Cow
Cow is the name of various species of animals that appear frequently during the Raving Rabbids series and are present both in Rayman's world and on Earth. Even if the cows of the two worlds are a bit far and can't interact, they appear to share similar psychological traits. Even if they look sightly different in appearance cows from both worlds are timid and calm animals and can produce milk.

Appearance
Cows in Rayman's world are sightly different from the real world cows. They have a round body, horns, small dots as eyes and an exaggerated mouth with four big teeth. Cows appear to be timid animals and some are used by Rabbids for fun, like in the minigame Bunnies Don't Know What To Do With Cows. Every cow that appears in the series has a black and white spotted body making it unclear if this is the only species of cow in Rayman's world.
Rayman Raving Rabbids
The cows make their first appearance in Rayman Raving Rabbids. A cow called Daisy can be seen in the minigame Bunnies Don't Know What To Do With Cows where Rayman has to launch it as far as he can. Some other cows appeared during the minigames Bunnies Don't Milk Cows Part 1 and Part 2 where the player has just to milk them. They appear also in Bunnies Can Only Fly Downwards as obstacles. Cows are resent in Bunnies Can't Slide Part 1 as background characters and in Bunnies Can't Slide Part 2 as obstacles. In these last two minigames some cows are frozen inside the lake that serves as game field for the players. In the minigame Bunnies Can't Herd they are part of the challenge along with pigs and sheep. A cow's statues makes a cameo appearance in the Bunny Hunt minigame Bunnies Never Rest In Peace. If the player successfully completes every challenge in the game he will receive a prize called Gold Cow Trophy.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Even if the events of Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 are set in the Earth the species of cows present is the Rayman's world species. They appear in the minigames Bike Race, Shopping Cart Downhill and Big City Fight. A toy-cow also appears in the minigame Rodeo. In the Plaza a cow can be seen running away from some Rabbids. It is unclear why cows from Rayman's world appear in the Earth. They may have introduced secretly in the Rabbids submarines, or Rabbids may have taken some cows with them for their invasion plan, or it could just be a goof.
Rabbids Go Home
Even if cows from Rayman's world don't make a physical appearance in Rabbids Go Home there are some toys that represent them in the last part of Wack A Wabbid. The player can't pick up these objects or interact with them in any way.
Rayman Kart
Some cows of this type are seen once again in Rayman Kart in the level Dreamy Forest as background characters. The player can interact with them.
