Found only in the Secret Cow Level, the hell bovines are fierce melee battlers. Though slow of hoof, these mutated milk-givers swarm in huge mobs and slash viciously with their massive halberds, felling any heroes foolish enough to linger within range.
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...
These "mad cows" were one of the most popular types of monsters for the duration of the v1.09 patch, since they spawned in large numbers, possessed few resistances, moved slowly, and were worth a great deal of experience. In v1.10 they were made much less valuable, both as a source of experience and treasure, and have consequently lost much of their value to players, though their level is still a fun one to complete, with various characters.
