Stubborn to the core, ceras sheep are unlikely to do what they're asked; rather, they seem to enjoy doing the opposite. Ceras are rare companions even among magi. It takes daily attention to earn one's trust, something most magi can't devote themselves to, and their appearance unnerves many. In ancient times, though, ceras sheep were quite common, especially among self-proclaimed fortunetellers who claimed to be able to read the fluctuating red patterns in their wool - much like the even older practices of reading oracle bones, cards, or crystal balls. Over time this fell out of favor, and the sheep became scarce as owners released them, having no more reason to keep such an aggressive creature around. Among more superstitious communites the sighting of a ceras sheep is held to mean impending tragedy; is it only mere coincidence that they appear most often before a tragedy, or something more?

Despite an unnerving appearance, polyceras have remained popular companions through the ages due to their pleasant disposition. They are eager to please their owners and can even be taught simple commands. The red patterns on their wool fluctuate and in many cases indicate the sheep's mood - more red in the wool means an unhappy sheep. In ancient times this was exploited by fortunetellers looking to make some quick gold by tricking others into thinking the patterns told fortunes, much like crystal ball readings. Among the superstitious it is believed that the sight of one of these creatures signals good fortune. They are most commonly seen in winter, when they travel down from their summer homes high in the Alasres.
Not my kinda creature that I want to keep but wow. I'll be over here, hiding in my mountain of fluffy chinchillas.
