Do other characters know where the bulette is if it doesn't attack? If they can attack it, how do I handle it? Do I give it total cover? Can they even attack it when it is underground?

If they don't know where it is and they want to guess, how do I randomize that? Or should I just take the creature off of the board when it is underground and try to remember where it is?

Also, don't forget the rules of "hidden club." Just because a monster has total concealment doesn't mean that it's hidden unless it's succeeded on a stealth roll. – Brian Ballsun-Stanton♦ Dec 12 '11 at 21:05

In general, burrowing creatures are free from attack because there will be no line of effect from an attacker above ground. If the creature has tunneling, then it will leave passages behind which may grant line of effect to some attackers.

The Bulette's current position and movements should be known to all unless it is hidden.
