Jonathan King’s twisted ovine horror-comedy Black Sheep – about a genetic experiment that turns harmless sheep in New Zealand into bloodthirsty killers with a taste for human flesh – debuted on March 29, 2007.
[Godmonster of Indian Flats is the weirdest film I saw in 2018. And considering that 2018 was also the year I finally sat down and watched The Holy Mountain, that’s saying something. The titular mutant sheep isn’t in the movie for very long. Most of the plot is about a black real estate developer running afoul of the racist mayor of a small town devoted to historical reenactments. But the monster does good work with the screentime it has. Don’t believe me? See for yourself.]
Theovis
This grotesquely deformed creature is covered in equal parts wool and tumors. It is bipedal, shambling awkwardly on hooved legs. One of its forelimbs is much larger than the other one, and its head is shriveled and naked.
The theovis is an ill omen, a sign of pollution and mutation on the land. They are born of livestock—sheep are the most common—but bear only a faint resemblance to their progenitor species. Theovises are peaceful herbivores, but their horrible appearance causes them to be seen as monsters. Their eyesight is poor, and they tend to react to being startled by lashing out with their malformed limbs or by releasing clouds of poisonous gas. This foul yellowish vapor permeates a theovis’ entire body, rendering them immune to poison but dangerously flammable. A theovis slain by fire explodes violently.
A theovis is of animal intelligence. They are typically rejected by their parents and left to die, but are self-sufficient from infancy and can make a living for themselves. They can be befriended by creatures that take care of them, and in this case will act something like a bizarre pet. They seem to be fond of music and other interesting sounds, and may wander towards them if left to their own devices. Due to their odd appearances and foul taste, the theovises have no natural predators, but unnatural ones may attack them for the sheer novelty.

Special Attacks
Animal Mind (Ex) Despite having the aberration type, a theovis can be subject to the Handle Animal skill and wild empathy class feature. All Handle Animal and wild empathy checks made to influence them take a -4 penalty.
Death Throes (Ex) A theovis reduced to 0 hit points by fire damage explodes, dealing 2d6 points of fire damage to all creatures in a 20 ft. radius (Reflex DC 12 halves). The save DC is Constitution based.
Near-Sighted (Ex) A theovis treats all creatures between 30 and 60 feet away as if they had concealment, and treats creatures more than 60 feet away as if they had total concealment.
Poison Cloud (Ex) As a standard action three times per day, a theovis can release a cloud of toxic gas in a 20 foot radius. All living creatures in the gas must succeed a DC 12 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1 minute. A creature that saves is immune to the poison cloud of that theovis for the next 24 hours. The gas remains as an aura around the theovis for 1 minute or until dispersed by wind, and blocks sight as per an obscuring mist spell. This is a poison effect and the save DC is Constitution based.
Have yet to finish the rest of S04 (I'm in the middle of E07)
it's like this:
I want to hug Butcher because nobody else will
Someone give M'M a vacation lord knows he needs it
Why is Frenchie suddenly gay this season?, I thought Kimiko and him were gonna be a thing but I guess that's out the window?
Homelander is just disgusting hands down after the collection of grey pubic hairs he's collected and the whole breast milk thing and plenty more things I'm sure I just can't think of them all
Hughie's dad Simon Pegg, is just an amazing actor and I loved his performance throughout all of the seasons but especially this season
Starlight/Annie January is still gorgeous with or without plastic surgery and I'm just saying this cause I can kinda tell she got some work done but that's okay! Do you girl
Hughie is still kicking ass, but i just want to protect him like the lil baby faced punk he is
Someone please adopt Ryan out of his family, this is a shit show and he's going to grow up being so confused by homelander's terrible parenting skills. But then again Homelander was born in a lab so, who's to blame.
Okay I think I'm going to have nightmares over S04E05 of The Boys.
Not just me, my cat was watching behind me and I turn around to touch her and she jumps all spooked out after the sheep murder scene. That was some wild shit.
Don't trust fucking sheep ever in my life now, nope no thank you. Chickens too.
