When Zulu! first wandered out of the Badlands to set themselves up as a Blood Bowl team, Bumba was the first to fully grasp the concepts involved in ball handling. Ever since he has eschewed the Team's powerful blocking game to toil in the backfield, seizing kickoffs and doing his best to set up something resembling an attacking drive.

Njipa was dragged thrashing and screaming from the waterholes of the Zulu hinterland, where he used to spend his days fighting crocodiles for scraps of wildebeest. He has little interest in the game of Blood Bowl, and the other Zulu!s tend to point the litte sod at the biggest opposition player and send him on his way.
