Trivia[]

  • Sheep first appeared on January 5, 2017, in The Phantom Fortress adventure as NPCs.
  • Greely attempts to disguise himself as one of the Sheep to infiltrate the Phantom Fortress. This may be a reference to the saying, "A wolf in sheep's clothing", meaning someone who appears harmless but is actually hostile.
  • In The Phantom Fortress, the Sheep were kept prisoner by the Phantoms.
    • When the Sheep are finally rescued, Sir Gilbert says that he will help find their heartstone and bring them to Jamaa.
    • A secret passage in this adventure reveals unsent messages in bottles right next to the cell where the Sheep were imprisoned. This suggests that the Sheep were the ones sending messages to Jamaa during the Message In A Bottle event. They also hinted by intentionally misspelling "bad" as "baad", a reference to the sound a sheep makes.
  • The initial designs of the sheep originally had more than three "swirls" in their wool according to Taylor Maw, the lead character designer for Animal Jam Classic.
  • AJHQ hinted on the Jamaa Journal that "the newest ADVENTURE" (The Phantom Fortress) would contain information to help Jammers decipher "what NEW ANIMAL will soon be coming to Jamaa".
  • They also have their very own animal passage in The Phantom Fortress.
  • The Sheep passage in The Phantom Fortress gives a Sheep Hat.
  • Both the primary and the secondary default colors are not available on the palettes for Sheep. Once they are changed, they cannot be returned to their default.
  • Unlike most animals, the Sheep hops when it walks.
  • The Sheep's play action is a reference to counting sheep.
  • The Sheep is part of the small group of domesticated animals in Jamaa, which also include the Pig, Goat, Horse, and Llama.

Glitches[]

  • There was a glitch where some tail clothing items (such as the Skullys, Turkey Tail Feathers, and Peacock Feathers) do not appear when worn by the Sheep. This was later patched.
  • The Phoenix Leg Armor, Rare Backpack, and Sports Jersey appear unusually dark when worn by Sheep.
    • The Princess Dress also appears dark on the Sheep in the preview and all other animations, but it appears normal when moving north, west, and east.
  • Half of the lines on the Bright Idea Hat appear black when equipped onto a Sheep.
  • When they first came out, it could not have eyelashes.
  • The Jamaaliday Scarf and the Feather Tail originally did not appear on the Sheep outside the player card. This was later patched.
  • Some clothing items, like Mystical Faerie Wings, do not show up when a Sheep wears it. In addition, some tail items do not appear on a Sheep. It is suspected that this was done on purpose, as the Sheep avatars do not have visible tails.
  • When playing in water, the animation of the Sheep is cut.
  • There is a glitch that occurs where when a Sheep wears a Feathered Mask, it will skim inside then out as if it was flapping around.
  • When wearing a Tie, the patches do not show up.
