Tapu Bulu has a red shell with unique markings that roughly resemble a flower or plant. When closed, it resembles a bull. Tapu Bulu has two horns made of wood that it can grow and shape to benefit it. It's arms each have what appears to be a hoof and it's tail has a gold-colored bell shaped attachment. Tapu Bulu may be related to one of the four primary Hawaiian gods, Lono - the god of agriculture and peace, though this has not been confirmed. Tapu Bulu is the guardian of Ula' Ula' and is the only one to have demonstrated it's strengh by the blackened sands of Route 14, and is the toughest to get to thanks to the desert maze.
