Description: Hephaestus is the Greek god of blacksmiths, metalworking, carpenters, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metallurgy, fire, and volcanoes. Hephaestus' Roman equivalent is Vulcan. In Greek mythology, Hephaestus was either the son of Zeus and Hera or he was Hera's parthenogenous child. He was cast off Mount Olympus, by his mother because of his deformity or, in another account, by Zeus for protecting Hera from his advances.

Description: Bubo, in Greek Mythology, was a robotic replica of Athena's beloved magical owl of the same name. 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, where Bubo helps him overcome numerous enemies.
Description: When Zeus learned that Perseus was on his way to the Shrine of the Stygian Witches, the king of the gods knew needed to send something to aid him on his quest. He instructed Athena to send her pet owl to aid Perseus as a replacement for his ill-fated Invisibility Helmet. Athena refused, but then relied on Hephaestus to build a mechanical version of her owl. Bubo the brass-and-iron owl was then sent to Earth where he helped Perseus on his Quest to the Stygian Witches. Bubo may have been a tad clumsy but he was a reliable ally.
