Sheep-Elves

Sheep-Elves by Stone Gargoyle

The creature known as the Sheep-Elf is actually neither sheep nor elf, though it can be mistaken for an elf from a distance due to its large floppy pointed ears. Its face has some semblance of a sheep in that the nose is flat against the face and the face is somewhat elongated. Sheep-Elves are covered in a layer of thin soft fur and have small stubby tails also. The males often sport goat-like horns which they typically try to conceal by wearing hats which cover them, such as jester caps. Creatures of magic, Sheep-Elves can magically transform themselves into sheep when the need arises. Sheep-Elves are three foot tall, slight people not built for labor of any sort, but rather make good entertainers, spies and thieves. They are quite playful but are known for having very short attention spans. While not quite considered faerie folk, it is speculated that they have ties to them and many have a great aptitude toward magic, becoming skilled wizards. Sheep-Elves prefer brightly colored garments, dressing to draw attention when in public, but they can dress to blend in and be unseen when working as thieves.
