Description
The Bulette (pronounced boo-lay) is a terrifying predator that lives only to eat. Almost 10 feet tall and 15 feet long, it resembles something akin to a gigantic armadillo crossed with a snapping turtle. A bulette moves by quickly burrowing through the earth, leaping out to attack those on the surface.
A bulette attacks anything it regards as edible, biting or clawing for 1d6+2 points of damage. It can leap 10 feet through the air and make one claw attack, but cannot bite with such an attack. If somehow one gets on top of a bulette, the area behind its head plates is only AC 5 [14]. It is effectively immune to most types of attacks while burrowing.
A bulette senses vibrations in the earth, and is able to sense positions and numbers of creatures within 60 feet while burrowing.
