cause he looks like a cow
and "spherical cow in a vacuum" is an old physics meme used to represent something highly hypothetical (=too many assumptions used, like "assume that g=10, there is no wind, etc."; irl nothing of listed is true, and we assume it just to make the problem easier.
edit: also see this: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Space_Cow
and here comes more: "Barathrum's fun names are Roadrunner and Space-Cow, the latter of which is referenced by Earth Spirit's ally line: "Play You aren't half bad, for a space cow." The line about the spirit breaker being a "Space-Cow" Is likely a reference to Astral Trekker, one of the famously imbalanced DotA heroes, whose model was reworked into the original Spirit Breaker model"
Spirit breakers lore suggests that he's not from our world "Barathrum the Spirit Breaker is a lordly and powerful being, a fierce and elemental intelligence which chose to plane-shift into the world of matter to take part in events with repercussions in the elemental realm that is his home. To that end, he assembled a form that would serve him well, both in our world and out of it. His physical form borrows from the strengths of this world, blending features both bovine and simian—horns, hooves and hands—as outward emblems of his inner qualities of strength, speed and cunning. He wears a ring in his nose, as a reminder that he serves a hidden master, and that this world in which he works is but a shadow of the real one." hence, he's called space cow, because he's from world which is not ours and he took a cow form on himself. duh.
Also his ultimate is called "NETHER strike" and it's flavor text is "Barathrum temporarily returns to the realm from where he came, bringing with him the retribution of both worlds."
