Woolly Sheep

You don't know what fluffy is until you hug that sheep.

— Ashe Ash, Farmer

Overview

There exists an animal whose wool is so fluffy, the string made from it so fine, that the clothes produced from the wool are the softest and fluffiest one can buy. It is no wonder that these sheep are highly prized and that the commodity produced from them are highly prized. Unfortunately for many, the Woolly Sheep is rare, existing only on the continental island of Dämmerung, in the Quiet Valley.

Fluffiness

Few creatures can claim to have the fluffiness of a woolly sheep. When one attempts to describe it to another they are rarely believed. It is said that hugging one of these creatures is like falling into a cloud. Farmers who take care of the creatures say that they find it a challenge to not to stop and fall asleep when handling the wool.

Are they Really that Fluffy?

Yes. Yes they are.

Cuteness

Many who see the sheep in person always wants to hug one, and many go through with this desire.

Noisy

Woolly sheep are quite noisy. This is especially true when many of them congregate in something that looks like a meeting, as strange as that sounds. Their baas can be heard several leagues away, depending on how loud they decide to be. This makes protecting them quite the challenge as many predators use these sounds to locate them. Therefore, woolly sheep farmers will hire protection for their lands. This protection can be guards, rangers, or any other person with combat training and experience.

Basic Information

Dietary Needs and Habits

Woolly Sheep are not particularly picky about what they eat. In fact, the kind of food they eat can affect the quality of their wool. If they eat grass, the wool is likely to be white in color and quite soft. If they eat fruit their wool can start to take on the color of the fruit they eat. If they eat honey, then their wool starts to take on a velvety texture and a gold-ish color. For the best quality of wool they are fed a certain mixture of grasses. The exact quantities used in a mixture is a secret to each farmer, which means that not all wool from this sheep is exactly alike.
