Bullymongs

Learn how to take down Borderlands 2's Bullymongs! This guide covers Monglets, Brat Bullymongs, Bullymong Slingers, and Adult Bullymongs, detailing their attacks and weaknesses.

Alright, let's talk about the Bullymongs. These guys are some of the first critters you'll run into in Borderlands 2, and they're basically ape-like beasts with four arms. Most of them just want to get up close and personal for some melee smacks, but watch out, 'cause some of them like to chuck rocks at you. You'll mostly find them chilling in colder areas or hanging out in Eridium Blight – those specific ones are called Bedrock Bullymongs.

Here's the lowdown on the different types you'll meet:

• Monglet: This is the baby of the bunch. Super easy to take down. All they really do is charge right at you and try to smack you with their little arms.
• Brat Bullymong: Think of these as slightly tougher Monglets. They've got a bit more health, but their attack style is exactly the same – just a straight-up melee charge.
• Bullymong Slinger: These guys prefer to keep their distance. They'll hang back and lob rocks at you. If you try to get too close, they'll actually back away to maintain that rock-throwing range. Keep an eye on them so they don't chip away at your health from afar.
• Adult Bullymong: This one's the all-rounder. It can do both: rush you for melee attacks and throw rocks from a distance. They're pretty agile too – they love to leap into the air, either landing right next to you or even on top of you! Honestly, they seem to prefer that jump-melee attack over chucking rocks, so be ready for them to close the distance fast.
