The sheep is a woolly grazing animal of the Rocky Highlands and the Woods. Tamed, it is a guard that draws enemies away from you; at home it gives wool.
Where it lives
The chance that a stretch of land has one, by land:
| Land | Chance |
|---|---|
| The Woods | 6 in 100 |
| The Rocky Highlands | 26 in 100 |
Animals never appear close to where the world began, or inside a village. Sheep graze in the open. They look up as you come near and trot off if you come closer.
Taming
Make a Sheep Treat on the TREATS tab of a crafting table in a Goddess's land, from 5 Grain, 5 Turnips or 5 any grass, each with 1 Egg. Carry it, walk up slowly, and give it the treat with E. One treat is enough. See Taming.
As a companion
The guard: enemies within about 10 tiles go for the sheep instead of you, its fleece takes 40% less damage, and it butts back, knocking enemies back. While it is badly hurt it stops drawing them.
Its numbers at level 1 and level 20, with STRENGTH 4, VITALITY 4 and WITS 5 and no traits, talents or gear:
| Ability | Level 1 | Level 20 |
|---|---|---|
| Butt | 0.9 damage | 3.75 damage |
| Butts every | 1.4 s | 1.4 s |
| Fleece | blows on it 40% softer | blows on it 40% softer |
| Health | 30 | 98 |
It has five talents of its own to learn (see Talents), and its own gear: the Bulwark (see Companion Gear).
At home
In your herd it butts away enemies that come into her land. It gives Wool: 2 to 3 each batch, a batch every 1 day (in the game), with up to 3 batches waiting. Happiness changes the wait: see The Herd.
Hunting
Killing one teaches you 14 Endurance experience (see Stats), always the same whatever your level.
When hunted
| Item | Amount | Used for |
|---|---|---|
 Wool | 2 | Woolen Cloth |
 Raw Meat | 1 | Any Fat, Lamp Oil, Fox Treat, Frog Treat, and more |
It lets go of 4 Earth and 2 Wind and 2 Water spirits.
