Black Bull is the boss of Lethal Highway and Death Ruins in Shadow the Hedgehog. A flying, cyclopedian Black Arms, the Bull is on both occasions summoned by Doom's Eye to subdue an intransigent Shadow.
Lethal Highway
After fighting through Lethal Highway (and potentially destroying the hovertank), Sonic and Shadow confront Doom's Eye in a cutscene, where Shadow explains that he has no intention of following the alien's orders. In response, Doom summons Black Bull; a bat crossed with a giant larval grub, to "Burn this entire city and its inhabitants to ash!".
The boss flies around a devastated city block, vomiting fireballs and occasionally being reinforced by Black Hawks and Black Warriors. Bull's only vulnerable spot is his single green eye. Sonic advises Shadow to Homing Attack the Black Hawks in order to gain enough altitude to strike at Black Bull. While this tactic eventually works, a faster method is to attack the Black Warriors, taking their guns and charging the blue Chaos Control meter. Time slows to a crawl and guns have infinite ammo when the ability is used, allowing Shadow to deliver lethal damage unobstructed into the creature's eye.
Death Ruins
The Black Bull faced by Shadow and Rouge at the end of Death Ruins is the same kind of creature, but the fight arena is very different. Here the Bull hovers in the center of a grind-rail vine, occasionally throwing out circular shockwaves as well as fireballs. Once again, though, he can be defeated by grabbing a gun and shooting him in the eye.
