## Profile

### Appearance

Bowll is a bull with a bowl for a body. Cracks appear all over its body, with its tail notably having a spinning plate on the end. Occasionally during battle, the annoying dog may pop up out of the bowl for a few second, before going back into the bowl.

After cleaning him, he noticeably sparkles.

### Personality

Bowll is notably furious and lashes out at Clover at the start of the battle, being insecure about the state of his body. After being consoled, he's less prone to fighting and is willing to discover his true self.
