Sheep are domesticated animals that are raised for their meat and wool. In Oblivion, sheep pose no threat to the Hero; they will ignore them; some do not even have the ability to fight back. Sheep are seen either being herded just outside of a town or are in pen/stockades. Attacking sheep is a crime and if caught doing so the Hero will get a bounty of five gold. If one is attacked, the ram (the sheep with big horns) will just look at the attacker and follow them.
