Mad cows are an easter egg that's been in game for some years. They always come as a surprise to me as you don't usually come across them very often.

All your characters or one particular one? Could be a bugged character. I have a character that cannot be attacked by daemons. No one's every been able to figure out why.

It has happened to 2 of my chars so far where a cow started attacking out of no where, which i think is quite funny anyhow and it has also happened to my wife on 1 of her chars on a different account, but oh well now i know y it is happening.

Name: Sir Kill Alot
Nemiss: Cows

Once long ago a council of bovine elders did meet and uttered these fateful moos'...

Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
Cows aren't fun

They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be et at the hamburger fry
Cows well done

Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
Cows are one

He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
Cow Tse Tongue

He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd
Cow doldrums

He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high
Bad cow pun

But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate
Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate
Cows are bummed

He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
No one suspected he was packing an Uzi
Cows with guns

They came with a needle to stick in his thigh
He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye
Cow well hung

Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door
Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor
Run cows run!

He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay
We are free roving bovines, we run free today

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

They crashed the gate in a great stampede
Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed
Cows have fun

Sixty police cars were piled in a heap
Covered in cow pies, covered up deep
Much cow dung

Black smoke rising, darkening the day
Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

The President said "enough is enough

These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
Cow dung flung

The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
Cows on buns

The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
They mooed their last moos,
they chewed their last hay
Cows out gunned

The order was given to turn cows to whoppers
Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers

Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

(Song: Cows with Guns" by Dana Lyons - Yes it is a real song, google it.)

Are you wearing a shroud of corruption? Those things draw attacks on you from everything for a good distance around.

I was thinking of the exact song when I came to your post. I have it on my ipod; it's good for a laugh when I need it. :lol:

From what I've been told, that can happen to you if you have ever worn a Cloak of Corruption for any significant length of time.

Sometimes they attack you; sometimes they follow you.

Am I the only one who remembers that this is an 'easter egg', like cow tipping? No blackrock, no area effects, no cloak of corruption. Just sometimes an aggresive 'mad' cow spawns which will attack.

No, I remember posting about being attacked by a cow a long time ago, long before Cloaks of corruption were even in the game.

The answer I got then was that it was an Easter Egg in the game and it was just a random thing.

No, others clearly remember it too, and have also posted about it in this thread. You however were first.

The fact that this has happened to the poster multiple times, however, appears to more or less cancel out its being a rare Easter Egg. I guess it's mathematically possible that a rare Easter Egg, which I for one have never actually seen a single time, has happened to him multiple times. However some of us are tossing other things out there just in case.

I remember the Mad Cows...way fun.

I ran into a pretty ticked off cow the other day. Not Mad...just really upset.

We talked for a while. Not sure if it helped...but it's just a game!

Maybe they are Faction Cows and you are in an opposing Faction?

;)

IRL I got chased by a cow once when I was on my motorcycle. Fun days.
