Dire sheep

Dire sheep are somewhat more physically threatening than other types of sheep, and far more hostile. Each sheep has a 1/20 chance of dropping a woolen piece of cloth when killed.

Strategy

Sheep are generally trivial to tame, but their attacks and base level are usually too weak to be worth it. Additionally, they are herbivorous and somewhat more difficult to keep fed than most pets.
