Out of sleep deprivation, I thought of a bull who drinks red bull. Then I thought about it more, and asked, well, why? People who drink energy drinks want to stay awake, and I thought that since I gave my bull a pretty beefed up, muscled body in my concept sketches, he must have been a ferocious fighter in the bull-fighting rinks. I understood that bulls were treated poorly in the sport, so I did a bit of researched and the story came to me.
Toro Con Alas (aka Al) is a recently retired bull from the bull-fighting rinks of Ecuador, and due to the poor treatment he received during his career as a fighter, he experiences recurring nightmares. So, in order to escape the repressed horrors of torture and mauling, he drinks copious amounts of energy drinks to stay awake. He resides in a small adobe Mexican house, but remains predominantly in his living room glued to the front of his television in order to distract himself, which doesn't really work unfortunately. Poor guy.
