The Bubble Horse (バブルホース, Baburu Hōsu) is a Greed Island animal which looks like a horse and lives in the hills.[1]

Overview[]

The Bubble Horse is a type of horse that releases red and white bubbles that, when popped, releases a loud noise which it uses the opportunity to escape.[1]

Bubble Horse's Bubbles

The Bubble Horse's ability

The Bubble Horse releases a multitude of bubbles from its mouth and shakes them off with its tail. Some of the bubbles are white, and the others are red. The bubbles spread around, and it uses their popping as a diversion to escape from its pursuers. The white bubbles will only burst if they come in contact with aura, whereas the red bubbles will only burst if they touch anything other than aura.[1]

To counter this tactic and catch the Bubble Horse, a player needs to keep track of all bubbles, either to avoid them altogether or, when contact is inevitable, to quickly switch between Ten and Zetsu as needed, until they finally reach the horse and grab it.[2]

Trivia[]

  • Its ability and head/mouth format may be partly based on a play with words or a pun, that being the English words "horse" and "hose" which in Japanese are homophones and homographers written and read as hōsu (ホース)—although for the animal this use is uncommon.
