a bulette wouldn't be doing all of this underground where they are most formidable is all preposterous. I'll give my idea if you want... not that I'm some expert. A bulette could be laying eggs fairly deeply, and tracking down a nest would take a monumental effort. Bulettes are territorial and laying eggs in a well controlled location well suited for their larvae. Somewhere that would keep their young away and protected. Softer soils could also be an important decision for nest. A nest could be anywhere, but I think a place with abundant nutrition in the soil, like worm and roots, would be an ideal location. Possibly ever high moisture. Nothing is stopping us from deciding that the bulette is amphibious or has some sort of nymph stage. Or even that some other creature is actually bulette young. Last thought just for some clarity. I like that the story about bulette reproduction exists. It's a story. It's untrue and ridiculous, but "no one" has ever seen it. People make shit up and tell scary stories. Untrue things have a place in the narrative.

I theorize the reason creatures that prefer the taste of halfling to the taste of dwarf comes down to the marbling and potential toxins of the meat. Dwarves have extremely dense musculature, probably taste rather gamey- and their poison resistance could perhaps have a side effect of a “tainted meat” taste. However halflings are often depicted as chubby or thicc with higher fat to muscle ratios - leading to better taste.

In the old Xbox game Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes the first boss is a bulette. You have to lure it into charging at crystals around the area to break it open and make it vulnerable to your attacks. I'm not too sure how to think about such a universally feared creature getting to be the first major boss. It is a challenging early battle too.

I imagine any old bullettes would be aged bulls who have sired many nests. Any males from those nests would come back to the area where their original nests were to mate. This would create constant evolutionary pressure on the older males in the eventuality of there being 2-3 males surviving the matriarchal cull and ganging up on dad.

In my game the centaur bard and half-elf dao warlock had the bright idea of planting magic beans in secret. One bean grew into magic eggs that increase ability scores and other summoned a bulette, which proceeded to one-shot the bard and eat her on the next turn. Bulette was killed, but the half eaten corpse of the bard couldn't be revived. The warlock chose to ask powerful Demon Lord to break his previous contract and to take new warlock contract under the Demon Lord in exchange for the bard's resurrection :D

Another great video, I'm loving the new animations for the monsters! Bulettes are also just awesome monsters too. I already really liked them, but I had no idea how metal they were! Also, fun fact: I once came upon a statblock on 5e tools for a young bulette from Princes of the Apocalypse that listed them as beasts. I double checked and sure enough, there's a bulette kennel where for the young bulettes it says to use the rhino statblock but reflavor the gore into a bite. You'd need to check with your DM obviously, but you can technically wild shape/polymorph into a baby bulette.

I know one DM who wrote a level 1 to 20 story arc and half the adventures were fishing bulletes out of the landfill . . . .that was full of various magical toxic waste, so the bullete HD and some of their abilities changed over time. The later part of the story arc was based on some movies about tattoos in Las Vegas, but the action was set in an outer planes steam/cyber punk setting.
