[[ | The '''Kau''' (a [[wikipedia:homophone|homophone]] for ''cow'') is a [[wikipedia:cow|cow]]-like [[Neopet]]. They roam [[Neopia]] in herds looking for pastures to play in and [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=8&id=45 graze]. Kaus have [[wikipedia:cloven hooves|cloven hooves]] and [[wikipedia:horns|horns]], but don't appear to have [[wikipedia:udders|udders]]. | ||
Kaus seem to have a penchant for magic - [[Kalandra]] and the [[Kau Fortune Teller]] both use crystal balls to predict the future, and [[Kauvara]] is Neopia's foremost potion maker. They also love to sing - although they only know one note, [http://www.neopets.com/petinfo.phtml?type=Kau "Moo!"]. | |||
While Kaus can eat many foods, if they eat any ''milk'' item, like ''Kau Kau Farm Milk'', their hit points are fully restored. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of earth. | |||
