Appearance
Adult Male Mouflons are distinguishable from their female counterparts by their horns. These horns grow over time and can be used to roughly determine the age of the animal. Undomesticated Mouflons will only grow a patch of wool in their backs, while domesticated sheep will grow wool all over their bodies. This is purely aesthetical and doesn't affect the amount of wool collected by shearing.
When Mouflons are sheared, the white patch of wool will be gone and will be left by brown fur likewise to the rest of their body.
Usage
Wool can only be obtained from adult Mouflons/Sheep by using Shears or a Knife on them or killing a non-sheared domesticated Sheep and processing the Sheepskin. Mouflon regrow wool only when it is cold. However, the domesticated version, Sheep, grow wool all year round. Mouflons and Sheep regrow their wool by eating grass and tall grass.
Mouflons and Sheep can also be butchered for Mutton. The larger the animal, the more mutton it will drop upon death.
Behavior
Wild Mouflons spawn in mountainous biomes. Like other animals, they will roam around the loacation they've spawned in, avoiding falls, lava and navigating around obstacles. At night, Mouflons will lie down to sleep and will try to find some shelter when it rains.
When hungry, Mouflons and Sheep will eat grass, turning it into dirt. This makes them regrow their wool, therefore it is recommended that grass can still spread in their pens, otherwise they won't be able to produce wool.
Mouflons, like most other wild animals, are neutral mobs, which means that they will retaliate if attacked. When attacked, Mouflons will strike once in order to protect themselves and deal a reasonable amount of damage and knockback. On the other hand, Sheep will not retaliate if attacked. Mouflons and Sheep will follow players holding any type of grain.
Breeding
- Main article: Animal Husbandry
Mouflons can be bred with all grains except riceVerify. Only animal size needs to be taken into account when breeding, as larger animals will have generally larger offspring. If a male Mouflon is bred with a 100% familiarized female Mouflon, which is only possible in the second generation, the next generation will be domesticated instead of their wild versions.
A Mouflon/Sheep's pregnancy lasts for 5 months, and lambs take 12 months to become adults.
