Farmville Sheep Breeding: The Magnificent Devil Sheep Descendants


Though the breeding of the infamous Devil sheep has, for the most part, been near to impossible.  Farmville players who have Devil sheep may be focusing too much on the failure of the flashing horn and red eye features to pass on to its descendants.  However, if you have received one of these, somewhat genetically flawed, Devil descendants, then I doubt you feel disappointed in the least.  Of all the special featured sheep out there,  the Devil sheep descendants are the craziest.  Though I am sharing an picture of one of these sheep, without the animation, the image hardly does it justice.

Devil Descendants:
Since you may not know a Devil Descendant when you see one, here is a list of their common features.

Flashing Mask Colors: Instead of having a single color of mask, Devil Descendants constantly flash all different mask colors.

Rapid Flashing: The Devil Descendant tend to flash at a much quicker rate than Flashing sheep and Poppers. In fact, they flash so fast that they look like little strobe lights.  When you visit a neighbor's farm, you will notice this type of sheep first since it will be constantly tweaking and popping.

Split Color Feature: Most Devil Descendants have the split color feature, which devides horizontally through the middle of the sheep.  So while, the top half of the sheep's base color is flashing one set of colors, the bottom half is flashing another set of colors.

Electric:  The Electric Feature in Devil Descendants is never one color of Electric.  Instead the Devil Descendant has electric lines that flash all different colors.  Since electric is a feature that goes off for a while and then comes back on, you will see the same thing in the Devil Descendants.  When the electric lines turn on, the lines run a spectrum of colors and disappear for a moment and then turn right back on.

Popping Colors: Sometimes instead of flashing the base color, Devil Descendants flash the secondary color which gives the sheep the appearance of colors popping out at you.
All of the features that I've described above are constantly flashing and moving.  The parts of a Devil Descendant that are not moving are the base color or the sheep's design color which is the secondary color.  If you are not sure which colors are which, the base color is the backdrop of stars and dots whereas the secondary color is the color of the stars and dots.  In a Camo sheep, the base color is in the middle and secondary is on the edges. Though there are some variations in the combination of special features that occur in Devil sheep descendants, they tend to keep most of the features at once and this is what makes them look so crazy.

Breeding Tips:
Breeding of Devil Descendants should be done in a manner similar to breeding multi-feature sheep, but is ultimately easier.  Instead of getting a sheep that is missing several features, as is seen in regular multi-feature sheep, the Devil Descendant will ever give you another Devil Descendant or it will give you a plain or single feature lamb.  So, you will know when you see the lamb weather or not the breed was successful.  In order to have the best breeding results, you will want to pair the Devil Descendant with a sheep that has no special features.  Though two Devil Descendants can be bred together, ultimately breeding with a plain patterned sheep will give you the highest ratio of breeding success. 
So if you don't already have a Devil Descendant, they are well worth seeking out. Though this type of sheep may not be as easy to find as some of the others, you are sure to bump into one on on a neighbor's farm.  If you do, you shouldn't ask your friend for a Devil Descendant since they may not even be aware that this is what they have.  Instead, post a sign next to the sheep once you find one and ask if you can have on of those.  It may be a little forward, but there's no way you're neighbor will be wondering what sheep you are talking about.  Lastly, once you get a Devil Descendant, be sure to share lambs with your friends, since it is probably the last type of crazy featured sheep we will see for a while.
