 '''Bulettes''' are massive, dangerous beasts, possessing immense strength and power in their limbs and bodies.  They're able to cause tremendous [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] when [[Attacking in Combat|attacking]], in addition to [[Incidental Damage|incidental damage]].  They prefer warm climates and open ranges with soft, rich soil into which they can burrow.  They're also able to swim, but enter the water only to cross river barriers.
