The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Ovis will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Ovis. This section displays the Ovis's natural colors and regions. There are six horns two pointing straight, two spiraling like some breeds of rams and two small horns on the cheeks. The most prominent feature of Ovis is the horns of the males, which are highly ornate. The Ovis looks much like a modern-day domestic sheep, though slightly larger. Ovis will clamber up steep rocks with ease and leave you without easy access. When attacking on foot, be cautious of placement. The Ovis otherwise ignore other creatures and players entirely. One of the many peaceful creatures on the ARK, Ovis will not attempt to attack in any way, much preferring to flee to safety. I don't know the tribe's actual name, but I refer to them as "Sheep Lovers." One tribe has grown particularly attached to Ovis, perhaps uncomfortably so. Their wool can be repeatedly safely shorn with the proper tools, and cooked lamb chops are a popular dish among some tribes, as is their hyper-nutritious mutton.Įvery now and then, a survivor with a sense of humor will attempt to utilize Ovis as a mount, although the joke becomes significantly less funny once their slow Ovis is run-down by a pack of Raptors. Some survivors have found herds of Ovis to be useful in farm life.

Like the Dodo, its continued survival in the face of these challenges is a mystery. The unique markings on its face give it a striking appearance, and the males' horns possess a unique shape that is unlike any other species in the Ovis genus.Īs one might expect, Ovis stands little chance against this Island's many predators. Granted, Ovis arcam is quite different from the modern domesticated sheep - and even from wild sheep species such as Ovis orientalis. Since arriving on the Island, I have encountered dozens of fascinating creatures whose behavior has never been studied or documented.and also sheep.
