Beefuru

Beefuru (ビーフル, romanized: Bīfuru) is a cow/dragon hybrid mascot, and is voiced by Camille Skyloft.

Origin
During a High Risk Fortune Cookie stream featuring Bust-A-Move 4, Jon played as the bubbly dragon, Bub. When getting a combo, Bub would shout something that sounded like "リップル!" (romanized: Rippuru; “Ripple”), which kept being heard as "Beefuru". During the same stream, Rhyme drew up a picture of a version of Bub that was more reminicient of a brown cow.

The next stream, the alert for Beefuru went live, sitting at a $12/1,200 bits donation. The alert was done by PhilipDraco, with cleaned-up art by Rhyme and with Camille voicing him. He drops random bubbles filled with various beef dishes.

To Eat or to Love?
The community has been divided on Beefuru because of one question: What does Beefuru taste like? The ethics of this has been debated since his creation. Some are very curious and wouldn’t hesitate to give him a taste. Others resent the idea of consuming him and wish to protect the baby at all costs.

Other Instances of Beefuru
Beefuru is in a couple other alerts:


 * He occasionally appears in the $3/300 bits "Cow" alert, with a little "moo?"
 * He rarely appears in the $30/3,000 bits "Play your Fu***** music!", playing music from the Bust-A-Move series before crashing the ice-cream truck. This originated from an egg by PhillipDraco.
 * He rarely appears in the $100/10,000 bits "Ryu" alert, shooting Ryu Hyabusa with kindness!... And Waluigi? This was shown as an egg by a viewer, made a few months before it became a Ryu alert variation.
 * The Beefuru Live2D model, created by VTuber HeroineMari, rarely appears in the $12/1200 bit Beefuru alert wielding a gun. He is voiced by Rhyme in this alert, who originally made the video as a test. PhillipDraco edited in a background, music, and animation.

Beefuru is also the animated emote, protonParty, made by Rhyme. He also appears in two Egg PAC emotes: BeefuruWOW, by sonocomics (sonoci), and beefuruWITHAGUN, also by Rhyme,

Lore
Beefuru is an excitable little cow/yak that loves to play with everyone he meets! He is curious about the world in much the same way as a little kid, and loves to learn about different things. He has an older sister named Beefurue and two older brothers named Beefaru and Brofuru. He's friends with Purple the Dragon.

Beefuru can produce magic capsules full of beef-related dishes for anyone who wants them.

In 2022, it was discovered that there is more than one Beefuru, but all are considered part of the same species. Beefuru have a baby form known as a “Beeflet”, and they grow in mass in the span of its lifetime. They are blind for the first year, so they must be put away from danger or else they become harmful to themselves and others. They are found in the wild, but the Jonadian Farm domesticates them.

Some Beeflets are found to be radioactive from birth, with a half-life of 50 years. After 50 years, the radiation level drops to a safe level for petting and it fully assumes the familiar Beefuru form. At 100 years old, it can start spawning meat from various sources as a result of the radiation it had suffered since its infancy, Despite its baby-like appearance, its life expentancy is said to dwindle dramatically past this point, possibly lasting only one more year (very rarely, it survives to live two more years).

Trivia

 * The idea for Beeflets and other additional Beefuru lore in this egg was concieved by Ben(Bmaster4114).
 * With the new lore created around Beeflets and the development of Beefuru, the “original” Beefuru created by Rhyme is 101 years old as of 2022.
 * The Beefuru alert is $12 because Jon tends to order 12oz. steaks.
 * The various beef dishes Beefuru drops include hamburgers, jerkey, beef stew, steak, beef stroganoff, and broccoli beef.
 * Beefuru likes purple (the color).
 * The Beefuru demo videos by Mari and Rhyme use VTube Studio. There is a feature in the app that allows attaching .PNGs and animated images to the scene or even the Live2D model itself (like a gun).
