Cow

Cow is a domesticated animal, which you can find in or nearby towns. Rarely in the wild.

Behavior
The cow will remain passive even after hitting it and won't even try to run (or maybe it does try, but is extremely slow?).

Loot
Higher quality meat, fat, pelts and bones.

The highest quality are usually bones.

Gives three pieces of loot altogether.

With a melee weapon
Spot one and give it a good, hard smack a few times.

With a bow or a ranged weapon
Take your time, aim and drink a cup o' tea in the meantime. Shot it at your leisure.

With traps
No idea. ~JakobSirk (Help.)
