Doop

Doops are small creatures that are rather stupid and like to hang around in groups. They look like pink squirrels.



How to Herd Doops
To herd Doops, gather them together into a small herd. Do this by laying down the Herding Stick then running behind any stray Doops until they are all walking around it. Remove the Herding Stick and walk behind them. They should all stick together and go in the direction you want. Don't run at them too quickly or they may scatter. If you need Doops to scatter to save them from a Gromp, i.e. into some water, use the Horn to frighten them in, Gromps won't get them in the water.

Behavior
Doops will ignore all other creatures and Gromps and Grimps will eat them. Doops cannot swim, but won't drown in water. If they end up in a stream they will bob downstream until they come to a patch they can climb out at. This is vital to herding some Doops on a couple of levels; the Great Forest is one of these levels. Doops tend to avoid high places as long drops will kill them, but you may come across some on high ledges. You'll know when you are near a group of Doops as a sweet little tune will play.

Pens & Map Indication
Doops are represented by green dots and the Doop pens by green squares. Each Doop pen can hold 15 Doops and looks barely suitable to contain them. When a Gromp eats a Blurp, their dot on the map turns the same shade of green as the Doops.
