The secret stretch goal for Original Sin at $666,666 has been reached: The Weresheep are added to the game. Here are some details:
Dropping Hints And Picking Them Up
The weresheep are real. We are sure of it. But no one has actually seen one. Or perhaps that should be - no one has ever lived to tell of an encounter with these most bizarre and bloody beasts.
We've been told that to find them, many a hint need to be picked up. Some are so subtle that even a Source Hunter would be forgiven for letting the trail grow cold.
Dyed-In-The-Werewool
Everybody knows that if you can find a weresheep and kill it in combat, the great prize to be obtained is werewool! Its magical properties allow adventurers to craft weapons, pieces of armour and other items of great and fabled powers. Not to mention they're cosy, snug and warm!
But where to find a weresheep? Perhaps the legend of Falcon Black contains a clue...

More information.

Not sure how I feel about this. Seems a bit... far-fetched, I dunno.

Though kudos to Larian for recognizing their fans. :)

In the lore for some games pretty much any animal can be crossed with a human like having wereboars, werebears, ect. and even more passive animals so having it here with weresheep isn't really far fetched but they should be rare since sheep are not as likely to spread the disease.

I think they are handling it well, seems you have to actively follow this to get involved, nothing in your face. And it doesn't seem any weirder than the white chicken quest in Dragon Knight Saga...
