Appearance[]

Personality[]
Sable antelope are renowned for their stubbornness, which Bupu displays in excess. Even in harrowing situations, he refuses to listen to reason and would rather do as his instincts dictate. He can be lazy and uncaring, though he does value the safety of his herd over his own desires. Despite this, Bupu values respect and will follow orders if spoken to in a polite manner.
