Description

The Alpha Root bulette is a creature that has been in contact with some of the fey wilds, and with that becoming more incorporated into its survival habits and instincts by eating the poisonous roots of different fey plants and organisms that dare to attack it. These bulettes usually can lead a small pack of bulettes who are near for their mating nests and protect them against possible poachers, and other monsters that think a bulettes eggs are easy pickings.
