Sheep (penguins)

Two penguins dressed as sheep are actually spies of the KGP. They only actually talk during Cold War. When you use shears on them, the "sheep" just walks away. The two penguins have been in RuneScape for a very long time before the Cold War update, and some players were spectulating about a penguin invasion. They may be right, as the Cold War quest ends with a cliffhanger.

These penguins also appear in the quest Sheep Shearer, and are referred to as "The Thing" by Fred the Farmer. They play no major role in the quest, however, and only pose a distraction to players.

Trivia
These penguins were referred to in Postbag from the Hedge #34. The following is a direct excerpt from the letter: "He’ll only reassign us if we go mad, and nobody mad would want to be reassigned. We call it Catch Twenty-Tuna." This is a reference to the book, Catch-22. Specifically, it refers to the scene where Yossarian learns that if he continues to fly missions, he would be insane and eligible to request a transfer to a different post. Unfortunately, if he submits a request for a transfer, it is determined that he has concerns for his own safety and is therefore sane and ineligible for a transfer.
