8 Secret Video Game Enemies You Must Find

8. The Cow King - Diablo II

With the drama surrounding Blizzcon's exclusion of Diablo 4 in full swing, it seems fair to throw our minds back to a happier time, when Blizzard celebrated its fanbase with one of its strangest - and by extension most brilliant - additions to the Diablo lore. The Cow King came as an answer to repeated rumours of such a boss existing in the first Diablo game, conjured up in response to the dialogue that happened when interacting with your average cow friends: "Yup! That's a cow alright." Seems innocuous enough, right?

Well yes, right. The cows in the first Diablo were exactly that. In Diablo 2 however, a secret cow level has been put in place where the player can actually get toe-to-hoof with the bovine baddie himself, a bipedal cow man with a giant spear that summons a whole herd of similar farmyard friends for you to defeat. All it takes is defeating the game, heading back to the first area, and opening up a portal to the dimension of cow.

Blizzard have repeatedly made fun of the cow rumours in plenty of their releases, even using 'There Is No Cow Level' as a cheat code in Starcraft. Question everything, folks, you might just get the king of hell bovine as a reward.
