Vulo (also known as Vulo the Face-Borrower) is an independent Virtual YouTuber. Vulo debuted on the 23rd of April 2021. They are created by Film Cow who is largely known for Charlie the Unicorn, Llamas with Hats, and other abstract humor animation from the mid-2000s.

Profile[]
VTuber, creature from the void, borrower of faces, thought leader.
Appearance[]
Their body is a grey eldritch monster like thing with tentacles and wings and a purple cloth with light blue flower and a golden Illuminati necklace (that they claim was bought on Etsy). Their face is not their real face, having borrowed it from a catgirl named Christine. The borrowed face has short teal hair with cat ears and light purple eyes with a crescent moon hairpin.
History[]
2021[]
Vulo was introduced on 21 April 2021, with their first stream coming the next day, branded as Vulo Lives!). Vulo's streams followed a structure, including interviewing fictional characters such as Pikachu (who is always getting divorced, to the point he would often replace the intended interviewee just to seek therapy from Vulo), Grimace (who has a foot fetish and loves sucking on toes), Elsa (who was overthrown by the people of Arendelle), and Patti Mayonnaise (who transcended existence and is now a giant floating head preaching her own religion), playing a video game (which always gets replaced by a bizarre visual novel called The Maiden of Raven Lake), leading viewers in breathing exercises, summoning the Pony God to ask inane questions, solving murders of fictional characters (the culprit always being a Nobel Peace Prize winner who ironically committed war crimes), and trying to stop a mysterious thief from stealing their Quisp cereal, resorting to increasingly-desperate tactics (including putting it on a satellite orbiting Earth), but always failing (Vulo explains that they take on the food preferences of the person who they borrowed the face from, and Christine's favorite food just so happened to be Quisp). Vulo's final Twitch stream was on 9 May 2021.
2022[]
After a hiatus, Vulo returned on 11 March 2022 in a new format. Instead of streaming, episodes of Vulo Lives! would now be pre-recorded (they claim in Episode 2 that this was to stop the Quisp thief). Whereas the livestreams were over an hour, the new format runs around eleven minutes. Switching to a pre-recorded format also allowed for the interview segment to flow better (in the livestreams, the interviewees were static .png pictures who would have a poorly-animated mouth superimposed on when they talked, which would cause prolonged awkward pauses; in the pre-recorded episodes, the interviewees are fully-animated, eliminating these pauses and improving the comedic timing). The only part of the old format that was maintained was the interviews of fictional characters, with Pikachu, Grimace, Elsa, and Patti Mayonnaise returning (Grimace had been murdered by Ronald McDonald in the livestream he appeared in, but was brought back to life, and in his pre-recorded appearance, he derisively referred to Ronald exclusively as "The Clown").
Each episode also features an advertising segment that are either nonsensical (even confusing Vulo as to what exactly they were trying to sell), or an animation created by FilmCow that has the familiar humor (such as Kelly the Caterpillar, referring to herself as "Kelly the Cryptopillar", complaining about the crypto market, The Blueberry Valley Weather Report, where a fennec fox named Olivia and a rabbit named Trissa supposedly give weather forecasts from Blueberry Valley, only to instead talk about random nonsense, or a PSA about an anime girl named Becky Anne who is allegedly a violent criminal despite her innocent looks). The other segment involves a live-action horse marionette named Relno the Storykeeper telling scary stories (every story ends up being about actual atrocities committed by the United States Central Intelligence Agency during the Cold War such as the 1964 Brazilian coup, Project MKUltra, Operation Condor). A running storyline throughout the series involved Vulo trapping the war criminals they prosecuted in the livestreams in a book, with Henry Kissinger (whom Vulo considers the worst of them) somehow escaping.
2023[]
After yet another hiatus, an eighth episode of Vulo Lives! was released on 28 August; to date, it is the last episode of the series.
On 29 November, they appeared in a new video where they celebrate the real-life death of Henry Kissinger with a song. As of November 2025, this is Vulo's final appearance; there has been no word from FilmCow on their future.
