This turns any living creature into the critter for that map type such as
Pig for Wasteland,
Seal for Snow,
Sheep for Forest,
Boar for Swamp.
Although the unit hasn’t been killed it has been in effect killed as it cannot be turned back into the previous unit or commanded in anyway.
在森林地形是羊,雪地是海豹,沼泽是野猪,废土的家猪。
后来,多数剧情、战役、法术使用都是发生在森林地形(陆地)上,于是大家都变出来的是羊。久而久之,羊就成了默认的设定。但是法师还是会变别的。
根据不完全统计,法师的变形术可以把对象变成以下这些动物:
羊,黑猫,家猪,野猪,兔子,乌龟,企鹅,北极熊,刺猬,猴子。
但是羊最多,所以英文和中文殊归同途都把变形术简称成了“羊”,英文sheep也名词作动词用,变了羊的就叫“sheeped”。
