'''Sheep''' are a [[domestic]] animal added in [[SLASH'EM]] and ported to [[dNetHack]]. They are also always generated peaceful, making it trivial to tame them, but their attacks are weak and base level is low so this is rarely worth it.  Additionally they are [[herbivorous]], and thus somewhat more difficult to keep fed than most pets.  They are often found in [[Sokoban]]; be careful they don't get stuck between a boulder and a hole.  Since they are always peaceful, they are easy to overlook.
 
 
In a somewhat amusing image, you can [[saddle]] your sheep and [[riding|ride]] it if you really want to.
