Sheep + Cactus = Baactus

Bear with me! We have cows crossed with mushrooms (mooshrooms) that have a special island just for them. Why not do so with sheep. the baactus has a cactus-like texture and spikes to that deal damage. Like if you were to walk into an actual cactus, but they're still friendly! If you shear them they drop spikes that could be used to craft throwing daggers, spears or maybe be used in an anvil with armor to obtain the thorns enchantment. However unlike the mooshroom (becoming a cow when you shear it) the baactus will take three to four times to become a green sheep. Their special island could have special cacti that have flowers or fruit. The island could be made up of special cactus sand that could cause cacti to grow twice as fast as normal. If you breed a green sheep with a baactus it has a 50/50 chance to give birth to either a green sheep or a baactus, but you have to feed the baactus cactus fruit.

    Nice, the baactus! XD, cool name! What about the Baahpple, that has apples attached to a sheep? Or a Bun-ny that has bread attached to a bunny?

    The name is pretty funny and cute, but the idea itself is just weird; also, you've just casually asked for two new weapons without telling us anything about them at all, which is not a good idea. No support.

    I like how the name keeps up with the Mooshroom, like having the animal's sound + the plant/fungus that they're combined with.

    Could be found in: deserts

    Natural chance of spawning: 3 percent

    Drops: Spiky Wool, which means that it and anything crafted from it will damage you slowly over time, and normal mutton (spiky wool looks exactly like normal wool.)

    Why this should be in the game: who wouldn't love a Baactus!?

    I love the idea, but I think you went just a little too far. In my opinion, it would be better to simply have the Baacti (plural of Baactus) drop cactus blocks when sheered. The spikes and the daggers and armor uses are a bit much. Also, I would forget about the cactus sand. Other than that, great concept, you have my vote!
