A very violent species of penguin-eating sheep, the Shprogshel (also called "Killer Wool", "Doom Flock", and "Cotton Chaser") spend most of their time hunting down and devouring penguins whole. They are native to the island of Baa, but also have been found in the forests of Antartica. When found, they are removed to Baa. No doubt some over-ethusiastic biologists tried to keep them as pets, but were ripped to shreds when they escaped. They breed like rabbits and a program has been set up to exterminate them. So far, they could only fence them all onto the island.
Several penguins are now attempting to render the Shprogshel harmless by de-fanging them, or yanking out their teeth. They call this Operation S.H.E.E.P.
Appearance[edit]
They are rather like small horses, but are coated in thick, blood red wool. Their faces and legs are jet black, and free of wool. They have large, yellow eyes, and their mouths are filled with massive, bone crushing teeth. Two of these are very long fangs, and actually surpass the animal's bottom lip. They often foam at the mouth slightly. They move around in flocks, cooperating to take down prey.
If you see an animal of this discription, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. They are incredibly hostile. Do not play dead. Do not attempt to fight. Do not stand your ground. Just run. Should you escape, phone the authorities ASAP.
Trivia[edit]
- Shprogshels have powerful legs. They can run at a speed of 40 km/h and jump 3 metres into the air.
- The wool of a Shprogshel is so thick, that it would take a spear to penetrate it. This allows the Shprogshel to survive the frigid Antarctic climate.
- The wool makes very warm and strong clothes (if you can get your hands on it). Astronauts have been known to wear spacesuits partially made from Shprogshel fleece.
- Shprogshels are edible! It is not uncommon to see these creatures, deemed a delicacy (and very expensive), on the tables of various monarchs and rich creatures. It is said that they taste like lobster, with a hint of cinnamon.
- They make great haggises. Try it, but DO NOT ask what is in it.
- A rare subspecies can be found around Antartica. They look the same, but have no fangs and their wool is pale blue. They are harmless, and only eat plants.
- The DNA was tested on penguins so penguins could eat more meat. Test Subjects turned into a Puffle because of Mabel putting her fur into it.
- Shprogshels are largely nocturnal. They sleep in caves or simply on hillsides (depending on the breed) during the day, and hunt at night.
- Shprogshels canNOT attack you if you are a human.
