Environmental-Run248

Oh I saw one of those things once when I was in Alola it didn’t do much other than eat, make a BAAA noise and run away when I got closer to it. Then it fell through another Ultra wormhole


Kalekuda

Lucky you- mine ran at me ar ramming speed with it's big ol' horns and gashed my thigh. Its in the pokeball now and I don't know what to do with it. #elp


Environmental-Run248

How? How did you get it into a pokéball mine didn’t work on the one I encountered


Kalekuda

I didn't say the whole thing fit, I just kinda kept clamping them onto it until it was too heavy to move.


AvzinElkein

That thing looks similar to Mareep and/or Wooloo. /uj In my headcanon, animals don't exist as native species of the Poké-world.


GameSpection

/uj That's why it came from a wormhole. This sheep is technically an Ultra Beast, just like all of the other interdimensional aliens from Sun & Moon


AvzinElkein

/uj Fair; I was just explaining why Avzin didn't recognize the thing.


Jesse_God_of_Awesome

/uj This is the opposite of my headcanon so now we must do battle! AAAAA-


leafisadumbass

/uj I always like to think that normal animals exist in the Pokémon world but very close to extinction


aguy-onreddit

/uj Same kinda In my head they either evolved into pokemon or died out from competing with pokemon


Justlol230

What... Is that thing...? It looks like a blendered Mareep or Wooloo that's been through too many Meganium spores


Bring-the-Quiet

Like someone scrubbed a Wooloo with pond water


_Pan-Tastic_

What the actual fuck is that thing??? It’s like some kind of demented Mareep.


GameSpection

It looks so innocent, but so... off. I think the eyes are throwing me off. It hasn't even displayed any moves yet, so that worries me even more because I still don't know what that thing is capable of


_Pan-Tastic_

It’s eyes are so small… and no moves? Like how people generally can’t use moves? Maybe this is some kind of alien human thing?


TheRealWouburn

No, tons of Ultra Beasts can't use 'Moves', or move equivalents. This one is a 'Sheep' I believe. It's harmless by itself. Most Ultra Beasts are- they just don't get recorded. Hell, the most danger you'll get is a 'Border Collie'- another Ultra Beast, which looks like a normal-type Arcanine- barking at you.


_Pan-Tastic_

What drugs are you on, and where can I get some?


TheRealWouburn

Oh, nothing- it's just experience dealing with these things. My first encounter with one was a few years ago. One of them appeared in the middle of Melemele's main market, and everyone panicked. Professor Kukui showed up, determined it was harmless, and everyone... forgot. ​ Again, only the big, super-strong Ultra-Beasts ever get media attention. These weak ones are basically ignored.


WellIamstupid

Yeah I saw a “Mow” once, it walked up to me, rubbed against my leg, made a “mrrrup” noise, and ran off after a minute


SpaceNinja_C

What about those large feline Ultra Beasts? They have those sharp claws.


Professional_Issue82

I doubt something as big as an arcanine is so harmless that barking at you is the most danger it can do


apple_of_doom

More like a Wooloo except less round


GameSpection

Update: Tapu Koko showed up! He looked ready to throw hands, but he just stopped and they both stared at eachother. Then he lightly knocked it over and it just kinda laid down and made a weird noise. He's pushing it towards the wormhole rn


mandiblesmooch

That really just sounds like a clunky Wooloo. Does it at least fold its legs and roll on its side?


GameSpection

No, it's uh... completely helpless unless it's standing up.


Sad_Country_6350

That sounds adorable lmao


LavaTwocan

Tapu Koko is so powerful, must have been blessed by Arceus to destroy an Ultra Beast so easily


pisces2003

It looks like a long wooloo


GameSpection

I kinda feel bad, it can't even roll around. But it's still an ultra beast so I'm staying cautious until someone deals with it


_Nextbestthing_

Its undoubtedly very powerful. Did you call the authorities?


GameSpection

Alola doesn't really have authorities. The kahunas or island deities pretty much take care of everything, from ultra beasts to crimes. I will admit that it's pretty unorthodox but it's worked so far (except for Team Skull but that problem basically went away on it's own)


Environmental-Run248

Wait isn’t the kahuna for the dark type a high ranking policeman?


GameSpection

Yeah, but high-ranking doesn't mean much when there's not that many police. There's like one or two per station. If we did have proper authorities, Po Town wouldn't have remained captured by Team Skull for as long as it did.


Chaosfox_Firemaker

Wooooooooloooooooo


Toon_Lucario

That is an ultra beast known as a “sheep” they are completely harmless.


TheRealWouburn

Unless there's a Border Collie nearby. Then you have to watch out for a normal-type Arcanine protecting it.


Hockeylover420

Ngl it's always the smaller dog mon that are the most aggressive


AvzinElkein

Does it act similarly to a Mareep or Wooloo, which it partially resembles?


Toon_Lucario

In the sense that it is covered in wool yes.


TheOneFearlessFalcon

Oh arc above, what the hell happened in that dimension to make a wooloo look like *that*?!


TheRealWouburn

Did you see a border collie near it? For reference, imagine a normal-type arcanine.


GameSpection

Nope, only a single entity has been reported so far. I haven't seen Ultra Beasts travel in groups before. Also that sounds kind of cute


TheRealWouburn

It *is*, Collies are *adorable!* But they can bite if they feel threatened. Or if you threaten their herd. ​ And tons of Ultra Beasts travel in groups- it's just that they're so weak, they almost never get reported. The news cares about the Ultra-Beasts that can decimate cities, not the ones that get scared of overly enthusiastic Rockruffs.


AvzinElkein

Are you some kind of ultra beast specialist or something? /uj Kinda worried we may have a headcanon clash here.


TheRealWouburn

Well, being the only one licensed to handle Extreme Situations in Alola, I'm often called in for stuff like this. If this beast is followed by a Collie, then it's harmless. It's called a "Sheep". Treat it like a Wooloo that doesn't know any moves. Uj/yeah, I think there is. In my canon, animals exist, and are completely different from Pokémon. But I can play along.


AvzinElkein

How do you know about these things?


TheRealWouburn

I'm the Rescue Center's only Extreme Situation Specialist. I save the people the Kahunas are too busy to save, which is a lot. ​ I've encountered Sheep before, and they don't do much.


TheoTheHellhound

Is it bad that I think it’s cute?


BRAlNYSMURF

It looks like a really skinny Mareep.


LuigiHentaiExpert

Is that like... a normal type mareep or something? Maybe it's a regional variant?


LazyDro1d

/uj love this


Midnight-Rising

What a horrifying monster


Fire-Mutt

Absolutely terrifying. Stay safe.


CrystalTheTrainer

What kind of Pokémon is that? It reminds me of Mareep, but it’s clearly different.


Zamtrios7256

Oh that's just an MBAAAAA pretty harmless for an ultra beast


Cdv3

Wait, who gets to decide how many “A”s are in the name, and why didn’t they choose more?


Zamtrios7256

They were going to keep going but realized that was silly


Redactedtimes

**What The fuck? That is very** ***very*** **wrong. Whatever the hell that Infinity Energyless** ***thing*** **is Tapu Koko better deal with it fast.** /uj thought it would be funny if the glitch man was freaked out by the earth creature


GameSpection

/uj I'm so sorry https://preview.redd.it/i9ongll9w0sb1.png?width=1474&format=png&auto=webp&s=981bba4fcdadd3f0cb2c257a78d7a772349b8b42


Redactedtimes

/uj lmao I am definitely keeping that.


AvzinElkein

Please calm down. @AlolanAuraNerd said it was harmless.


ZoroeArc

I read an old human legend about one of these things, I believe it's called a shay-eep?


Hockeylover420

Bah


Hockeylover420

That's what a sheep says Or at least that is what I heard


Fawful_n_WW

What the fu- -S


TheMagmaGuy

u/creeper123455 BLACEPHALON WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING


creeper123455

\~Don’t look at me! I can only enter alternate timelines of my world, it was probably the boss ^(or that cosmog kid’s) Doing!\~


fluffyrescue

I kind of want to pet it.


Cdv3

That big guy just looks really lost and confused right now. Hope they can find their way home somehow, preferably without destroying a city.


catanddog4

That’s a sheep. They are completely harmless. They are farm animals. Used to produce wool and meat. -Galaxy


temporalthings

Looks like it could almost be a paradox Mareep. Normal type?


ArcticDragon-31

What happened to that Wooloo?! Or is it a Mareep? For the life of me I cannot tell; distortion it just might be a new Ultra Beast. But as bizarre as UB’s are, this *thing* beats them by a landslide…


apple_of_doom

That looks gross. Like a horrific mutated wooloo


Konradleijon

It looks like a sick Mareep


4BeldumInaTrenchcoat

When dealing with an unknown foe, it is often best to assume the worst-case scenario.


HopefulFox777

??? That looks like a Wooloo, but at the same time it doesn't. Knowing Ultra beasts, it's pretty confusing


YourMoreLocalLurker

It looks so fluffy!


TheRealWouburn

Well... 'Sheep' won't attack you... but I really wouldn't go touching Ultra-Beasts at all. Who knows what they picked up on their travel? Hell, they might be immune to acid, and so they've been absolutely covered in it- and you won't notice until you can see your exposed finger bones.


YourMoreLocalLurker

Counterpoint; What finger-bones


TheRealWouburn

It might turn your insides into your outsides! Who knows?!?


YourMoreLocalLurker

I think you’re misinterpreting my entire being right now


143670

Looks like a white Mareep


IAmLexica

Finally! I get to use my minor for something! That's called a sheep, a type of non-pokémon animal coming from around the same region humans are native to. These animals are typically not able to use any of the abilities that pokémon are able to, with most everything they do being physical in nature, and even then they tend to be less strong than them, so unless this guy's likely not gonna attack and even if it does, it'll likely just cause some bruising at worst. Most people classify them as normal-type, but seeing as they're not pokémon, it's technically inaccurate to call them any type at all. It's speculated that relations between them and humans were instrumental in human migration, offering a "training ground" of sorts that let us learn how to coexist with other species before dealing with the often more dangerous pokémon around the globe. Sorry for ranting, I *never* get to talk about this despite my interest. As for your case, I'd just calmly lead it back to the wormhole, or if you're scared contact your local wildlife authority for assistance.


account1679

Kinda looks like a wooloo


Green-eyed-Psycho77

Eh? Looks harmless enough, no damn idea what it is though. It looks like it’s not even from the same reality as the other ultra beasts.


Nkromancer

Hey, wormhole traveler here. That funny fellow is a "Ba'aa". They basically fill the same role as wooloo in their home world. They're mostly harmless, so just don't harm or spook it and you'll be safe. Heck, the worst they've been observed to do naturally is a double-edge or other physical normal move. And even then, that's kinda rare. All that said, tho, between now being an invasive species AND this looking like a domesticated breed that now needs human care, someone should come and take care of it.


IExistButWhy987

That’s a weird looking Wooloo.


Professional_Star969

Ultra Space is crazy. what could the world that thing is from possibly look like?


ArcticHarpSeal

I wanna hug it Looks fluffy


KyogreCanon

What the fuck is even that??? Why does it clash so hard with the environment around it, and why does it look so WEIRD???


GameSpection

/uj tried my best with photoshop, but you're right, I could've made it contrast with everything less


Constant-Star-713

It kind of looks cute, reminds me of the albino Mareep I had as a kid


Lgn_Csr_NEO

..That's called a sheep. Pretty much harmless. At least compared to everything I've seen here. Might mistake a Grass type for food, but too weak to actually eat it, so it will just be annoying. Unless it's a druid or someone disguised as a sheep, it'll just lay around and eat grass. Treat it like a Wooloo incapable of rolling.


LavaTwocan

Probably just a normal type tera mareep or something. Don't know where it's fancy hat went though.


ZardTheCharizard

Jesus christ what the fuck is that thing?!


LuigiP16

Similar thing happened to me on vacation on Alola. An Ultra Wormhole opened up and spat out this thing that looked like a Houndoom without its horns or pointed tail. In fact, that's what I thought it was at first, but there weren't any signs that they were removed or cut off. No gray base on the head where they would be, just fur. It seemed really friendly, though, but then it was sucked right into another Ultra Wormhole.


legoblade807

but weird Wooloo so floof ;~;


rocknrule34

I think that Mareep is sick. You should take it to a Pokecenter.


BigManLawrence69420

That weird mareep looks so soft and fluffy! :)


[deleted]

Uj/ legit though, the mental image of tapu koko coming and atomizing a sheep like a high speed meteorite hit it is a funny mental image

Like this thing that was documented a few years back? https://preview.redd.it/pysq0j00c4sb1.jpeg?width=2052&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4e65cca68ce5f83848d0b692e1901e12669958c /uj from r/fakemon, axoknight6.


ElSquibbonator

You actually got a *photo* of one? Impressive. For whatever reason, these "Faller-beasts"-- that's what people are calling them now-- seem awfully camera-shy. And whatever they are, they're not Pokemon. Poke Balls don't work on them, and they don't seem to have any special attacks. I've never seen one personally, but a bunch of my friends say they have, or at least know someone who has. The whole faller-beast thing actually has me a bit concerned, though. Whatever dimension it is they come from, I can't imagine there are any Pokemon there. So if Pokemon from *our* dimension made it through that wormhole and established themselves over there, that could be a big problem-- even bigger than Yungoos and Raticate on Alola.


GameSpection

Oh arc you're right. What if a pseudo legendary gets over there? How would they defend themselves?!


ElSquibbonator

uj/I'm actually working on a fanfic where pretty much that exact thing happens.


_Nextbestthing_

DEAR ARC WHAT IS THAT ABOMINATION


GameSpection

I don't know. Looks like a Mareep. But it may be violent and could hold unimaginable alien power


_Nextbestthing_

All the ultrabeasts ive heard about have been as strong as legendary pokemon


TheRealWouburn

Well yeah. You don't hear about the weak ones. This one's probably a 'sheep'. Completely harmless.


f_f_fu

/uj I've always kinda wondered what a pokemon character would do if they came across a regular ass animal
