Cowra [1] is one of Yapool's many Terrible-Monster from Ultraman Ace. He appeared in episode 16. A Terrible-Monster that came into existence after Yapool cursed a human into transforming into the bovine beast, Ace was able to successfully reverse the transformation. Despite Cowra effectively ceasing to exist, Yapool was later able to utilise the monster's soul in the creation of Jumbo King.

History
Ultraman Ace
Originally Takai, a man whom picked a nose ring and wear it, he was cursed by a man in purple to become Cattle God. Later, he realized that he was slowly turning into a half man, half-cow creature, and went back the the Nose Ring Hill where he stole the nose ring earlier and asked for forgiveness. This was to no avail as the mysterious man in purple turned him into Cowra and ordered it to feed on humans. The next day, villagers made a prayer to stop Cowra's reign of terror but the mysterious man disrupted it and sets Cowra on rampage again. Hokuto and Minami transformed into Ultraman Ace and battled the Terrible-Monster. Yoshimura noticed the nose ring at Cowra's right hand and ordered Ace to remove it. He does so by kicking it out, then materialised a nose ring on Cowra's nose before he throw the Terrible-Monster as it turn back into Takai. The man thanked TAC and Yoshimura as he resumed his normal life as a farmer. Summer Horror Series: Scary Story of the Cattle God-Man
In the finale of Ultraman Ace, Cowra along Unitang, Mazaronian, and Mazarius returned as ghosts and were combined into the strongest, final Terrible-Monster Jumbo King by Yapool. You Are the Ace of Tomorrow!
Trivia
- Designer: Yoshio Suzuki
- Most of Cowra's roars are cattle bellowing sounds that were previously used for Oxter, these would be mixed with Mummy Man's roars for Needlar in Zone Fighter. Near the end of his fight with Ace, Cowra's sounds are reused Godzilla's growls. These latter roars are in turn reused from Manda.
- The Cattle God resembles the Minotaur, a Greek mythological creature.
- Cowra is the first Terrible-Monster whose life is voluntarily spared by Ace.
- Given that Cowra was reverted back into Takai by Ace, it is never explained how Yapool managed to use Cowra to create Jumbo King. It is possible that Yapool simply created a second Cowra to use in his chimera creation.
- In the Ultraman Ace Kaiju Guide, Cowra's picture is actually Jumbo King.
