The Kau (a homophone for cow) is a cow-like Neopet. They roam Neopia in herds looking for pastures to play in and graze. Kaus have cloven hooves and horns, but don't appear to have udders.

Kaus seem to have a penchant for magic - Kalandra and the Kau Fortune Teller both use crystal balls to predict the future, and Kauvara is Neopia's foremost potion maker. They also love to sing - although they only know one note, "Moo!".

While Kaus can eat many foods, if they eat any milk item, like Kau Kau Farm Milk, their hit points are fully restored. In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of earth.

Old designs

The Kau was first introduced at the site's founding as the Macy Gray, based on the singer of the same name but armed with a ray gun and with her name hyphenated. It was replaced with the bovine-like Kau on 26 July 2000 "for legal reasons".
