    Was there a skeleton king in Diablo? It's been so long...
    I only remember the Butcher. And I guess the end boss. Everything else
    just blends into another.

    I remember the cow level, or was the D2?

    Yes, there was a skeleton king, and there were cows, but the cow level was
    D2.

    Wasn't there a cow level in that 3rd party expansion that also had the
    monk as a class?


    You mean Hellfire. There was much silliness, but no cow level.

    The quest itself was a reaction to rumors/jokes about a 'secret cow
    level' in the original "Diablo". However, there were no actual cows involved.

    Indeed, there was much banter in alt.games.diablo about using Wirt's leg to destroy all the barrels on some level or other in order to open the way to
    the secret cow level. Much hilarity, no substance.
