Butch the Bullbo
Redo has owned many a Bullbo over his long career as a raider for the Bulblin tribe, some more dense and disobedient then others. His current mount is named Butch, although Redo is just as likely to not call him by his name as he is to use his name. Like all Bullbo, Butch is a large and muscular boar-like creature that stands about twice as tall as his master at his tallest point. Butch is covered in short brown fur, has blood-red eyes, and has a long and sharp tusk on either side of his mouth. Redo raised and trained Butch from shortly after he was born. This makes Butch fiercely loyal to his master and highly receptive to his wishes. In fact, Butch will normally let Redo do most of the thinking while they are together and won't trust another creature to mount him, even a Bulblin. Butch is often equipped with a leather saddle that is small enough for Redo to ride him (or rampage with him) without falling off. Redo uses Butch for transportation, as a mobile crossbow platform, and as a living battering ram. However, Redo is accustomed to traveling on foot with Butch a distance away when alone, so as to not attract unwanted attention. If needed, Redo will summon Butch to his side by shooting a burning crossbow bolt into the air with low power.
Redo treats Butch well in general to keep him healthy, but he can also be rough with him because the beast is simply so tough. Likewise, Redo does not bother to equip Butch with any armor for exactly the same reason.
