MAD COW Huge Animal Hit Dice: 7d8+28 (62 HP) Initiative: +1 Speed: 40 ft (8sq) AC: 17 (-1 size, +7 natural armor, +1 dex), touch 10, flatfooted 16 Base Atk/Grapple;: +5/+15 Atk: Slam +13 (1d8+9) or Bite +13 (2d6+9) Full Atk: Slame +13 (1d8+9) and Bite +13 (2d6+9) Space/Reach: 15ft/10ft Special atks: Stampede (Reflex DC 21, 1d12 per 3 mad cows) Special qualities: low-light vision, scent, tremorsense Saves: Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +1 Abilities: Str 26, Dex 12, Con 18, Int 4, Wis 11, Cha 4 Skills: Listen +7, Spot +5 Feats: Alertness, Endurance CR: 5 These cows are obviously out of the ordinary. They're larger than the average cow, and there's a tiny light of madness in their eyes. They're not mooing, either, but slowly chewing their cud and regarding you intensely. They're larger than a buffalo and weigh roughly 2 tons. Their shoulders and hips have bony protrusions. Tiny little bone spikes dot the bridge of their snouts and line their brows.

There isn't one in any core material, but there is one from a third party publisher. Mongoose possibly? Technically, I could increase more of its stats since a dire animal is only described as being more powerful and fierce than its normal counterpart. In any case, I have since added the fiendish template to the Mad Cow for storyline reasons. Nastiest cow you have ever seen!
