Beefuru

Beefuru (ビーフル, lit. 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!" (lit. Rippuru), 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?
From Beefuru's creation, there has been a divide in the audience all from one question. "What does Beefuru taste like?" Two sides have come forth against each others. One wanting to know the taste, and the other to protect the Beefuru 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.
 * He rarely appears in the $100/10,000 bits "Ryu" alert, shooting Ryu Hyabusa with kindness!... And Waluigi?
 * The Beefuru Live2D model created by HeroineMari rarely appears in the $12/1200 bit Beefuru alert wielding a gun. He is voiced by Rhyme in this alert.

Beefuru is also the animated emote, protonParty, made 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.

It's somewhat ambiguous whether there's more than one Beefuru or if there's just the one Beefuru we know and love, as he is seemingly everywhere and having fun with everyone.

Trivia

 * Many had believed they had misspelled Beefuru's name before the spelling was decided.
 * Beefuru and his siblings names are pronounced the same.
 * The Beefuru alert being 12$ is 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).
