Sheep

From WoWWiki

Sheep are woolly critters similar to a goat, but smaller than a cow. They are commonly found wandering in pastoral areas of Elwynn Forest, Loch Modan, the Redridge Mountains, and the Hillsbrad Foothills. Not all sheep are what they seem.

Sheep are docile herbivores. Both black and white varieties exist, and they are prized for their wool. Some mages are infamous for polymorphing their opponents into sheep. Sheep flee rather than attack. Rumors of them exploding spontaneously are unsubstantiated. ^{MGWS 18}

The male sheep are called rams and are categorized as beasts.

Additional notes:

• Killing and skinning some sheep will yield Wool Cloth.
• Engineers are capable of making mechanical Explosive Sheep.

Sheep is sometimes used as a verb meaning "to transform into a sheep (via the Polymorph spell)".

In Warcraft III, if a flying unit was polymorphed in lands where sheep were common, they became flying sheep. Likewise, if a waterborne creatur is polymorphed the unit becomes an aquatic sheep.
