Overview
Ovis is a small herbivore tamed passively for its exceptional resource gathering while ridden. It reduces the weight of gathered resources in its inventory and can be carried by large creatures for aerial transport. This makes it ideal for fast, mobile farming runs across dangerous terrain.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment to remote biomes.

About gathering
While ridden, Ovis gathers a wide variety of resources with its melee attack. It harvests Berries, Crop Seeds, Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Mushrooms, Rare Flowers, Stimberries, and Seeds at 10× efficiency. Wood is also gathered at 10×, Cactus Sap and Fiber at 8×.
This makes it one of the fastest mobile gatherers for plant-based resources and fiber.

Combat notes
Ovis has a strong resistance to fire, taking -60% damage from fire-based attacks. It is highly vulnerable to instant melee damage, taking +120% more damage from sources like spike walls. Explosions and metal melee attacks also deal significantly more damage. Avoid fire-heavy areas when transporting it.
The head has a damage multiplier of 1.5x, making headshots effective for faster knockouts. Focus on the head when sedating.
Can break Thatch structures. Build at least in Wood to protect against it.
