COMBAT

Giant sheep generally flee from danger and avoid combat if possible. If cornered, they attack by biting.

Stampede (Ex): A frightened flock of giant sheep flees as a group in a random direction (but always away from the perceived source of danger). They literally run over anything of Large size or smaller that gets in their way, dealing 1d12 points of damage for each five sheep in the flock (Reflex DC 16 half ). The save DC is Strength-based.
