Summary
AMinecraftplayer spotted a deformed sheep with a lowered head in their fresh Survival world. Though it’s been out for many years,Minecraftfans still regularly start new Creative and Survival worlds, and this player has found an abnormality in the latter.
Many enemies have been added toMinecraftover the years, but sheep are among a few mobs that have been a staple since the beginning. Beyond the sheep, the launch version ofMinecrafthad pigs which were also farmable creatures. Some of the hostile mobs that were part ofMinecraft’s original bestiary are skeletons, spiders, and zombies, which remain part of the game inMinecraft1.20. While exploring a fresh Survival world, this player discovered a sheep with a deformed head.

Reddit user Omaygotambautakum recently shared a clip of their freshMinecraftSurvivalseed in which they’re observing the movements of the sheep. WithMinecraftmobile prompts visible on the screen, the player tries to maintain height as the sheep climbs a nearby hill. The sheep awkwardly moves as its head barely clears the ground beneath it and occasionally clips into nearbyMinecraftdirt blocks. Observing the sheep from behind, Omaygotambautakum’s video shows that there’s a narrow visible gap between its head and body. Omaygotambautakum’s clip concludes with the strange sheep descending the same hill before approaching theMinecraftplayer.
TheMinecraftinventory bar at the bottom of the screen shows the player only holding pork and wood, adding validity to the claim that it’s a fresh world. The experience bar filled with five bubbles also indicated that Omaygotambautakum likely hunted pigs for their pork rather than finding it in a village. Given that Omaygotambautakum had been collecting pork, they may have intended to hunttheMinecraftanimalbefore realizing that it was deformed. In some other games, a sheep in this condition may not be moving around normally, but thisMinecraftmob acts as it would without the deformity.
Because the sheep in this video isn’t carrying unique wool, the gamer may not have a need for the materials that it drops despite starting a fresh Seed. With this deformity, the sheep resemblesaMinecraftSniffer, a creature that was introduced to the game with the Trails and Tales update. Given that Omaygotambautakum only added context by apologizing for making fun of the sheep, it’s currently unclear if they’re playing an updated or older version ofMinecraft.
