Kellium Sheep
The Kellium Sheep is relatively large in size in comparison to the rest of its relatives, and resemble clouds with legs. The species was domesticated by the Kellium people sometime in the second age, and are highly valued for the cloth produced by their wool.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Four legs and a short bobbed tail with wool that will continue to grow until the beast is almost immobile by the weight and unwieldy dimensions. The males have two horns that sprout and curl around the head, which are used for butting heads of other males during the mating season.
Genetics and Reproduction
The Kellium Sheep do not reproduce at a very rapid rate, and their adolescent phase lasts for an extended period of time; resulting in constant high demands for the Kellium cloth. Because the Kellium cloth is such a high commodity and the sheep's reproduction cycle so slow, the Kellumlund State imposed strict regulations and protective measures for their treatment. Whether these measure will remain under the Ornithian occupation is unknown.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Due to the climate of the Kellumlund region, the sheep are highly social animals that create large herds in the wild. The thick wool combined with the bodies of other sheep protect their skin and young in the center.
Domestication
Domesticated since the 2nd age by the Kellium people. The cloth made from their wool is outstandingly lightweight and provides a substantial amount of warmth to the user. The cloth has become somewhat of a precious commodity for Kellumlund as the trade routes between sapient nations became more traveled and made safe.
