Bat falcon

The **bat falcon** (*Falco rufigularis*) is a falcon that is a resident breeder in tropical Mexico, Central and South America, and Trinidad. It was long known as *Falco albigularis*; the names *Falco fusco-coerulescens* or *Falco fuscocaerulescens*, long used for the aplomado falcon, are now believed to refer to the present species.[2]

The female bat falcon, at 30.5 cm length, is much larger than the 23-cm-long male. Adults have a black back, head, and tail. The throat, upper breast, and neck sides are creamy white, the lower breast and belly are black, finely barred white, and the thighs and lower belly are orange. Young birds are similar, but with a buffy throat. The call of this species is a high pitched *ke-ke-ke* like the American kestrel.

It is probably closely related to and looks like a small version of the orange-breasted falcon. These two, in turn, are probably closest to the aplomado falcon and constitute a rather old American lineage of *Falco* species.[3]

This small dark bird of prey inhabits open woodlands and forest clearings. Bat falcons perch conspicuously on high, open snags, from which they launch aerial attacks on their prey. They hunt bats, birds, and large insects such as dragonflies. The smaller male takes more insects, and the female more birds and bats. The flight is direct and powerful. This falcon is partly crepuscular, as the bats in its diet suggest. It lays two or three brown eggs in an unlined treehole nest.
Bastet

**Bastet** or **Bast** was a goddess of ancient Egyptian religion, worshiped as early as the Second Dynasty (2890 BCE). As **Bast**, she was the goddess of warfare in Lower Egypt, the Nile River delta region, before the unification of the cultures of ancient Egypt. Her name is also translated as **B'sst**, **Baast**, **Ubaste**, and **Baset**.[1] In Greek mythology, she is also known as **Ailuros** (Greek for "cat", αἴλουρος).

The uniting Egyptian cultures had deities that shared similar roles and usually the same imagery. In Upper Egypt, Sekhmet was the parallel warrior lioness deity. Often similar deities merged into one with the unification, but that did not occur with these deities having such strong roots in their cultures. Instead, these goddesses began to diverge. During the Twenty-second Dynasty (c. 945–715 BC), Bast had transformed from a lioness warrior deity into a major protector deity represented as a cat.[2] *Bastet*, the name associated with this later identity, is the name commonly used by scholars today to refer to this deity. Bastet is also the protector of cats.
Blast Dragon

*Some may find the Blast Dragon's explosive personality a bit off-putting, but he's just trying to help expand everyone's horizons. Loving the ear-splitting sound of exploding dynamite, this dragon can barely hear the noise complaints! Just don't stand between the Blast Dragon and his TNT or you'll have to deal with his very short fuse!*
Beaglier

The **Beaglier** is a designer breed, the offspring of a Beagle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.[1][2] The Beaglier became particularly popular through crossbreeding programs in Australia during the 1990s.[2] The dog was developed because of affection for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Beagle breeds; the breeders were looking for a healthy, energetic small dog with a less active scent drive than that of the Beagle.[2] They are very popular in Australia[1] due to their temperaments. The Beaglier typically has the shorter and more rounded muzzle of the Cavalier.[1] Beagliers have variable coat colours and markings.
Black Jaguar (Beastformer)

**Black Jaguar** (ブラックジャガー *Burakkujagā*), nickname **Jaggy** (ジャギー Jagī), is one of the Autobot-allied Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast, and is the Autobot Beastformers' head bodyguard. He also holds the rank of King of Nupal, hailing from the country's mountain region. Unfortunately, Nupal's Emperor Crowmax, his subordinate and ordinarily a valued advisor, has allied himself with the Decepticons. Very single-minded, Black Jaguar's favored approach to problems is to power through with brute force, and once he's set down a path he refuses to turn back. He's a prodigious martial artist who is almost the equal of the famed Platinum Tiger, and can fire heat beams reaching 1 million degrees from his Hyper Beam MVP Weapon.
Blackish-blue seedeater

The **blackish-blue seedeater** (*Amaurospiza moesta*) is a species of bird in the family Cardinalidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Beavop

**Beavop** (ビーバップ *Bībappu*) is one of the many Beastformers who joined White Leo's resistance forces as Galvatron's Decepticons began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet Beast with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. His role in the Autobot-allied Beastformer forces is amphibious scout. He holds the rank of Emperor of Arxan, under King Powerjaguar, and was born in the Arxan River.
Barrage (Micromaster)

**Barrage** is the toughest member of the Astro Squad. And don't you forget it. He's always first into the firefight, and last to retreat. The minute the team sets foot on the ground, Barrage will go roaring off into the front lines, ignoring things like "rules" or "regulations", or those weird noises his partner Heave keeps making, as Barrage drags him into the fray, whether the little dork wants to be there or not. Outside of battle, though, is a different story. If he's made to deal with anything like scientific research, or fortification, or anything that doesn't involve actually fighting, his mind tends to wander. Probably to when the next battle will be.[1]
Black-bellied antwren

The **black-bellied antwren** (*Formicivora melanogaster*) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.

The black-bellied antwren was described by the Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln in 1868 and given its current binomial name *Formicivora melanogaster*.[2]
Black-spotted bare-eye

The **black-spotted bare-eye** (*Phlegopsis nigromaculata*) is a species of insectivorius passerine bird in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.[1]

The black-spotted bare-eye was described by the French naturalists Alcide d'Orbigny and Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1837 and given the binomial name*Myothera nigro-maculata*.[2] The specific epithet combines the Latin words *niger* for "black" and *maculatus* for "spotted".[3]

There are four subspecies:[4]

* *P. n. nigromaculata* (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) – southeast Colombia, east Ecuador, east Peru, north Bolivia and southwest Amazonian Brazil
* *P. n. bowmani* Ridgway, 1888 – south central Amazonian Brazil and central Bolivia
* *P. n. confinis* Zimmer, JT, 1932 – east central Amazonian Brazil
* *P. n. paraensis* Hellmayr, 1904 – northeast Brazil south of the Amazon

The black-spotted bare-eye is 16.5–17.5 cm (6.5–6.9 in) in length and weighs 42–51 g (1.5–1.8 oz). The sexes are alike.[5]

This species is a specialist ant-follower that relies upon swarms of army ants to flush insects and other arthropods out of the leaf litter.[6]
Basalt Hound

"The Basalt Hound regularly supplements its diet with rocks that it chomps to bits with its stony teeth. This mineral-rich meal helps this rubble retriever keep its crystalline coat glossy and strong. But Basalt Hounds won't eat just any old rock. They have a refined palate for pebbles and will wander for miles to find stones with a taste that meets their high standards."
Birthstone Dragon

*Once sought after by kings, queens, and nobles, the resplendent*
Birthstone Dragon is one of the most coveted dragons of all time,
although obtaining one is often difficult. Each Birthstone Dragon
features a unique gem on each head and will only hatch in the presence
of three people whose birth months are represented by the three gems.
BladeKuwagamon

**BladeKuwagamon** is a Machine Digimon. An Insect-type Machine Digimon whose entire body has been weaponized. For an Adult, it is a rare species whose whole body has been turned into Chrome Digizoid. It has a habit of reacting indiscriminately to anything that moves, and it is said that when someone is attacked by a swarm of Blade Kuwagamon, they will pierce even Ultimate Digimon all over their bodies and cause them to die.
Bazooka (BWN)

**Bazooka** (バズーカ *Bazūka*) could probably teach Dinobot a thing or two about honor. When this hard-headed saurian samurai makes a promise he sees it through to the bitter end. And if "the bitter end" means a gruesome death then, well, hey, at least he kept his word. This ironclad sense of duty and dedication has made him one of Magmatron's most loyal and appreciated subjects, which is something Bazooka takes great pride in. Alas, Bazooka naively expects the same standards of dedication and honor from his fellow Predacons, which is a pretty foolish thing to believe, considering the company he keeps.

In battle, Bazooka is just as rock-hard as his word. Any enemy in melee range is likely to feel the force of his "Gigaton Stamp" attack, a powerful blow from the bony hammer at the end of his tail. For most foes, that's the *last* thing they ever feel.
Big Serow

**Big Serow** (ビッグセロウ *Bigguserō*), also known by the nickname **Sero** (セロ), is White Leo's adjutant, a fierce but fair fighter and tactical specialist in the war against the Decepticon conquerors on planet Beast. He is the King of Saitan, the country (one of 38 on planet Beast) of his birth. Presumably this was his occupation before Alligatron's Decepticon-backed uprising sent White Leo's followers into hiding. He is specifically targeted by the evil Killer Fish for retribution over an injury Serow gave him years ago. He remains calm and collected no matter the situation, which greatly inspires the troops under his command to believe in victory, particularly Battle Bear who is at his strongest with Big Serow by his side.

Big Serow's MVP Weapon is the Big Boomerang, which can both cut through stuff and emit ultrasonic waves. Whether or not he has any relation to Little Serow is unknown.
Beagle Scout (fantasy forest story)

"There is no animal more dependable than the Beagle Scout! This playful pup has many different skills that allow it to stay calm and collected in almost any situation. It also follows a strict code and strives to be credible, dutiful, timely, cordial, respectful, compassionate, loyal, joyful, careful, noble, tidy, and polite."
Bilby Dragon

*The seasons of Burcadia are very curious indeed - for they are the inverse of our seasons in the Vale! When the summer sun shines down on us, cold reigns in the lands of Burcadia and the curious bilby dragons hibernate with their families beneath the frost. Likewise, just as the air turns chilly for us, the thin layers of ice recede in Burcadia and the bilby dragons emerge - so many that a whole sea of tufted ears can be seen covering the hills!*
Bastiodon

Bastiodon appears to be a cross between a *Zuniceratops* and a bulldozer. Its dark gray, square head resembles a castle wall, complete with four cream yellow, window-like spots with a black outline, three dark gray spikes on the top, and two larger gray spikes in the upper corners. Bastiodon's triangular nose extends from the middle of its shield-like head down over its lips and appears to be pierced by a gray, horizontal spike. Four spikes jut downward and four large, blunt tusks protrude upward from its dark gray lower jaw. Bastiodon's cream yellow eyes are partially obscured by the nasal spike and spaced-out tusks. Its thick, cream yellow body is further protected by a gray ridge and dark gray plates on its back, jagged growths on its legs, and a plated tail.

It is from roughly 100 million years ago. Despite its rough, intimidating appearance, Bastiodon is actually a docile, caring Pokémon that feeds on grass and Berries. Its steel-hard, shield-like face is capable of repelling any attack. When multiple Bastiodon line up, their faces form a wall that nothing can break through; this was how they protected their young. In stark contrast to its impenetrable frontal defense, it is vulnerable from behind. It seems to have lived in the same habitats as Rampardos, as evidenced by their fossils often being found together.
Biyomon

**Biyomon** is a Bird Digimon. Its wings have developed to become like arms and it is able to dexterously operate them and use them to grip objects, but for that reason it is poor at flying through the air. It usually lives on the ground, but when danger draws near it escapes by flying away. However, since its flying ability is on the same level as Patamon, it sees Patamon as its rival. Its dream is to someday become Birdramon, who can fly freely about the sky, and it seems it doesn't want to become Kokatorimon, who cannot fly at all. As its personality is to be brimming over with curiosity, it loves to peck at the head portion of Tanemon.[9]
BaoHuckmon

**BaoHuckmon** is a Dinosaur Digimon whose name and design are derived from "Bào (暴? lit. "Ferocious") Huckmon". It is a form of Huckmon that has gone through strict training, intensifying its sense of combat incomparably and achieving growth mentally, technically, and physically. It is a combat expert that aims for the top, continuing its training, accumulating combat experience cultivated through battle with formidable opponents, and digivolving as it battles. Its aspirations to the Royal Knights have risen as it grew, and not because it was told what it should do by someone and set its heart on it, but instead because it believes in making decisions by observing and reasoning for itself. It wears goggles on its mantle.
Black-billed magpie

The **black-billed magpie** (*Pica hudsonia*), also known as the **American magpie**, is a bird in the crow family that inhabits the western half of North America, from Colorado, to southern coastal Alaska to northern California, northern Nevada, northern Arizona, northern New Mexico, central Kansas, and Nebraska. It is black and white, with black areas on the wings and tail showing iridescent hints of blue or blue-green. It is one of only four North American songbirds whose tail makes up half or more of the total body length (the others being the yellow-billed magpie, the scissor-tailed flycatcher, and the fork-tailed flycatcher).

This species prefers generally open habitats with clumps of trees. It can therefore be found in farmlands and suburban areas, where it comes into regular contact with people. Where persecuted it becomes very wary, but otherwise it is fairly tolerant of human presence. Historically associated with bison herds, it now lands on the back of cattle to clean ticks and insects from them. Large predators such as wolves are commonly followed by black-billed magpies, who scavenge from their kills. The species also walks on the ground, where it obtains such food items as beetles, grasshoppers, worms, and small rodents.

The black-billed magpie is one of the few North American birds that build a domed nest. This nest is made up of twigs and sits near the top of trees. Usually 6–7 eggs are laid. Incubation, by the female only, starts when the clutch is complete, and lasts 16–21 days. The nestling period is 3–4 weeks.
Belleociraptor

The Belleociraptor has the same gradients as the Velociraptorbut its base colour is a pink colour instead of a cyan. It has brown hair which continues all the way down its neck, styled in a hair bun with a yellow hair tie. Most of the body is covered in a yellow dress with different tones of yellow running across the dress. At the end of the dress it has a white frill pattern. The tail, legs and arms still show.
Blackish-grey antshrike

The **blackish-grey antshrike** (*Thamnophilus nigrocinereus*) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae, the antbirds.

The species is found in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and eastern French Guiana; also a small river region of northeast Bolivia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical swamps. It got its name "blackish-grey antshrike" because of its blackish-grey color, distinguishing it from other antshrikes.
Blazing Gale Dragon

Motto of the House of the Blazing Gale: "Unscorched, Untethered, Untroubled"
Pi Roh, firework magic expert, took inspiration from the colorful plumage of the blazing gale dragon for his latest sky display. The blazing gale dragon, true to the House motto it inspired, seemed completely unfazed by this homage--it flew through Pi Roh's technics, cool as a Kraken Kabbage, paying no attention to its noisy firework lookalikes.
Bea Spells-a-Lot

**Bea Spells-a-Lot** is the smartest and most well-read resident of Lalaloopsy Land. She owns the largest collection of books in her own personal library. Whenever her friends need information, Bea is the girl with the right book for the job. She acts as Lalaloopsy Land's very own teacher and loves to educate the Littles. Bea is the older sister of little Specs Reads-a-Lot. Her name is a pun on the term "spelling bee", that means she is constantly with knowledge and mathematics.
Bonga (Beastformer)

**Bonga** (ボンガ), also known as **Gori** (ゴリ), is one of the many Beastformers who joined White Leo's resistance forces as Galvatron's Decepticonsbegan to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet Beast with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. He's free spirited, good with children and easily startled. He holds the rank of King of Halas over his best friend, Emperor Black Turtle, and rules his land with a focus on welfare policy. Bonga's role in the Autobot-allied Beastformer forces is a land attack commander and he specializes in hand-to-hand combat and use of the Bonga Sabel, a weapon that can separate objects into their component molecules and absorb them. Once the battle is done, he can reassemble the collected molecules into a new weapon.
Barrage (Insecticon)

**Barrage** believes winning is not enough, all must be leveled to the ground, and then the rubble should be burned and the ashes scattered to the wind. Merciless and cruel, he feels kindness of any sort is allowing the enemy hope, and that is unacceptable. He will shoot the retreating and the wounded, and even those taken prisoner. Barrage takes no prisoners. Then he'll keep firing until the battlefield is a smoldering crater. When he's deployed to a battlefield, even the other Decepticons take a few steps back. He's disliked even among their ranks. Maybe it's those beady, creepy little red eyes.
Bat Spin

Bat Spin hailed from the underworld, where as a child she was separated from her people. After spending months searching for them, she eventually was welcomed by a colony of magical bats who raised her as one of their own. After many peaceful years living with the bats, the colony was invaded by an army of undead trolls, who were set on stealing their magic to build an ultimate sonar weapon. Bat Spin quickly took action and used powerful abilities that she had learned growing up with the bats and essentially becoming one of them. She heroically defeated the trolls and saved the colony. This caught the attention of Master Eon, who saw at once she would make a worthy Skylander!
Beluga whale

The **beluga whale** or **white whale** (*Delphinapterus leucas*) is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the narwhal, and the only member of the genus *Delphinapterus*. This marine mammal is commonly referred to as the **beluga**, **melonhead**, or **sea canary** due to its high-pitched twitter.

It is adapted to life in the Arctic, so has anatomical and physiological characteristics that differentiate it from other cetaceans. Amongst these are its all-white colour and the absence of a dorsal fin. It possesses a distinctive protuberance at the front of its head which houses an echolocation organ called the melon, which in this species is large and deformable. The beluga's body size is between that of a dolphin's and a true whale's, with males growing up to 5.5 m (18 ft) long and weighing up to 1,600 kg (3,530 lb). This whale has a stocky body. A large percentage of its weight is blubber, as is true of many cetaceans. Its sense of hearing is highly developed and its echolocation allows it to move about and find blowholes under sheet ice.

Belugas are gregarious and form groups of up to 10 animals on average, although during the summer, they can gather in the hundreds or even thousands in estuaries and shallow coastal areas. They are slow swimmers, but can dive to 700 m (2,300 ft) below the surface. They are opportunistic feeders and their diets vary according to their locations and the season. The majority of belugas live in the Arctic Ocean and the seas and coasts around North America, Russia and Greenland; their worldwide population is thought to number around 150,000. They are migratory and the majority of groups spend the winter around the Arctic ice cap; when the sea ice melts in summer, they move to warmer river estuaries and coastal areas. Some populations are sedentary and do not migrate over great distances during the year.

The native peoples of North America and Russia have hunted belugas for many centuries. They were also hunted commercially during the 19th century and part of the 20th century. Whale hunting has been under international control since 1973. Currently, only certain Inuit and Alaska Native groups are allowed to carry out subsistence hunting of belugas. Other threats include natural predators (polar bears and killer whales), contamination of rivers (as with PCBs which bioaccumulate up the food chain), and infectious diseases. From a conservation perspective, the beluga was placed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List in 2008 as being "near threatened"; the subpopulation from the Cook Inlet in Alaska, however, is considered critically endangered and is under the protection of the United States' Endangered Species Act. Of seven Canadian beluga populations, the two inhabiting eastern Hudson Bay and Ungava Bay are listed as endangered.

Belugas are one of the most commonly kept cetaceans in captivity and are housed in aquariums, dolphinariums, and wildlife parks in North America, Europe, and Asia. They are popular with the public due to their colour and expression.
Blast Master

**Blast Master** (aka **Payload**) loves receiving orders. He's eager to load up on equipment. He's enthusiastic about blasting off into space. He's delighted to engage in battle. He's also quite likely to screw up bigtime, thanks to all this reckless enthusiasm.[1]

His combiner partner on the Astro Squad is Phaser.
Bird-cherry ermine

The **bird-cherry ermine** (*Yponomeuta evonymella*) is a day active lepidopteran from the family Yponomeutidae, the ermine moths. The wingspan of the moth ranges from 16 to 25 mm.

The host plant of the bird-cherry ermine is the bird cherry. Because the caterpillars make an extensive weblike nest, they can eat a whole tree bare unhindered although it is quite possible that the trees can survive with reduced growth in the following growth seasons.[1]

The flight time ranges from July up to August. The moth can be found in the whole of Europe and the northern and eastern part of Asia.
Bass Vegas

**Bass Vegas** is a bustling city and is much larger than Bikini Bottom. It made an episode appearance in a *SpongeBob SquarePants* episode, "*Have You Seen This Snail?*" It also appeared in the game *Bikini Bottom Brawlers*.

In real life, it is currently being surpassed by Bikini Bottom due to its rapid growth rates, thanks to Mayor SpongeBob SquarePants.
Barbella

Barbella was the best fitness trainer in all of Skylands. Not only did she possess otherworldly strength, she was also a firm believer that a healthy diet and exercise led to true happiness. With such a positive message to spread, Barbella decided to open her own fitness center called “Flex-a-lot”, where she hoped to instill good eating and workout habits with all of her patrons. But one day, the gelatinous villain known as The Gulperdestroyed her gym, and it took all of Barbella’s strength to keep it from collapsing while everyone fled to safety. It was then that Barbella realized that bad guys were more hazardous to your health than anything else, so she began to train in the ways of the Sentinel, where she quickly became one of the greatest masters in the world!
Brunei

Brunei is a tiny nation on the island of Borneo, in 2 distinct sections surrounded by Malaysia and the South China Sea. It's known for its beaches and biodiverse rainforest, much of it protected within reserves. The capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, is home to the opulent Jame’Asr Hassanil Bolkiah mosque and its 29 golden domes. The capital's massive Istana Nurul Iman palace is the residence of Brunei’s ruling sultan.
Bateleur

The **bateleur** (*Terathopius ecaudatus*) is a medium-sized eagle in the family *Accipitridae*. Its closest relatives are the snake eagles. It is the only member of the genus *Terathopius* and may be the origin of the "Zimbabwe Bird", national emblem of Zimbabwe.[2] It is endemic to Africa and small parts of Arabia. "*Bateleur*" is French for "Street Performer".[3]
Blast Off (G1)

**Blast Off** doesn't need a write-up in some pathetic, grubby little human database. It might matter to *some* robots what others think of them, or if they think of them at all, but Blast Off couldn't care less. No, he's literally and figuratively above your average Cybertronian riff-raff. The other Combaticons could completely forget he's up here, orbiting so far above the Earth, distant and alone... with only the empty void for company... and he couldn't care less. No, certainly not.

Lesser robots could hardly understand the joy... yes, that's it, the joy, he finds in efficiently and remorselessly annihilating targets from such a great distance. Blast Off was quite simply "built better" than the rest, you see, and so needs nothing from those tiny beings moving about so... so very... far away below. Blast Off... Blast Off is quite happy with his superior position, yes, quite happy and... and quite alone.

Blast Off condescends to combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus.
Bare-necked fruitcrow

The **bare-necked fruitcrow** (*Gymnoderus foetidus*) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is the only member of the genus ***Gymnoderus***. It is found in the Amazon Rainforest, especially near rivers. It is relatively common, but generally rarer and more local north of the Amazon River. Both sexes are overall mainly blackish, but the male has distinctive, large greyish-blue facial- and neck-wattles and greyish-white wings, which flash conspicuously in flight.
Barnos

**Barnos** is a Wingdrake first introduced in Monster Hunter: World. These Fervid wingdrakes that have flourished under harsh living conditions. They target intruders with a unique acidic agent, and then attack as a swarm. They can be found in small packs in the Elder's Recess. Their materials can be used to craft the Barnos Jacket.
Alligator snapping turtle

The **alligator snapping turtle** (*Macrochelys temminckii*) is a species of turtle in the family Chelydridae, native to freshwater habitats in the United States. *M. temminckii* is one of the heaviest freshwater turtles in the world.[3] It is often associated with, but not closely related to, the common snapping turtle, which is in the genus *Chelydra*. The specific epithet *temminckii* is in honor of Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck.[4][5]

Although it was once believed that only one extant species exists in the genus *Macrochelys*, recent studies have shown that there are two species, the other being the Suwannee snapping turtle (*M. suwanniensis*) of the Suwannee River[6][7] (a third species, the Apalachicola snapping turtle *M. apalachicolae*, has been proposed,[8] but is generally not recognized).[6][7][9]

The alligator snapping turtle is given its common name because of its immensely powerful jaws and long, spring-like neck, as well as distinct ridges on its shell that are similar in appearance to the rough, ridged skin of an alligator.
Black-headed gull

The **black-headed gull** (*Chroicocephalus ridibundus*) is a small gull that breeds in much of Europe and Asia, and also in coastal eastern Canada. Most of the population is migratory and winters further south, but some birds reside in the milder westernmost areas of Europe. Some black-headed gulls also spend the winter in northeastern North America, where it was formerly known as the common black-headed gull. As is the case with many gulls, it was previously placed in the genus*Larus*.

The genus name *Chroicocephalus* is from Ancient Greek *khroizo*, "to colour", and *kephale*, "head". The specific *ridibundus*is Latin for "laughing", from *ridere* "to laugh".[2]
Bat-eared fox

The **bat-eared fox** (*Otocyon megalotis*) is a species of fox found on the African savanna, named for its large ears,[4] which are used for thermoregulation.[3] Fossil records show this canid first appeared during the middle Pleistocene, about 800,000 years ago.[4] It is considered a basal canid species, resembling ancestral forms of the family.[5]

The bat-eared fox (also referred to as big-eared fox, black-eared fox, cape fox, and Delalande’s fox) has tawny fur with black ears, legs, and parts of the pointed face. It averages 55 cm in length (head and body), with ears 13 cm long. It is the only species in the genus *Otocyon*.[1] The name *Otocyon* is derived from the Greek words *otus* for ear and *cyon* for dog, while the specific name *megalotis* comes from the Greek words *mega* for large and *otus* for ear.[3]
Blast Zone

As a young furnace knight, Blast Zone was part of the Skylands Bomb Squad, specializing in the safe disarming and removal of troll bombs. But it was not long before the trolls got tired of Blast Zone constantly thwarting their evil plans, so they decided to go after the furnace knight himself. Late one night, an army of trollssnuck into Blast Zone’s village and threw 100 bombs down his chimney. Acting quickly, Blast Zone swallowed each bomb and then belched a jet of fire back at the invaders – sending them fleeing with their boots on fire. The tale of the attack eventually reached the ear of Master Eon, who knew the brave furnace knight had all the makings of a Skylander.
Buff-throated foliage-gleaner

Buff-throated purpletuft

The **buff-throated purpletuft** (*Iodopleura pipra*) is a small species of South American bird in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where now placed by SACC.

It is endemic to the Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
Batrachognathus

***Batrachognathus*** is an extinct genus of "rhamphorhynchoid" pterosaur from the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian - Kimmeridgian) Karabastau Svita of the central Asian republic of Kazakhstan. The genus was named in 1948 by the Russian paleontologistAnatoly Nicolaevich Ryabinin. The type species is *Batrachognathus volans*. The genus name is derived from Greek *batrakhos*, "frog" and *gnathos*, "jaw", in reference to the short wide head. The specific epithet means "flying" in Latin.
Bearded Dragon

*Named by the Wizard Pogona, bearded dragons are named for the spikes protruding from their jaws. They can often be found lazing about, basking in the sun. Due to their solitary nature, they've often been mischaracterized as grumpy, but the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Bearded dragons take great interest in training younger dragons making sure they stay in line*
Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, is a large city known for ornate shrines and vibrant street life. The boat-filled Chao Phraya River feeds its network of canals, flowing past the Rattanakosin royal district, home to opulent Grand Palace and its sacred Wat Phra Kaew Temple. Nearby is Wat Pho Temple with an enormous reclining Buddha and, on the opposite shore, Wat Arun Temple with its steep steps and Khmer-style spire.
Big Convoy

You *don't* want to give **Big Convoy** (ビッグコンボイ *Biggu Konboi*) a hard time. While most Maximal Supreme Commanders are known for their level-headed and friendly natures, Big Convoy breaks the mold by positively wrecking and ruining anyone who gives him lip. A gargantuan bruiser of a warrior, he tramples the opposition in his woolly mammoth beast mode and utterly obliterates them in robot mode with his Big Cannon. He is known throughout the Maximal ranks as "The One-Man Army", a solitary Supreme Commander who can do the work of a whole battalion all on his lonesome.

So of course the Convoy Council felt he would make a perfect training instructor for a batch of new recruits freshly minted from the Maximal Military Academy. While it takes every ounce of restraint Big Convoy can muster not to completely throttle the green little twerps, deep down he kinda-sorta *likes* them. Or he's getting there, anyway. Vector Sigma has taken a special interest in Big Convoy and often speaks *through* him via the Energon Matrix in his chest. And with each lesson in warfare he imparts on his new recruits, Big Convoy in turn learns a lesson about friendship and teamwork.
Barack Obllama

The Barack Obllama has brown fur, similar to that of Barack Obama, which the Barack Obllama is based on. On its body, it wears a black suit with a visible white collared shirt underneath. On its back is a section of white. Its legs are a taupe colour. Its feet are black, representing black shoes. On its behind it has an American flag standing upright.
Black-knobbed map turtle

The **black-knobbed map turtle** (*Graptemys nigrinoda*), formerly known as the **black-knobbed sawback**, is a small to medium-sized aquatic turtle with light gray skin.[3] Some of the most distinguishing characteristics of the black-knobbed map turtle, and the *Graptemys* genus, are the protruding “spikes” on the turtle’s carapace. This species inhabits mainly the fall lines of rivers in the Mobile Bay drainage, in Alabama and Mississippi.[4]
Buff striped keelback

The **buff striped keelback** (*Amphiesma stolatum*) is a species of nonvenomous colubrid snake found across Asia. It is the sole species of genus **Amphiesma**. It is a typically nonaggressive snake that feeds on frogs and toads. It belongs to the subfamily Natricinae, and is closely related to water snakes and grass snakes. It resembles an Asian version of the American garter snake. It is quite a common snake but is rarely seen.
Beauty

**Beauty** is a characteristic of an animal, idea, object, person or place that provides a perceptual experience of pleasureor satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, culture, social psychology, philosophy and sociology. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection.

Ugliness is considered to be the opposite of beauty.

The experience of "beauty" often involves an interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Because this can be a subjectiveexperience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."[1]

There is evidence that perceptions of beauty are evolutionary determined, that things, aspects of people and landscapes considered beautiful are typically found in situations likely to give enhanced survival of the perceiving human's genes.[2][3]
Barycholos pulcher

***Barycholos pulcher*** is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is endemic to Pacific lowlands of Ecuador, to 600 m (2,000 ft) asl.[2]

Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests. It can also live in secondary forest, provided that habitats with leaf-litter are available. This locally common species is threatened by habitat loss and pollution.[1]
Berukyurosu

Berukyurosu is a flying wyvern that is able to shoot a linear lightning beam from its mouth. The beam itself is very similar to that of the Rajang. Berukyurosu is highly adept in aerial combat, able to do even more difficult maneuvers than the Kushala Daora.

Berukyurosu has the ability to learn patterns of attack from hunters and will counter it, or will attack/evade accordingly. It will also change behavior depending on what weapons are used and what quest it's in. It bears a passing resemblance to Rathalos and may be related to it. When enraged, the yellow mane of Berukyurosu will turn orange, and it will fly into the air to attempt a dive bomb capable of unleashing a massive explosion of thunder.
Bun Bun Sticky Icing

**Bun Bun Sticky Icing** is Lalaloopsy Land's biggest cinnamon bun enthusiast! She's got a big personality that's a real treat. A great friend, she's the girl to have around when you're in a sticky situation. Her name is based off the yummy, sticky icing that coats the cinnamon buns that she so loves!
Beady Long Legs

The **Beady Long Legs** (ダマグモ?, lit.: "Orb Spider") is an enemy in the first two *Pikmin* games. The only attack it has is stomping around – which it does more quickly when damaged – and its multiple feet crush any Pikmin they land on. Its weak spot is its orbicular torso; given its height, Yellow Pikmin are normally needed. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. The creature is in both the main game and Challenge Mode of both games it appears on.

In *Pikmin 2*, the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. It also has slightly different shaped feet. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less health, slower movements, different cries, and their feet don't stick on the ground. When at low health, the Beady Long Legs will acquire a reddish tint and start smoking at the joints in *Pikmin*. In *Pikmin 2*, the creature's body will start to flake away at low health.

It first appears as a boss in *Pikmin*, where it is found in The Forest Navel, holding the Guard Satellite, and again in The Final Trial in Challenge Mode. In *Pikmin 2*, one appears on sublevel 5 of the Citadel of Spiders, where it drops a key which unlocks Challenge Mode, one on sublevel 14 of the Hole of Heroes, which holds the Fond Gyro Block, and one in the Twilight Garden in Challenge Mode (again holding The Key). Additionally, one more can be found in front of the landing site in the Perplexing Pool after day 30; killing this one yields 20 small 1-pellets. It appears every day if it is not killed and always spawns on the first day of each 10 day period starting from day 31. Despite rumors, it is not exclusive to palindrome days (33, 44, etc).

The Beady Long Legs does not appear in *Pikmin 3*, but there are two new Arachnorb bosses similar to it, the Shaggy Long Legs and Baldy Long Legs.
Beauty rat snake

The **beauty rat snake** (*Orthriophis taeniurus*), also called the **beauty ratsnake**, the **beauty snake**, or the **cave racer**, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is native to the eastern and southeastern regions of Asia. *O. taeniurus* is a long, thin, semi-arboreal species of snake with several recognized subspecies.[2] This constrictor feeds on rodents, and though it is favored in some locations as a natural pest control or pet, it is also considered an invasive species in other locations.[3][4][5]
Bluehorse (Beastformer)

**Bluehorse** (ブルーホース *Burūhōsu*), nickname **Blues** (ブルース *Burūsu*), is one of the many Beastformers who joined White Leo's resistance forces as Galvatron's Decepticons began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet Beast with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. He's a reliable guy harboring a strong sense of justice and all the qualities of a good leader, though he is easily moved to tears. His strength, speed and endurance are top-notch and he can spend all day running without breaking a sweat, befitting his role as high speed warrior in the Autobot-allied Beastformer forces. Bluehorse also holds the rank of Emperor of Rabbihos, under King Rabbit Kid, and was born in Rabbihos City.

Bluehorse's MVP Weapon is an axe named Tomahorse, which has the rather useful ability to break *anything* and is markedly stronger than Violethorn's Tomahorn.
Boaring

The Boaring is designed to look like a stereotypical nerd. The Boaring itself is identical to a Wild Boar, although it wears clothes and glasses and has large front teeth similar to a buck-toothed beaver. Its glasses are thick-framed and square, with the two eyepieces held together by layers of tape. Its clothes consist of a white shirt without a collar and baby blue pants separated by a single black line running all the way around its midsection. Interestingly, the Boaring also lacks tusks, signifying its lack of toughness.
Blastcharge (Cybertron)

The leader of the Deep Space Mini-Con Team, **Blastcharge** works with the Sky Terror Mini-Con Team in undermining the work of the Mini-Con Council of Sages, with the ultimate aim of destroying them and turning the Mini-Cons into slaves of the Decepticons. He has overseen the construction of a decoy rebel base in the 3000-mile-wide debris field orbiting Cybertron. He's really looking forward to using it to destroy whoever the Council sends to stop their plans.
Black jack (fish)

The **black jack**, *Caranx lugubris* (also known as the **black trevally**, **black kingfish**, **coal fish** and **black ulua**), is a species of large ocean fish in the jack family Carangidae. The species has a circumtropical distribution, found in oceanic, offshore waters of the tropical zones of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The species is particularly prevalent around offshore islands such as the Caribbean islands in the Atlantic, Hawaii and French Polynesia in the Pacific and the Seychelles and Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Black jack are rare in shallow waters, preferring deep reefs, ledges and seamounts in clear waters. The species is easily distinguished by its black to grey fins and jet black scutes, with the head having a steep profile near the snout. The largest recorded length is 1 m and weight of 17.9 kg. The black jack lives either individually or in small schools, and is known to school with other species. It is a predatory fish, taking a variety of fish, crustaceans and molluscs as prey. Sexual maturity is reached at 34.6 cm in females and 38.2 cm in males, with spawning taking place between February and September in the Caribbean. The early life history of the species is very poorly understood. Black jack are of high importance to many island fisheries, but are rarely encountered in most continental fisheries. The species has a reputation as a gamefish, and is variably considered a terrible or excellent food fish, although several cases of ciguatera poisoning have been attributed to the species. The species was initially named *Caranx ascensionis* by Georges Cuvier, however several issues with the use of this name have seen Felipe Poey's name *Caranx lugubris* become the valid scientific name.
Blades

Blades came from a long line of dragons that guarded the dungeon of Scalos Castle, where the Golden Fear Serpent had slumbered for a century. Although it was considered an honor, Blades dreamed of becoming a knight so he could go on adventures in faraway lands. But one evening, a deafening roar shook the castle and a wave of fear swept over. The serpent had awoken! Fighting his fear with each step, Blades descended into the chamber. As he entered, the golden beast grinned and made Blades an offer - he would leave the kingdom unharmed and slumber for another hundred years, as long as Blades agreed to remain in the dungeon for eternity. Knowing the safety of the kingdom was more important than his ambition, Blades accepted the offer. Then suddenly, the fear was gone and the serpent vanished - for it turned out the only way to defeat the serpent was to confront his fear. News of this bravery soon found its way to Master Eon, who came to see Blades at once and made him a Skylander.
Brawlin' Bettie

A roller derby girl with a mind full of ideas and a heart full of blood, Brawlin' Bettie brings ruthless skating-powered beatdowns to any foe on the track or in the ring. A master of using inertia and force to her advantage, Brawlin' Bettie turns her opponents' power against them with grace, sass and feudal levels of violence.
Build Team (RID)

The **Build Team** is a team of Autobot engineers and architects, responsible for building the Global Space Bridge on Earth. They can also combine into the super robot Landfill. Optimus Prime values them as builders, but would generally prefer to keep them away from the battlefield. It's easy to see why: They are the worst fighters on his team, bar none. (They got their asses handed to them by the Predacons, of all beings). Unfortunately, the Build Team has a tendency to charge recklessly into battle, often with very painful results for them.

This team consists of:

* Wedge (Leader)
* Grimlock
* Hightower
* Heavy Load
Buckley's slender-legged tree frog

**Buckley's slender-legged tree frog** (*Osteocephalus buckleyi*) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found along the periphery of the Amazon Basin in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, northeastern Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, and also in the Orinoco Delta in Venezuela.[1][2][3][4] It is probably a species complex.[2][3][4] Some sources treat *Osteocephalus vilmae* from Ecuador and Peru as a valid species.[3]
Buccaneer

**Buccaneers** were a kind of privateer or pirate peculiar to the Caribbean Sea during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Originally the name applied to the landless hunters of wild boars and cattle in the largely uninhabited areas of Tortuga and Hispaniola. The meat they caught was smoked over a slow fire in little huts the French called *boucanes* to make *viande boucanée* – *jerked meat* or *jerky* – which they sold to the corsairs that preyed on the shipping and settlements (largely Spanish) of the Caribbean. Eventually the term was applied to the corsairs and (later) privateers themselves, also known as the Brethren of the Coast. Though corsairs, also known as *freebooters*, were largely lawless, privateers were nominally licensed by the authorities – first the French, later the English and Dutch – to prey on the Spanish, until their depredations became so severe they were suppressed.[2]
Bastet (fantasy forest story)

*"Bastet is a fiercely loyal friend who will always protect its friends, no matter the challenge.
