History[]
Clash of the Titans (1981)[]
Bubo was forged by Hephaestus and sent by Athena to aid Perseus in his quest to save the princess Andromeda in the original 1981 film.
After losing Athena’s helmet in Calibos’ swamp, Zeus orders Athena to give Perseus her owl, Bubo, as a replacement. She refuses, but agrees to have Hephaestus build a clockwork copy of Bubo to aid Perseus on his quest. Bubo helps him overcome numerous enemies, but not without a little fumbling on his part..
Clash of the Titans (2010)[]
Bubo appears only briefly in the 2010 remake. While preparing for the quest, Perseus finds Bubo in a bin in the armory and, picking him up, asks the soldiers of Argos what it is. They tell him, "Just leave it." Bubo is unceremoniously tossed away.
Wrath of the Titans[]
Bubo appears in the 2012 sequel, in Hephaestus´ forge, this was because he was seen to be "The Fallen One's only friend, to whom Hephaestus talked frequently.
