"The bulette (or landshark) was thought to be extinct until recently when this horror reappeared. It was the result of a mad wizard experimental cross cross breeding of a snapping turtle and armadillo with infusions of demons' ichor. They range temperate climates feeidng on horses, men, and most other flesh - although they dislike dwarf and shun elf of any sort. They love halfling and will hungrily dig them from thir burrows. The stupid bulette is irascible and always hungry, and they fear nothing, so a bulette will attack a large powerful party just to eat a horse or two. Sometime the crest of a burrowing landshark will break the ground - thus the name "landshark". When fihting they usually employ their front feet and gaping maw, but when cornered or seriously wounded they can jump up to 8' in the air with blinding speed and strike with all four feet. The shell under the bulette's crest, an area about a foot and one-half square is [more vulnerable] and in a fierce fight the monster tends to raise its crest to expose this vulnerable area."
AD&D 1st ed. Monster Manual
"Aptly called a landshark, the Bulette (pronounced Boo-lay) is a terrifying predator that lives only to eat. The bulette is universally shunned, even by other monsters.
Is is rumored that the bulette is a cross between an armadillo and a snapping turtle, but this is only conjecture. The bulette's head and hind portions are blue-brown, and they are covered with plates and scales ranging from gray-blue to blue-green. Nails and teeth are dull ivory. The area around its eyes is brown-black, the eyes are yellowish and the pupils are blue green."
