The bubonic form of the plague involves the pathognomonic “bubo” and is caused by deposition of the bacillus in the skin by the bite of an infected vector.
This usually is observed in bites to the oral, tonsillar, and pharyngeal area and is believed to occur because of the vascularity of the tissue and short lymphatic distance to the thoracic duct.
Bubo location is primarily a function of the region of the body in which an infected flea inoculates plague bacilli.

Ol' Cap knew me and Bubo were flaming, and thought we might like to wager both our butts against an old sea-chest filled to brim, the pirate said, with "manly frigging tools" from a lifetime spent on the Seven Seas.

Ol'Cap refused this one at first, but Bubo and I strong-armed him (which was fun for all of us) and after this, Ol'Cap told us what he knew about the box's contents, but demurred from opening it.

 Commentary f50r Rolling in nettles saves St Benedict. Bubo the Owl - The Aberdeen Bestiary
Bubo the Owl Illustration: This owl bubo is tawny brown and beige with a flat face and prominent ears like horns.
Bubo, as described by Aristotle (buas or bruas in Greek) was as large as an eagle which must indicate the relatively rare eagle owl.
As projecting ears or horns are not mentioned in the Bestiary text they may derive from a much earlier source which was still aware of the connection between bubo and the eagle owl.
