Appearance

Bovid: A cow. They come in many colors, but most are a typically Black and White. -1 Str, -2 Dex, +2 Sta, -1 App, -5 Man

Udder (crinos): This has to be one of the silliest sights one has ever seen. The typical Udder form Bovina is a 10 ft tall muscular Cow-man. They have huge Brown eyes on their giant cow heads. The horns lenghthen and curl inward. Two huge tusks protrude from the lower jaw in question mark shapes. This causes them to perpetually drool. In cows the udders stick out from the belly and the nipples become sharp spikes. In this form all non-Bovina characters (including supernaturals) must roll willpower (diff 6) or become immobilized with hysterical laughter. If they fail they will continue to laugh and will be unable to do anything but defend themselves for 10 rounds minus their willpower. +1 Str +1 Dex +5 Sta 0 App -5 Man.

Homid: Homid form Bovina generally dress as cow hands or dairy farmers. They favor dedicated leather clothing,overalls or dresses with yellow flowers on them.

The Bovina live in tight herds and aggressively dending themselves and their kin from any intruders.

Opinions

Bastet: We have met a few. As long as they leave us alone we do not mind their presence.

"They have to be one of the strangest and funniest peoples I have ever met. Very secretive though, do not cross them if you are not prepared to fight."

-- Catches-Fish-Fast, Pumonca

Other Bete: We don't want to know them and don't want them to know of us.

"You can't be serious? HOHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
