A painted cow (The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim)

Shadowarm
No, the original was. This type of sacrifice to the giants and the dragons from the locals, so she embellished.

It's funny,I such did not meet,but how well it is painted suggests that this is not a bug

The sleeping tree camp,there met her

She had previously been. So smash the Giants. They have a bonfire, the same were such characters. There is the opinion that was painted by residents - a gift for the Giants.
For example, even in 2015 статьяhttp://imgur.com/gallery/gfkVO
She walks with a Giant, you can find

Shadowarm
Well, there can be a NPC to meet, which a cow will overtake and he'll tell you that that gift is, so no one will be angry...) And giants live-range cattle breeding of the mammoth and other gathering Here... and the locals apparently counter put...)
PS Well, about the dragons, I thought, as I think some of the dragon's den met the corpse of a cow...)

Shadowarm
It's not a bug, it's the same cow, only with patterns, these can be found near the giants or when you meet a man with the same cow, and if you ask him about it, he will tell you that the cow he leads to give the giants a sign of respect to them and so they do not touch the rest of the herd. Like so, precisely I do not remember.

I've seen similar. Current patterns were like the tusks of mammoths

This chance meeting. Something like events. Generated randomly when walking the world. Fallout 3 was the same. The old Orc, a painted cow, patrols, patrol of Stendarr / vampires / foreign players / brothers of the storm, the headless horseman, and so is also random encounters.

By the way, there is a chance that you will meet peacefully walking down the road giant with a cow.

I met in the beginning on the way a cow was led by a resident, said as a sacrifice to the giant give, and they do not attack.
