Babe The Blue Ox

Babe the Blue Ox is a well known figure from Lumberjack folklore. He was found as a calf by Paul Bunyan after it fell in Lake Michigan during the Winter Of The Blue Snow. He’s thought to be large enough to break through several feet of ice. He has an incredible appetite and could even eat a metal pot. He has bright blue hair, a black nose, and horns that were white except for the tip where they became brown, and he quickly grew to massive sizes.
