You're fighting a pyroboveThis is a cow skull floatin' in a cloud of flame. It's about to take its sharpened horns and learn to gore. You.
RE: Missing: Many Children
The howling chaos of Cowtown briefly coalesces into a cloud of flames with a cow skull floating in it.
RE: Missing:Pioneer Daughter
Inside the bloodstained and charred wooden walls of Daisy's fortress, you encounter a pyrobove -- a cow skull, floating in a cloud of flame. I guess this explains the state of the region around her old homestead. She's really playing with fire. Literally.
RE: Wagon Train Escort Wanted
You've never really heard a satisfactory explanation of what actually happened with all the cows. But you do know an awful lot of people were surprised when the decorative cow skulls they had hanging on their walls suddenly burst into flames and started flying around and biting people.
Hit Message(s):
The pyrobove gores you with its horns, but it's not very gory because the wound is cauterized. Eek! Oof! Ugh!
The pyrobove lights your head on fire. Hey, look! You're twins! Ouch! Argh! Oof!
The pyrobove slams into you. You wouldn't think a hovering cow skull would have much force behind it, but it feels like the same amount of mass it had when it was alive. Ugh! Ow! Ow!
The pyrobove gores you, bites you, and sets you on fire. This is known in the West as "The Trifecta". (CRITICAL HIT!) Ooh! Ouch! Ooh!
The pyrobove tries to butt you in the butt, but cracks up at the idea and the two of you share a good laugh.
The pyrobove tries to light your head on fire, but your head is too damp for some reason.
The pyrobove tries to stab you with its horns, but you hold up a hand and tell it resolutely that you refuse, and it respects your decision.
You ask the pyrobove if it ever played the video game "Doom", and it tells you to shut up. (FUMBLE!)
