Introducing the DOOPS - from Eidos' Up and Coming game Herdy Gerdy

Doops are rather unintelligent creatures that occur in relatively large numbers.  Their natural behavior is to graze in flocks, but individuals may stray from the group.  It is advantageous to herd the Doops into flocks as this makes them easier to maneuver.  Doops taste just great, so watch out for predators eager for an easy snack.

HOW DOOPS BEHAVE -

Gerdy - They run away.

Flute - The flute has no effect.

Stick - They will flock in groups around the stick.

Horn - Any flocks will break and all the Doops run away.

Other Doops - When Doops meet they form circular flocks.

Bleeps - They ignore Bleeps.

Gromps - They are incredibly stupid and ignore Gromps, allowing them to eat as many as they like.

Water - They will try to avoid water, but if pushed they will jump in and float downstream.

Falling - They can withstand a small drop, but falling off cliffs or high ledges will kill them unless they land in water.
