“In some ways, you're very fortunate, Noodle Boy! Not many insects are lucky enough to be stamped out by the Demon Bull Family.”
Red Son[src]

The Demon Bull Family is a family of demons that used be known as some of the many adversaries of the Monkie Kids.

History[]

Past[]

At one point, Demon Bull King married Princess Iron Fan and had a child with her, whom they named Red Son. Early in his life, Red Son became uncontrollable due to the Samadhi Fire within him, so the Demon Bull King participated in a ritual to seal it away.[1] After leaving the Underworld, the Demon Bull King attacked a village and caused mass destruction. However, when the Monkey King appeared, the Demon Bull King engaged in a battle with him, only to be defeated and imprisoned in the Underworld for five hundred years until his son managed to release him and the family was reunited once again.[2]

Season 1[]

After a week since his defeat at the hands of MK, the Demon Bull King was frustrated about his failure until he discovered the Bone Demon Crypt. Since then, the Bull Clones began to dig up the tomb for the Demon Bull Family.

Over time, Red Son decided to share the news of the Great Wall Race with his parents. However, they showed no interest in the race and instead remained focused on their ongoing excavation of the tomb. Feeling frustrated, Red Son declared that he would keep the coveted Immortal Peach for himself if he emerged victorious in the race. Unfortunately, his parents' indifference persisted until the moment Red Son left for the race. Suddenly, the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan changed their minds and decided to crush their son's hopes of winning. However, none of them were able to claim victory in the race. The Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan encountered a brief setback when they got stuck in a mountain, forcing them to withdraw from the competition. Meanwhile, MK and Mei unintentionally crashed into Red Son's race car, hindering his chances of winning. Frustrated by his loss, Red Son confronted MK and Mei, insisting that he should have been the rightful winner. However, his anger quickly turned into realization when he discovered that the actual prize for winning the race was merely a photograph of the victor projected on the Great Wall. In an attempt to save face, Red Son lied and claimed that he had already known about the prize, leaving in a fit of anger.[3]

Following the successful excavation of the tomb by the Bull Clones, the Demon Bull King made tried to open it, only to be met with failure due to his insufficient power. Fortunately, Red Son came to his aid, revealing that the tomb could only be unlocked with the Skeleton Key and disclosing its whereabouts. With the combined efforts of Princess Iron Fan and Red Son, they managed to retrieve the key from MK and Mei. Seizing the opportunity, the Demon Bull King used the key to unlock the tomb. However, to their surprise, Red Son and Princess Iron Fan discovered that the interior contained nothing but bones. Their astonishment grew as they witnessed the power source infiltrating the Furnace, effectively taking control of both the Demon Bull King and the Bull Clones.[4]

Season 4[]

Azure Lion, Peng and Yellowtusk came to DBK to ask him for help to fulfill their plan to conquer the Celestial Realm. However, DBK refused, causing Azure to attack them. As a result, Azure trapped Iron Fan and Demon Bull King in the Scroll of Memory, leaving Red Son as a messenger to inform the Celestial Realm about their doings.

When Red Son arrived at the Celestial Realm, he informed Ne Zha about the danger, the two of them getting ready with the Celestial Armies. Unfortunately, Azure Lion trapped almost all the army in the Scroll of Memory, including Red Son, leaving Ne Zha as the only one there who could prevent them from getting into the Celestial Palace.

The Emperor's Wrath[]

After the battle, Ne Zha freed the Demon Bull Family and everyone else that was imprisoned by Azure in the Scroll of Memory. The Demon Bull Family then joined the Monkie Kids and Monkey King as they all hung out at the beach.

We created lots of prototypes and concept art to show Children all over China and The Demon Bull family was always a strong favorite. The Demon Bull also gave us great opportunities to re-imagine his character as a giant half bull half cyborg mech. It’s this twist on the original legend that really excited the children.”
