The notion of a landshark either doesn’t work for you at
all, or it really, really works for you.
If you’re in the latter camp, the bulette is likely already your
favorite monster.
The dwarves of
Amberhold will not crown their new thane until his family crest is carved
on a shield made from a bulette. Since
Hemmut Oakenheart is a wizard with a lame foot, he needs surrogates to help him
slay one of the beasts—and survive the journey back through goblin and
behir-infested lands.
The peasants of
Velustan act more like sailors on a grassy sea than farmers, penning their
animals on small stony hummocks of land and tending their crops from
sail-driven wheeled skiffs. The
analogy is an apt one, as Velustan is infested with bulettes, who leap
sharp-like upon any prey unwise enough to travel on foot.
Halfling farmsteads
ransacked. Burrows
collapsed. Whole families
missing. Despite the prayers of
the priests, the rune-carved boundary wards of the druids, and the mountains
that border the land on two sides, the worst has finally happened: Bulettes
have discovered the Seven Shires.

Joshua J. Frost has plenty on bulettes in Dungeon Denizens Revisited, including
some wicked variants.
