Accurate Bovine Graphics
This mod updates the look of cows, yaks, and water buffalo, in addition to giving them layered graphic support for all of their fur colors!
In addition, cows now have separate spots descriptors on their bodies, which can also be the same range of colors as their main hair color. Cow’s fur and spots are weighted in favor of being different shades of brown, white, and black. Though more ‘exotic’ colors like gold and yellow are still possible!
This is part of an expanding series of expanded animal graphic mods. If you would like to see the other mods in this series:

The SDL2 update for Dwarf Fortress seems to have introduced some weird bugs in regards to layered creatures (animals specifically, not entities). Effects of this include:
- Any animal child with layered graphics, upon growing up, will not have it’s sprite updated until the save file is reloaded.
- Animated sprites for the creature will not display, instead just using the normal sprite.
These bugs can be seen in vanilla with any wagon pullers, and unfortunately extend to animals in this mod series. Nothing that can be done except hope the bug is fixed in the game itself.
Credit to ryno for the lovely sprites, and mcnuggy for the coding.
