I miss the little old dog-cow hybrid. Is he hidden somewhere?

According to Spotlight, no. Dictionary gave no results either.

She's called Clarus, not Moof.

Despite the fact that Clarus' name is a pun on Claris, she has nothing to do with ClarisWorks (or any other Claris product) per se. Yes, Clarus is female; she's a dogcow, after all.

My guess is that they didn't want to include anything that didn't have 1337 antialiasing, but knew better than to try and antialias a dogcow; the backlash would have been impressive. Nevertheless, there's hope. The current release is Tiger-only, but I'm trying to track down the older releases. Even if you don't have Tiger, their page links to some interesting information on dogcattle.

Yes per your reference...."Mr Harlan says, "The name was intentionally poking fun at Claris, Apple's new software spin-off, because I had just had a small conflict with several of their employees and wanted to poke fun at them.""

I wore a dogcow tshirt to middle school one day. I was teased ruthlessly. I only wore it at home after that.
