Diablo Two

The Cow King as he appears in *Diablo Ii*

In Diablo 2, the Cow King is the Super Unique boss of The Secret Cow Level. It looks just like any other Hell Bovine: there aren't any visual clues to identify it, except highlighting. Notwithstanding, the Moo-cow King always spawns inside the fenced enclosure located in the hugger-mugger cow level, then players who wish to avoid killing him tin simply avoid the enclosure altogether.

The Cow King, besides every bit other Hell Bovines, has a take a chance to drib "Cow Male monarch's Leathers".

One time he is killed, the portal to the Secret Cow Level cannot exist opened over again in the same difficulty. So, that makes the Cow King's Leathers the hardest fix to complete in one game because at that place are iii set pieces and the histrion gets but three chances to kill the King - ane in each Difficulty. This results in a popular tactic among those that wish to run the level to avert slaying him at all costs. Deliberately killing The Cow King while in a political party is often considered a major criminal offense.

In a limited time anniversary level, the ghost of the Cow King introduces the "Tipping Point" event and the unique boss, The Cow Queen tin can be encountered.
