Bulldog

“In the Undertow he is the Iron Tide's mess-hall legend: loud, hungry, and soft about the young.”

A Storm echo of The Iron Tide

The living story

The story so far

Xiphactinus audax — 'audacious' — earned the name: an eighteen-foot tarpon-relative with a bulldog jaw, and one immortal fossil preserving its last meal whole, a six-foot fish swallowed in a single gulp. Bulldog tells the story at every mess. In the Undertow he runs the Iron Tide's mess hall: the portions are enormous, the stories are enormous, and the young ones get the biggest portions and the starring roles in the retellings. He has never once mentioned that the famous fossil fish was probably already dead. Some legends don't need footnotes.

Personality

The Bulldog within

“Bulldog feeds the whole Tide and tells the story better every time.”

Boisterous, generous, and loud with love — the Cretaceous's bulldog tarpon, all eighteen feet of underbite, running the Iron Tide's mess hall like a theater of appetite.

Loves
feasts, the gulp-story, the young ones
Can't stand
empty plates, quiet halls, small portions
How they befriend
He'll feed you until you laugh.
When you're having a bad day
He'll seat you at the head of the table and serve you until you can't be sad on a full stomach. The story helps. The story always helps.

How they’ll greet you: “SIT! Eat! You're too thin!”

A keeper’s whisper: There is a sad version of the famous gulp-story. Bulldog has never told it.
