Timid Herding. Clucklewools prefer to stay in groups and will flee rather than fight if threatened. If one Clucklewool moves, any within 10 feet of it must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or instinctively follow.
Versatile Livestock. A Clucklewool provides ample food sources. A well-fed Clucklewool can produce up to 1 gallon of rich, slightly gamey milk per day, and lays 1d6 large, speckled eggs each week. Its woolly fur can be sheared twice a year, yielding soft but coarse fiber.
Startling Cluck. When frightened, a Clucklewool emits a high-pitched squawk that can be heard up to 300 feet away. Any creature within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or be startled, losing their reaction until the start of their next turn.

Hit: 6 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
Panic Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Description
The Clucklewool is an odd yet invaluable domesticated beast found in farmlands, rolling hills, and mountainous villages. It has the long, woolly body of an alpaca, the sure-footed legs and curling horns of a goat, and the feathered crest and beady-eyed gaze of a chicken. Its soft wool is prized for making rustic clothing, and while its meat is edible, it is far more valuable as a producer of both milk and eggs.
Clucklewools are skittish creatures, prone to darting away in a flurry of panicked clucks at the slightest sign of trouble. Despite their nervous disposition, they are easy to manage when kept in groups and will instinctively follow a leader. Farmers often keep a particularly docile Clucklewool as a guide to lead the rest of the herd.
While largely harmless, an angry or startled Clucklewool can deliver a surprisingly painful headbutt or an erratic peck. However, most threats are deterred by the sheer cacophony of their alarmed squawks, which can startle nearby creatures and alert farmers from great distances.
A favorite of rural communities, the Clucklewool is an amusing yet essential part of daily life, providing sustenance, warmth, and no small amount of chaotic charm to those who raise them.
