Neutral Unit - Killer Sheep Level 1

Blood lust of killer sheep
Sheep ... only ate grass before
By ROBIN PERRIE
FLESH-eating killer sheep have been found living on a remote moor.
Until now sheep were thought to eat only grass.
But bird expert Dr Niall Burton watched in horror as one bloodthirsty woolly fiend pounced on a baby grouse and munched it.
Eerily, the attack came three miles from the spot where a flock of sheep pushed a woman to her death off a cliff.
Dr Burton described in the journal of British Birds how he came across a family of eight grouse chicks foraging in the heather on Muggleswick Common near Stanhope in Weardale, Co Durham.
Suddenly one of three sheep nearby “ran forward, picked up a chick and ate it whole.”
He went on: “The alarmed female grouse quickly removed her remaining chicks.
“But the sheep was only prevented from taking a second chick by my intervention.”
Dr Burton believes the moorland sheep have turned to meat to compensate for missing nutrients in their diet — possibly calcium. They satisfy their lust for blood by scoffing chicks of ground nesting birds.
Flocks of killer sheep have also been reported in other parts of Britain.
Glasgow University’s Dr Bob Furness told of seeing sheep eating live tern and skua chicks on Foula, Shetland.
Farmer’s wife Betty Stobbs, 61, died in 1999 when she was mobbed by hungry sheep as she went to feed them.
The mother-of-one was riding an off-road quad bike.
She plunged over the edge of Ashes Quarry in Stanhope and died at the scene.
A witness said: “If you’ve got about 40 of the things rushing at you, it’s such a force.”

Other ideas about neutral creatures: Trepanator - he beaks the heads of his enemies. So the first unit in the stack dies immediately. Maybe that won't work on the Ghost because he holds his head in his hand... What will the Trepanator attack - the head or the body???
Olympic Javelineer - he throws javelins, therefore he is a shooter. And because he has participated in Olympic Games, he can shoot with a full arrow all over the battleground! And he is very enduring... His only fear is the
Referee - he checks the Olympic Javelineers for doping... there is a 75% chance that the Javelineer has taken doping. In this case the points of damage of the Referee will be equal to the number of killed Javelineers. Explanation: if the Referee has 12-14 damage and the Javelineer has 50 hit points, the Referee is not going to kill him - he will have 36-38 hit points left. But IF he has taken doping, the Referee will kill 12-14 Javelineers...
Other ideas?

'Rowdy' Russians Ordered Off Plane
By Carol D. Leonnig
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, February 19, 2002; Page B03
About 100 members of a Russian orchestra traveling from Amsterdam to Los Angeles were ordered off a plane at Dulles International Airport yesterday following crew complaints that they had been drunk and disorderly on the first leg of the journey.
United Airlines Flight 947 sat at its gate at Dulles last night for about 90 minutes after it was scheduled to take off for the second leg, while airline representatives tried to impress some "rules of conduct" upon the leaders of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, United officials said. Ultimately, airline officials said, the pilot and crew decided that the group was not taking United's rules seriously and decided to remove the entire group from the flight.
"Our crew said they continued to be disruptive," said Susana Leyva, a United spokeswoman in Chicago. "That's it for us."
Los Angeles-bound passengers taking the second leg of the trip had waited in confusion from about 5:30 to 6:30 p.m, until the pilot reported over the intercom that "the Russians have to be removed" from the plane. Baggage handlers took the group's luggage and instruments out of the cargo hold, and the plane took off about 7:10 p.m.
According to Leyva, the rowdiness of a large portion of the troupe made the eight-hour transatlantic trip from Amsterdam to Dulles difficult for the crew and uncomfortable for other passengers. The group refused to sit down when told to, talked loudly and tossed objects around, she said.
"The group was misbehaving, inebriated, opening their own bottles of alcohol, rowdy and nonresponsive to the crew," Leyva said. "I want to apologize to the passengers on the Amsterdam leg who had to put up with that and the passengers on the L.A. portion who were delayed."
The St. Petersburg Philharmonic was traveling to a performance scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Late last night, the group was trying to find hotel accommodations near Dulles, and its members could not be located for comment. United officials agreed to book the group on flights leaving for Los Angeles today but declined to pay for its overnight stay in the Dulles area.
The orchestra was formed in 1882 and is Russia's oldest symphony orchestra. It was known for many years as the Leningrad Philharmonic and was once revered for its close ties with composer Dmitri Shostakovich, until his death in 1975.
The orchestra changed its name in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet Union. It is now led by Russian conductor Yuri Temirkanov, who is also music director of the Baltimore Symphony.

No! I have a better idea! How about halving the damage the sheep takes? It's not easy to break through all that wool and do serious damage you know!

I hev a better ideea: how about a special called "deadly laughter"? What it does is when confronting the sheep, the enemy stack is reduced by 2% beacuse they laugh so hard they can't fight anymore...
