'''Knuckle Dragger''' is a larger, more powerful version of a standard [[Bullymong]]. It is the first boss of the game. He is fought in the icy canyons of the [[Southern Shelf]] (Map Location: [[Windshear Waste]] from Claptraps House). He is first seen in Claptrap's House where he rips out the robot's eye. He resembles a large, snow white [[Bullymong|Adult Bullymong]] with white fur protruding from his face and shoulders. The only other characteristic that defers it from adult bullymongs is that he sports [[Claptrap]]'s eye on a necklace.

Knuckle Dragger will hop off his perch and throw large rocks, similar to standard Bullymong behavior. He attacks with punches and jumping on his victim. When he is at about half health, he will return to his perch and summon [[Bullymong#Types_of_Bullymongs|Monglets]]. After a short time he will jump back down.
