Sheepsquatch is typically described as a stocky, white-furred creature about the size of a small bear, with goat- or ram-like horns, long forelimbs, and an awkward, lumbering gait. Witnesses report dirty, matted wool, claws on both front and back feet, and a mouth full of sharp, herbivore-defying teeth. Its eyes are usually described as dark and reflective, shining back light in the beam of a flashlight.

Witness: D. Miller
Date: Late November, 1998
Location: Near reclaimed strip mine, southern West Virginia

I was walking back to the truck after evening sit, just after legal light, when I heard what I thought was somebody's goat having a full meltdown in the trees above the road. It was a high, broken kind of bleat, over and over, with branches snapping like something big was crashing around. I stopped at the bend where the road cuts along the old strip job and that's when it stepped out. White fur, matted and dirty, hanging in clumps. Big curling horns like a ram, but the body was all wrong. Too tall in the shoulders, too long in the arms. It looked around like it was drunk or confused, sniffing and snorting, then turned and dropped to all fours and scrambled back up the bank. The smell hit me a second later. Barnyard mixed with something sour and swampy. I've been around livestock my whole life. This was not somebody's goat.

Re:Sheepsquatch - Case SHE-012
Working theory: anxious, territorial, and easily spooked. Approach with caution, avoid direct eye contact, and do not imitate its bleat unless you are prepared for whatever answers back.
