An effort by fringe geneticists to create dairy production on worlds unable to accomodate large herd animals. Human women were given gene splices of bovine dna increasing their milk production, even while not nursing infants.
However a unforeseen side effect was that children born to these women would sometimes inherit a recessive gene that manifested during puberty, producing a new hucow, one that demonstrated more bovine aspects that originally planned, such as tails, horns, and ears, as well as a lower than average intelligence. Any children born to these second generation hucows would inherit their mothers dna traits, thus a new species was created. Lacking a proper homeworld of their own, they are often enslaved and used for their obvious assets as well as simple tasks as they as their endurance can make up for lack of skill. First generation hucow serum can still be found for fetishest and the desperate.
Her birth name forgotten "Bessy" was taken in a raid a few years before Ymir's demise, and though slow in most areas, displayed a skill at cooking that was nurtured to the point the slave became the ships cook for all important personel aboard.
