Peesh - Sheep Analog

These adorable little critters shown above are called peesh.

They’re very similar to sheep, but rather than 80% sheep 20% wool, it’s a solid 50/50. Their wool is extremely soft and rather plush, used mostly for fabrics, but some farmers pad their pillows with extra wool and it makes for quite a luxurious sleep. The wool in question grows incredibly fast and often makes the peesh appear as land-born clouds floating along the pastures. Truth be told, they are not actually floating, as they don’t have that strong a capacity with congruence, but their wool often grows over their legs, so the floating action is a trick of the eye: What looks like effortless floating to us is simply a peesh running their stubby little legs around, most likely in search of something to eat. These creatures love to graze, and many folks have one in their possession to keep their lawns maintained. Extra accommodations are not often needed for the peesh, just a pasture to sleep in and grass to eat. They would be the perfect pet if they weren’t easily distracted and ruled by their stomachs. Young peesh have been known to wander outside of their homes to other pastures if there is grass to be eaten within eyesight. It isn’t as much of a problem with older peesh, as they seem to create a bond with those that house them if the effort to bond with them is made in turn, but a good bout of fencing will do the trick if you come into possession of a young peesh and need to keep them around.

Due to their capacity to move despite the growing wool, a peesh is capable of living in just about any climate. If the wool is regularly sheared, it can withstand warmer climates. If the wool is well maintained and allowed to grow, the peesh can happily go about its puffy life. I’m sure the Lonely Fjords Fjords would be a lot less lonely with a few of these little landborn clouds wandering about.

Since they’re easily satisfied and non-aggressive, many farmers in Caliharah will use the peesh as a starter-pet for their children. After all, if they can keep the little rascal from running off for more food and create a bond with them in the process, they’re sure to have a life-long friend that pulls their weight as far as grounds-work is concerned.
