Description
The Lesser Bulette, or baby landshark, is a creature which is simply a minature version of its namesake. Presumably a creation of the same (or at least very similar) process that created the Bulette created its smaller cousin. Certainly the lesser Bulette rivals it when it comes to diet the smaller creatures are known to devour teams of pack horses in under 15 minutes, although they do show restraint in what they are attacking.
The lesser Bulette attacks with its two front claws and bite, but if cornered is capable of the same 8' leap that the bulette is capable of, in which case it attacks with its back claws as well for an additional 1-8/1-8.
Lesser Bulettes are never found in the same area as their larger cousins, as the latter is too successful in competing for the same food source.
