He has a large blade attached to his front, used for cutting crops, and can supposedly cut cars to pieces, although the only evidence of this was seen in one of Lightning McQueen's dreams, and the blade will only slightly bump the player in Cars: The Videogame and Cars: Mater-National Championship. Attached to his roof are two horns, and his nose features a ring, making him closely resemble a bull, much like his behavior.
