'''Cow form''' is a [[Death Effects and Diseases|curse]] bestowed by [[Maronesa]] in the [[Tutorial CaveCrystal Cavern]]. Since it’s a '''newbie curse''', it’s not too hard to lift. But not trivial! Removing the cow curse takes an hour or so of grinding, during which you unlock the various cow powers and see what it’s like as a cow. Having the cow-curse right there in the newbie experience ([[Tutorial Cave]]) also teaches players another important thing about the game: there are lots of ways to play. Being a cow is a difficult journey, but if you wanted to, you could eventually become a moderately competent fighter-cow. You won’t be able to wield weapons, but you’ll be able to use abilities like [[Mentalism]] and [[Combat Psychology]], along with a barrage of kicks and moos.<ref name="moo">http://www.eldergame.com/2012/04/cows/</ref>
