The Tale of Quabu: Cow Necromancer
« on: March 18, 2017, 09:44:33 pm »




sooo.... there is this. My resident Skeletal Dwarven God of Death, Disease, Blight, and Agriculture, received the worship of a cow....

I suddenly have a great suspicion of cows.

I think the bigger issue here is how the cow in question came to be named in the first place.  So far as I know, still the only way for this to occur is by striking down a number of lesser foes, or a few historical ones.  That cow has seen some *&%@ :o

Worshiping Satan is the very least of what is wrong with that picture.

What, the fact that the cow has military training? that it has written a book? that it know how to speak?

I actually wonder what the book is about....

The mod I do have doesnt even touch cows. I checked.

These are the same cows as vanilla.

Then I have no idea how that happened. I guess the cow learned to hold a mace in its mouth?

Don't forget the shield.  And since it got the 'obsessed with mortality' and was worshiping a Death god, it could have become a necromancer...that could then take on apprentices...

That cow is epic.  You should craft statues of it and place them all over your fort.

Does the mod include anything that can turn people into cows?

If a creature's species is changed it will be referred to as its new species.  My guess is that this cow was once a person and was transformed near the end of its life.

Is this caused by a mod? In such case, boring non-event, move on.

But there was an issue in vanilla with playable horses and possibly cows and at the time Toady said there will still a couple of edge cases around that are tough to find until they actually happen. I was hoping this was that.

Well, at least the god in question is also associated with agriculture...
