Hell Bovine

From Diablo Wiki

Hell Bovines are bipedal cattle with polearms. Needless to say, they are animals. A Super Unique Hell Bovine is the Cow King.

Hell Bovines are only found in the Secret Cow Level, accessible only after finishing the game on that difficulty and transmuting together a Tome of Town Portal and Wirt's Leg in the Horadric Cube, inside the Rogue Encampment.

Hell Bovines are burdened with ridiculous vocalizations and slow foot speed, but they hit quite hard, and mass in huge herds, making them potentially dangerous to melee characters or ranged attackers who are not careful to maintain their distance.

[edit] Lore

Given sentience by Diablo and driven mad by the incessant prodding they suffered at the hands of the heroes that swarmed to Tristram, these hell-spawned bovines seek to destroy those who abused them when they were docile and defenseless. Armed with vicious halberds, they lie in wait just on the other side of a secret portal that is opened with the "help" of their first victim...
