Bulettes are a type of Monstrosity and non-playable race in Baldur's Gate 3. They are armoured monsters that burrow through underground tunnels and can suddenly erupt from the ground to strike.

About[edit | edit source]

Bulettes are extremely dangerous monstrosities. Their natural armour consists of thick plates layered across their bodies. Bulettes are typically native to hill environments but can be found in many different locations. Bulettes are sometimes referred to as Landsharks.

A bulette's Territorial passive feature causes them to prioritise other monstrosity creatures. This can be used to the party's advantage when luring the bulette to fight other creatures.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Bulette grants 150 XP when killed.
Glut can reanimate a bulette. It is one of the toughest and highest-damage creatures that Glut can control; however, due to its large size, it cannot use climbing apparatuses like ladders and may struggle to navigate tight areas.
Applying Bone Chilled to the Bulette before it uses Burrow will prevent it from healing as it exits combat.
