'''Dream sheep''' are physically weaker than the common [[yak]], but their dust can inflict [[sleep]] from anywhere in [[LOS\|sight]]. Notably, this means that if you can see them, they can put you to sleep (even if you are invisible). The more sheep in LOS, the more likely you are to fall asleep.

	*Be aware of what does and does not protect you from [[sleep]]:		*[[Sleep]] is very dangerous: it prevents you from doing anything until attacked, lowers your [[EV]] and [[SH]] to near 0, and increases damage taken in melee. EV-based fighters have the most to worry, but sleeping next to a [[hydra]] is deadly to anyone.
			*Be aware of what does and does not protect you from sleep:

	*Heavily armoured characters have less to worry about, as [[AC]] is unaffected by being put to sleep. Characters that rely on [[ev]]asion should be far more cautious.
	*If run into a pack of dream sheep you weren't ready for and need to flee, consider reading a [[scroll of teleportation]] -- even if you get put to sleep, the teleportation effect will still kick in after a few turns.		*If run into a pack of dream sheep you weren't ready for and need to flee, consider reading a [[scroll of teleportation]] -- even if you get put to sleep, the teleportation effect will still kick in after a few turns.
