Buffaloon, sometimes pluralized as Buffaloons,[1][2] are a non-sentient species of bovine found primarily in the skyways of Cool Ranch. Bearing some resemblance to the sentient Bison of Cool Ranch, Buffaloon are winged, spherical bovids that fly in herds. If threatened, Buffaloon will attack by headbutting or bodyslamming their target.

Most Buffaloon have light or dark brown fur and small to medium-sized horns on their heads, though some subspecies and those kept as pets may have a wider range of possible appearances. The Striped Bumbaloon is a strong and rare subspecies only found in Big Sky. Individual Striped Bumbaloon are often observed amongst herds of typical Buffaloon in the skyway.[3] Striped Bumbaloon are named for their stripey dark and yellow fur, their insect-like wings, and the venomous stingers on their rear ends. They also have larger horns and tend to be more aggressive than other Buffaloon.
