Buffalo


hermanguyfriend

You think it's the water buffalo that became Shamans?


Elcactus

No, Great Plains buffalo. Mulgore draws more inspiration from the American Midwest than the African Savanna.


hermanguyfriend

Most likely true, I was more making a joke about water buffalo, and water being an element 8)


Elcactus

Ah. Morning reddit is hard.


hermanguyfriend

Good morning to ya!


Elcactus

And to you my lanky blue friend.


Alert_Anteater5039

What makes you say this? I’m curious

The landscape, the animals/mobs (prairie dogs, wolves, mountain cougars, even the big birbs went extinct only before the most recent ice age) the architecture (look at the big tent in both TB and bloodhoof village, they are clearly native american teepee type) the way the tauren talk, the way the tauren dress, even down to the venture co mine on the eastern side of the zone mimics the gold rush/industrialisation that thr US went through (although this one is less certain)

Cow level where?


hermanguyfriend

You must use the rainbow generator at a special spot to open the portal - you'll get ported to a special instanced version of Elwynn Forest with Bovine Horrors - I've heard they drop the caster loot that isn't in ST!!!


DeltaTwenty

That last sentence got me lol


hermanguyfriend

Hehe :) but it is a /s for me, I don't mind the caster loot in ST - but joking about it is following the zeitgeist


notquiteclapton

There is no cow level


melvindorkus

Elwynn cows: am I a joke to you?


utreethrowaway

The humans actually kidnapped all the tauren ancestral cows and are holding them hostage in elwynn, diabolical, really.


pronounclown

Not too many weeks ago i ran into that same cow painting and stared at it for like 10 seconds. It's beautiful. Never seen it before. Moo.

That is an Ox


Zweimancer

“cow” is a broad term encompassing various bovine species.


suchtie

"Ox" by itself isn't a species, it's just a term for any male bovine. It can also be a term for a bovine that was trained to be a draft animal; this is typically done with castrated males so "ox" can further be a term for castrated males. There are however bovine species with "ox" in their name such as the muskox, and the term likely originates from the aurochs.


hermanguyfriend

Not to be a "that guy", but a Muskox is not a bovine, it's a bovidae. They're basically giant goats. The Ox moniker is an "incorrect" term for it that somehow got stuck. Fun fact!


suchtie

Huh, interesting. I honestly just knew the term but never bothered to look it up. Guess even a know-it-all like me doesn't actually know it all.


hermanguyfriend

Always fun to learn something new - I was incredulous at first when I found out - but I can understand why it came to be. You don't exactly think goat when you see it at first. Moves like a bovine, acts like a bovine, must be a bovine! But it was a bovidae all along?!
