Summoned NPCs[]

Sheep
- Main article: Sheep
Sheep | ||
This is a magic sheep. What's so magical about it? You can't kill it. It will stand there until it magcially fades away, all the while chewing cud with a blank stare. | ||
Sheep are summoned by firing the Wand of Flock.
Each charge will produce 1 Sheep per level of the wand (and/or the Ring of Power), which can be used as a blockade, preventing enemies from reaching or attacking the Hero for a certain number of turns.

Golden bees lose some health each turn until they die.
