Cache Cow

Cache Cows are a type of cache creature in the Dataverse.

Lore
Cache Cows are often kept as livestock, turning unusable cache data into usable data in the form of honey-like milk that is stored in a large sac on their backs. Cache Cows come in both cow and bull varieties, but unlike real-world mammals, both produce milk, and both can be considered "mothers" if they happen to have a calf. Typically Cache Cows develop into the cow form, however, if a Cache Cow decides to use some of the cache it converts for developing its own body rather than developing its sac, it will develop into a bull. The number of bulls in a Cache Cow herd varies depending on the herd size, with the number usually not exceeding 1 to 2 bulls.

Unlike the adults, Cache Cow calves do not have the milk sacs on their backs, and must get milk from their mothers' sac. Cache Cow calves are more agile and clingy than the adults, allowing them to obtain the milk with ease.

Clearing bad/old cache data essentially slaughters a Cache Cow. Cache Cow milk and meat are used in creating some Data Foods.

More Facts

 * Cache Cow is a pun on cash cow, a term for a business decision or product that obtains a steady wave of money much more than the money needed to execute said decision/produce product, or a dairy cow, and cache, data stored elsewhere for quick access.
 * Cache Cows are the first livestock animal ever designed for Databrawl.
 * A "tip" in older versions of Databrawl questions where the dairy products and meat products used in Data Food come from, suggesting the existence of data animals. Years later, and the concept became canon in the form of cache creatures.
