'''It's a Bully''' is, hence his name, the school bully of [[Here School]] in ''[[Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning]]''. He is a poorly modeled student that stands still around the school blocking the hallways, presumably existing in the game because it is believed that "every good school needs a good bully!", according to his description in the [[Principal's Office]].

It's a Bully appears as a terribly-modeled CGI human figure with an orange ellipse sphere for a torso, blue cylinders for limbs, and small tan balls for hands and feet. His arms and legs both use the same model. He has an incredibly distorted and malformed face with smaller eyes (beady due to the overall dithering effect), a gaping mouth with red lips (orange due to dithering) that clip into where his neck would be, a fat asymmetrical nose, and brown hair. He doesn't wear shoes, and he has brown Calibri text floating next to his head that says "<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; color:#412006;">'''THIS IS A BULLY'''</span>" in all-caps. His pose appears to be in the middle of a run cycle. He speaks in a quiet voice, but every word at the end of a line he says has an echo effect.

Being the school bully, It's a Bully has a desire to take [[the Player]]'s items, making him appear as selfish and greedy. It's a Bully likes to get what he wants. He thinks that if the Player has no items, that they shouldn't be able to pass by him.

If the Player attempts to approach It's a Bully, he will steal a random item from their [[inventory]]. Afterwards, he will mysteriously vanish and let the Player pass. However, if the Player approaches It's a Bully with nothing in their inventory, he will continue to block the Player's path, forcing the Player to go another way, if there is one. More than 180 seconds later while occupying in the same spot, he will disappear, stating that he's bored.

It's a Bully is considered to be the lowest threat of the bunch as he is stationary and only blocks one hall at a time, but he can still be a problem if the Player is running from [[Baldi]] (especially if he is right behind them) and the Bully just so happens to get in the way. The Player must keep in mind that It's a Bully will take any of their three items, so they must be willing to give up any of said items. Additionally, It's a Bully cannot be pushed with the usage of [[BSODA]], nor can he be pushed by [[Gotta Sweep]].

If [[Principal of the Thing]] spots It's a Bully in the halls, he will send him to detention and open up the path that he was blocking, allowing the Player to pass, with It's a Bully not appearing until 90 seconds of cooldown has passed.

In the [[camping]] field trip, It's a Bully will hide behind a single forest tree. He will stalk the Player while not being looked at. Once he catches up to the Player, he will come out from behind his tree and take the Player's [[Firewood|sticks]]. The Player must avoid him, and a good way to know if he is there is checking to see if a tree appears to be moving by looking away and back at one quickly, or checking to see It's a Bully's arm sticking out from behind a tree.

He is a poorly modeled student that stands still around the school blocking the hallways, presumably existing in the game because it is believed that "every good school needs a good bully!" according to his description in the Principal's Office.
It's a Bully appears as a terribly-modeled CGI human figure with a fat orange ellipse sphere for a torso, blue cylinders for limbs, and small tan balls for hands and feet. His arms and legs both use the same model. He has an incredibly distorted and malformed face with smaller eyes (beady due to the overall dithering effect), a gaping mouth with red lips (orange due to dithering) that clip into where his neck would be, a fat asymmetrical nose, and brown hair.

Glitches
A list of fixed bugs throughout the pre-V1.4 versions of the classic edition:
Before V1.1, It's a Bully's spawn time is a lot shorter, and sometimes can spawn on top of the Player and causes the game to soft-lock.
Before V1.2, a rare bug prevents It's a Bully from spawning.
