Plague cows are cows infected by a plague that recently beset the desert city of Sophanem. They are one of the many victims of the plagues sent upon the city.

A number of plagues were sent upon on Sophanem, including swarms of locust and a disease that causes the victim to develop spots on their face. The cows too have become diseased, although with a different illness. The infected cows have taken on a sickly green colour, and their milk and beef can no longer be safely consumed. As a result, players do not have the ability to milk or kill them, but can still pet them for some dialogue, which will cause the cow to make a pathetic attempt to moo.

During Beneath Cursed Sands it is revealed, that the Sect of Scabaras, under the control of Amascut, were responsible for bringing the plagues to Sophanem. The Sophanites were forced to put the plague cows down, and after the quests they can no longer be found in the city.

• The first and third variants of plague cows had a festive override wearing a santa hat and clown nose during the 2016 Christmas event.
