Bulblins are distinguished from other varieties of moblin by their stark green skin, sunken red eyes, and disproportionately long arms but short legs. Their bull-like horns are the origin of their name, but these horns make for comparatively impractical weapons and are instead a designation of status among bulblins. Isolated Tribes. Despite their moblin heritage, bulblins isolate themselves from other kinds of moblins. This is likely due to their relative intelligence compared to their more savage cousins. Indeed, bulblins have nearly as much disdain for traditional moblins as they do for the likes of hylians and gerudo. Just about the only creatures they can stand are bullbos, boar-like beasts they both ride for travel and slaughter for meat. Nomadic Plunderers. Bulblins travel in large groups, foraging through fields and deserts in large numbers. They are continuously scouting for poorly defended villages to raid, killing indiscriminately and taking no prisoners to plunder what they will. Infamously, they always leave at least a few weakened survivors so the village can build back up over the course of years, only for the same bulblin tribe to return and swipe the settlement's renewed resources. |
