Hell Bovines are Animals.
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...
Hell Bovines are found only in the Secret Cow Level, an Easter Egg location that can only be reached by converting (via the Horadric Cube) a town portal tome + Wirt's Leg, while standing in the Rogue Encampment, after receiving quest credit for killing Baal (LoD) or Diablo (Classic) on that difficulty level. A character retaining the ability to open the red portal to the Secret Cow Level is dependent upon not receiving credit for killing the Cow King. See the Secret Cow Level page for full details on that issue, and background info about the cow level itself.
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.The cow level was the most popular place to level up in v1.09, due to the huge numbers of cows and the fact that their slow speed, low resistances, and clumping behavior made them very easy to kill in bunches. The experience and item gains possible in the level were nerfed in v1.10, and the level returned to its intended purpose as a novelty and a treat, but not a place to endlessly exploit for massive experience gain.
- All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Hell Bovine | Act 1: The Secret Cow Level |

One of the levels sends Tauren (Bull-like creatures that walk upright) that are also called Hell Bovine.
