	\|Introduction= Cows were one of the last animals to be domesticated, and one of the few animals not to have been domesticated by humans. When the dwarven hero [[Fegall]] rose to godhood and his followers formed the nation of [[Deglos]], the [[dwarf]] and [[gnome]] citizens were free to venture aboveground to the mountains above their home, unlike the dwarves of their northern neighbor [[Galdos]], whose cities are completely underground. One of the creatures they came across in their exploration of the mountains was the auroch, known in Common as the [[Dire_Ox\|dire ox]], one of the largest herbivores to ever exist on Negaria. These explorers decided to tame and domesticate the aurochs, and eventually formed a clan devoted to doing so. They captured and selectively bred the animals to make them smaller and more manageable, with the idea of eventually shifting them to a diet of mushrooms and moss and moving them underground. This plan was halted when [[rothe]] were discovered in the deep Underdark. Unfazed, Deglosian traders saw an opportunity, and began selling domesticated cows to the surface nations of the south, such as [[M'Chek]] and [[Ferrell]]. In Deglos cows are no longer kept, though [[Pack_Ox\|pack oxen]] are still used to pull caravans.		\|Introduction= Cows were one of the last animals to be domesticated, and one of the few animals not to have been domesticated by humans.

	\|Feeding_Habits= Cows are herbivores. They will chew a cud, and have four stomachs so that plants can be fully broken down and digested. They typically eat grasses, though domestic cows are sometimes fed hay, beans, corn, grains, silage, and even beer.		\|Feeding_Habits= Cows are herbivores.

	\|Disposition_Social_Habits= Cows form a herd, as their ancestors the aurochs do. Domesticated cows usually have a loose hierarchy that only becomes more pronounced when food is scarce. Dominance is usually determined by size, weight, and horn size.		\|Disposition_Social_Habits= Cows form a herd, as their ancestors the aurochs do.

|Introduction= Cows were one of the last animals to be domesticated, and one of the few animals not to have been domesticated by humans. When the dwarven hero [[Fegall]] rose to godhood and his followers formed the nation of [[Deglos]], the [[dwarf]] and [[gnome]] citizens were free to venture aboveground to the mountains above their home, unlike the dwarves of their northern neighbor [[Galdos]], whose cities are completely underground.

|Feeding_Habits= Cows are herbivores. They will chew a cud, and have four stomachs so that plants can be fully broken down and digested. They typically eat grasses, though domestic cows are sometimes fed hay, beans, corn, grains, silage, and even beer.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Cows form a herd, as their ancestors the aurochs do. Domesticated cows usually have a loose hierarchy that only becomes more pronounced when food is scarce. Dominance is usually determined by size, weight, and horn size.
|Habitat= It is thought that aurochs originated in the wet grasslands of northern [[Jechran]], and proliferated across Negaria from there. Similarly, cows are most often kept in grasslands or similar areas where they can graze, though they are better suited to drier climes than their ancestors.
|Other_Notes= Though cows were one of the last animals to be domesticated, they have been selectively bred for a long time into specific breeds for different tasks. Some breeds are designed for strong males than can be used as [[ox]]en to pull plows, and even more specialized breeds to carry packs for caravans. [[Dairy_Cow|Dairy cows]] have been bred to produce an abundant supply of milk for drinking or to make cheese and butter. [[Beef_Cow|Beef cows]] have been bred to be slaughtered for their meat and hide, which can be used to make leather. In some cases [[Calf|calves]] are slaughtered for their meat, known as veal.
