Burbo

Burbo is an antagonist appearing in The Man.

Burbo appears in The Man as the slowest but largest enemy. He slowly approaches the player consistently, making him the only character who does not stop moving. Despite these traits, his very slow speed hardly makes him a threat.

In The Man 1 (and the scrapped space sequel), Burbo is shown as only his head. However, in The Man 2, it is revealed that he is actually wormlike in appearance, and is now made up of two segments. He still has his normal attack pattern, but is slightly larger because of the body segment that follows behind him.

Burbo was supposedly always meant to be a worm creature, but such a thing was unable to be implemented in earlier versions due to a lack of understanding regarding coding his body. As such, Burbo undergoes the biggest design change between The Man 1 and 2.
