Bighorn charges in headlong; hates to show his back to the enemy. Because of this, there are times when he plays into the enemy's hands. He also happens to have a gentle, nature loving side; however, he particularly dislikes red flowers. Has a Buffalo Missile weapon with his tail as the trigger. He has his friends handle the trigger timing (by having them pull his tail) so he can concentrate on taking aim, thus raising his accuracy rating. He has a habit of stamping his feet. He transforms into a bison and many around him have a habit of calling him a bull to which he will instantly retort "I'm a buffalo!" ^[1]

According to the show notes for Beast Wars Second he is 3.5 meters (11 feet 6 inches) tall and weighs 2.8 tons. ^[2]
