Bolbo

Creature of Runeterra

Bolbo, a sentient fish from the shores of Trannit in Noxus, wears a strangely humanlike face and lands on the table either dried or in boiled head soup.

The Bolbo is a fish found along the shores of Trannit, which places it among the aquatic life tied to Noxus. It carries a sentient designation in the records, though beyond that coastal home no wider range has been documented. What is known of the creature is drawn almost entirely from that stretch of shoreline and from the tables of the people who catch it. The Bolbo's defining trait is its face, which bears a strikingly humanlike appearance. This resemblance to a human countenance is the feature that marks the fish out from ordinary catch. No other physical detail about the animal has been set down as clearly. Despite that strange face, the Bolbo is valued chiefly as food. Drying the fish is regarded as the finest way to prepare it, preserving the catch for later use. For anyone seeking a warm meal, the heads are boiled down into a soup. In this the Bolbo serves the everyday kitchens of Trannit as much as it puzzles those who first meet its human-featured stare.
