Moo time for the Marines
Blizzard, renowned for their April Fools antics, recently announced that Warcraft's favorite cow like race, the Tauren, would be added to their upcoming sequel to Starcraft, Starcraft II. The funny thing is, is that the in-game models look actually realistic. Another fantastic prank by Blizzard.
While most tauren were satisfied with their agrarian culture and primitive existence, the Confederacy was able to lure away large numbers of young bulls for a life of adventure and violence along the galactic rim. Other tauren referred to these adventurers as 'mad cows,' and they were ostracized from the rest of their kine. The newly created tauren marines didn't care--they got neat-looking armor and big guns to own everyone else with. These beefy new soldiers are now an integral part of the Confederate military, and have managed to horn in on the roles traditionally filled by firebats and other infantry units.
