Undead cows can be found west of Port Phasmatys in Morytania near the Farming allotment. As their name suggests, they are undead, so a salve amulet or a salve amulet (e) is effective to deal more melee damage. They can be killed for both cow and zombie slayer tasks. They respawn relatively quickly, so killing them may be an efficient way to complete unwanted slayer tasks. They are sometimes killed for their bones for the Ectofuntus, most commonly during Ghosts Ahoy and Animal Magnetism.

Trivia

  • Using an item on an Undead cow prompts no message at all as opposed to "The cow doesn't want that." on normal cows or the usual "Nothing interesting happens."
  • Using a bucket on an undead cow will inform the player that the cow cannot be milked due to its missing udders.
