Why does the Cow King have udders in D2R?

Come on.

Cow KING.

That’s a good point :smiley:

Cant say I ever looked though tbh

Because otherwise the stamina potions would have to come from bull … juice.

You emphasized that it’s a “King” but not that it’s a COW, not a bull. They just took the male title because they could. As far as how they could reproduce without any bulls… we’ve all seen Jurassic Park :smiley:

Why not? Apparently in today’s society you can claim to be anything. But then claiming you are anything doesn’t always mean you truly be what you claim you are.

Women could be King. In fact there are an old series of fantasy books about Xanth, A Florida shaped mystical land where it would only be ruled by Kings. So… If a female ended up as a ruler, they simply became King. The rule was never broken as it didn’t specify gender.

So I’m totally on board with a Cow being King. No problem. Never really was one in fact. lol

Cow King says, Moo, Cow King have Udders.

Maybe the Cow King has some of those aluminum truck nuts tied to her tail :smiley:

The udders is where the assassin claw rune words are held. Kill the king and have access to hidden rune words

Because is trans. the game is inclusive (?)

Wouldn’t a woman become queen rather than king?

i know this has absolutely nothing to do with it but its by far the best answer and thats what I’m supporting for now on. XD
i hereby declare this the new lore.

he’s trans, dont bodyshame him.

shame on you all

She can be whatever she wants finger snaps

He could also be a mutant and have a bunch of erm appendages. I mean he’s the only guy right and that’s a whole lot of cows for just one dude.

Come to think of it he does walk on his hind legs I’m going to go with mutant rather than trans.

lol oh no you didnt

Because its a transgender cow!

The theme was discussed and explained why they have in another thread.

Do you want something else to hang down there instead of an udder?

Not only is it a transgender cow but now Blizzard has made it so that killing the cow king now longer locks you out of making additional cow portals.

Aka… Blizzard is incentivizing the killing of transgenders? @_@

Come on Blizzard, as if you wernt already in enough hot water atm. Shesh.

Diablo II secretly became the first LGTBI videogame, without anyone noticing until decades later.

Another reason D2 was best game ever, very advanced to its time.

Woke thing I suppose

The Cow King always had an udder. That is why D2R is made the same way. It has been remarked on over the years many many times. So, either 20+ years ago the Devs were ahead of the times, or it was just a funny little oddity in Diablo 2.

The Cow King has a male voice (and title), and is overall regarded as a male. However, it has an udder and has been stated to produce milk.[1]. To add even more confusion about the Cow King’s gender, two different creatures named The Cow Princess and The Cow Queen can be encountered in Diablo III, and neither of them is the Cow King (as his ghost can still be seen in the same level). The gender of these two creatures is unknown, as they never speak, and no other in-game characters speak of them, neither as ‘him’ nor as ‘her’.

You would have to ask the original Devs why the Cow King has an udder.

I am still looking and yeah, references to this go way back…

When the King dies for a credited kill to a character, he drops a random array of magical/set/unique items (usually five total) as well as a spray of stamina potions, in an homage to the milk he (she?) would produce were it not a mutated, sexually-ambiguous Hell Bovine.

Moomoooomoo
