Legend has it that Hullabaloos were employed by British monarchs as personal security alarms in the 1300s. However, the dreadful song of the Hullabaloo (created by blowing violently though their huge bulbous noses) and the fact that they loved to sing, combined to make them terribly unpopular with humans, and they were slowly, but surely, hunted to extinction. On Infinity, of course, the Hullabaloo has found his happy ending and his secret, acting as a warning siren in the dangerous desert of gloom.
