Algunes llegendes i contes de fades inclouen un gegant anomenat Blunderbore, sobretot el conte (Jack, l'assassí de gegants). Les històries solen associar-lo amb la zona de . El folklore còrnic recorda a Blunderbore vivint a Ludgvan Lese (un senyoriu de ), on aterra als viatgers que van cap al nord de Saint Ives. Al conte Jack, l'assassí de gegants és el segon o tercer gegant (juntament amb el seu germà Rebecks) assassinat per l'heroi Jack. Sota la influència d'aquesta història, el nom «Blunderbore» és apropiat per altres gegants llegendaris; l'antic conte de fades Tom the Tinkeard, una variant del conte en còrnic local de , conté un relat similar de la batalla de l'heroi amb un gegant anomenat Blunderbore. De la mateixa manera, també s'anomena així l'ogre del conte Les mongetes màgiques. (ca)
  • Blunderbore (also recorded as Blunderboar, Thunderbore, Blunderbus, or Blunderbuss) is a giant of Cornish and English folklore. A number of folk and fairy tales include a giant named Blunderbore, most notably "Jack the Giant Killer". The stories usually associate him with the area of Penwith. Cornish folklore remembers Blunderbore as living in Ludgvan Lese (a manor in Ludgvan), where he terrorized travelers heading north to St Ives. In "Jack the Giant Killer" he is the second or third giant (along with his brother Rebecks) killed by the hero Jack. Under the influence of that story, the name "Blunderbore" is frequently appropriated by other legendary giants; the later fairy tale "Tom the Tinkeard", a local Cornish variant of "Tom Hickathrift", contains a similar account of the hero's battle with a giant named Blunderbore. Likewise, it is usually given as the name of the ogre in "Jack and the Beanstalk". (en)
