Tirras, or Tyras (ティラ), are rideable creatures in the Bomberman series.
Description[]
They are rhino-like creatures that can be ridden by other characters. Similar to Louies, they are found inside Eggs and the player can move and jump with them, but their strengths are different.
In Bomberman Fantasy Race, Louies have better control while Tirras have a higher speed. They first appeared in Saturn Bomberman, but have rarely made appearances outside of these two games.
Types of Tirras[]
Saturn Bomberman[]
- Purple Tirra - emits ultrasonic waves to explode bombs and reveal the items of Soft Blocks (bombable). Its ultrasonic waves grow as it grows.
- Blue Tirra - can kick bombs on objects. Its kicking ability grows when he grows.
- Green Tirra - runs down the line until stopped by an obstacle. As it grows, it becomes faster and gains the ability to stop running and make turns while running.
- Yellow Tirra - can stop your opponents in their tracks with its roar. Its reach increases as it grows. Its roar causes other players to abandon power-ups. It screams "GYA".
- Pink Tirra - can jump over Soft Blocks. When grown, it can also jump over Hard Blocks and jump longer distances.
Bomberman Fantasy Race[]
- Blue Tirra: Faster than the Green Louie, but cannot jump as high.
- Brave Tirra: Has the best stamina, allowing it to run at top speed in a short course.
- Flying Tirra: The Tirra with the best jump.
- Mighty Tirra: Strong defense makes it hard to knock this Tirra down with explosions.
- Super Tirra: The strongest Tirra, who is an even match for Hyper Louie.
- King Tirra: After the other Tirras have been purchased, this one becomes available. It has the highest stats and is the most expensive to purchase.
Trivia[]
- Although Tirras are generally friendly, in Saturn Bomberman, there also exists a type of Tirra, Puyoyon, that appears as an enemy.
- In Saturn Bomberman, the 5 colored Tirras appear as toys holding power-ups items in the Bomber Catcher minigame.
