Character
Buggalo
Buggalo in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
Buggalo is one of the alien space-cattle raised on farms across the Futurama universe — a lumbering, buffalo-like beast with an insectoid twist, kept for milk, meat, and general background absurdity. It doesn't scheme or want anything beyond grazing; it exists as scenery that occasionally moos its way into the plot.
The joke is entirely in the concept: a perfectly ordinary farm animal reimagined as something faintly monstrous, treated by every human character with total nonchalance. Maurice LaMarche's vocal touches give the creature just enough presence to land a sight gag, proof that Futurama's world-building extends even to its livestock.
The Buggalo are a race of cow/beetle-like aliens who are thought to be native to Mars as Native Martians have used them to fly on. They are found on Mars - in the Wong Ranch - and on the Moon.
