The Name Game

Mission Briefing

Sir Hammerlock isn’t happy with the name “Bullymong” and would like you to help him come up with a better name for the species before he publishes his almanac of Pandora’s wildlife. He’s asked you to head to Three Horns Divide and examine the Bullymongs (using violence, of course) so he may study them and come up with a better name.

Availability: Speak to Sir Hammerlock in Sanctuary after “The Road to Sanctuary.”

Three Horns Divide

Sir Hammerlock, always found in Moxxi’s Bar, needs you to head out into Three Horns Divide (or anywhere that contains Bullymongs should you rather return to Southern Shelf, for example) and spend some time observing the behavior of the Bullymongs native to the area. And by observing them, he primarily means killing them. This mission contains multiple objectives, including a bonus task of hunting down 15 Bullymongs, for which he’s willing to double your cash payment.

Use the Catch-a-Ride outside the Sanctuary gate and drive around the bend to the northwest, just beyond the signs in the distance. Open fire on the Bullymongs in the area with the Light Runner’s weapons, then climb out and examine the Bullymong piles. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding at least five Bullymong piles in this area, but if you do (or happen to accidentally run over too many of them in the vehicle), then just head south to either of the other areas marked on the minimap.

Your investigation into the Bullymong debris piles has caused Sir Hammerlock to consider renaming the creatures Primal Beasts. Continue your study by killing one of the newly named Primal Beasts with a grenade. It doesn’t matter how big a Bullymong, err, Primal Beast you kill. Any variety works, even the wee babies.

Not content with that name, Sir Hammerlock now wants to watch you interact with the species recently—and temporarily—called ferovores. Equip a fast-firing pistol, assault rifle, or large-capacity shotgun, and back away from the ferovores in the area so as to bait them into throwing their rocky projectiles at you. Wait for the projectile to begin its descent toward you, and open fire. Shoot three of these ferovore projectiles out of the air to satisfy Sir Hammerlock’s request.

At his wit’s end, Sir Hammerlock has decided to call the former Bullymongs bonerfarts. Yes, bonerfarts. And he’d like you to kill at least five of them. Open fire on the bonerfarts, either on foot or with your Light Runner, to complete the mission. Return to Sir Hammerlock at Moxxi’s bar to collect your reward—and the knowledge that those wooly creatures of the snowy plains will forever be known as Bullymongs.
