Steel Sheep (mob)

The Steel Sheep is a creature from the Steel Sheep mod. They are found naturally spawned in the Extreme Hills biomes. They have 20 health, or 10 hearts of health. Despite being notorious, the Steel Sheep is considered passive; it will not attack the player in any circumstance. However, it does have one defense from attacks; the sheep's wool suit is, as the name of the mob suggests, made out of a sharp form of Steel. Touching the sheep once will take 0.5 off of your health.

Killing a Steel Sheep will not drop anything but a small amount of Experience Points. To gain Steel Wool, you must shear one. Shearing a Steel Sheep give 1-3 Steel Wool, but you must be very close to the sheep to shear it.

Although shearing takes off most of the sheep's Steel, touching the sheep still causes the same amount of damage. Shearing the sheep will also cause it to it to panic, and it will run around traumatically. Over time, the Steel will regrow. The mod originally had Steel Sheep eat Iron Ore to regrow it, in the same way a normal Sheep eats Grass, but this was never implemented.

Wolves do not attack Steel Sheep. You can feed a Steel Sheep Wheat to try to breed it, but an offspring will never be produced. However, Steel Sheep babies are in the game; right clicking a full-grown Steel Sheep with a Steel Sheep Egg will summon a baby Steel Sheep. A baby Steel Sheep acts just like an adult Steel Sheep; it can be sheered and has the same AI.
