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.

Cows are able to collect '''grass''' and heal themselves with it — which turns out to be a cheap, potent self-healing mechanism.
Being a cow means you look harmless to other animals, so deer and similar animals don’t run away from you.
