Bulette

A bulette (/bᵿˈlɛt/ buu-LET, /bjuːˈlɛt/ bew-LET, /buːˈleɪ/ boo-LAY, or /bjuːˈleɪ/ bew-LAY), or landshark, is a fictional heavily scaled carnivorous monster from the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, a huge ravenous creature that burrows through the earth and attacks unsuspecting victims from below. Originally inspired by a cheap plastic toy, the bulette was one of the first monsters specifically created for D&D, and has been included in every edition of D&D, although various aspects of the monster have changed from edition to edition.
