Bowll is a monster encountered in the Dunes. His scripted encounter is in East Mines, in the room after exiting the first elevator.

Profile

Appearance

The Annoying Dog popping out of Bowll's back.

Bowll is a bull with a bowl for a body. Cracks appear all over his body, with a spinning plate on the end of his tail. During battle, Annoying Dog occasionally pops up out of the bowl for a few seconds, before going back into the bowl. After cleaning him, he noticeably sparkles.

Personality

Bowll, appearing to be made out of porcelain, may be a pun on the phrase "bull in a china shop," which is used to describe someone who is reckless in situations that require carefulness. He is notably furious and lashes out at Clover at the start of the battle, acting tough to hide his insecurities about the fragility of his body. After being consoled, he's less prone to fighting and is willing to discover his true self, allowing Clover to clean them. He is irritated by red objects, as a reference to the muleta used during Spanish-style bullfighting.

Main Story

He appears as a scripted encounter in the room after finishing the elevator ride with Stresso.

Pacifist Route

After the battle with Starlo, Bowll appears in the room with an elevator leading up to the mountaintop as an NPC. He talks about solving problems with falling rocks by charging through them, how he's absolutely disgusted by Dunes being unclean, and how Clover's lucky their bandana is not red.

In Battle

Attacks

• Bull: Bulls appear around the Bullet Board, and parallel to them appear red cloths. When a red cloth appears, a bull runs towards it, damaging the SOUL if run into.
• Liquid: The Bullet Board shifts into a halfway-full mug. Marshmallows are repeatedly tossed from the top, above Clover's SOUL, which makes the liquid rise until it is almost full.
• Silverware: Two sets of silverware fill the bullet board, with one half descending and the other ascending.
• Test Song: Unused in final game. identical to El Bailador's attacks. likely used to test how El Bailador would work as Bowll is very close to them in the files.

Strategy

Bowll can be spared by using the Console ACT, then the Clean ACT.
