thinking about the pkmn sword dex entry for Wooloo that straight up claims that their fleece is basically so good at absorbing shock they can fall off cliffs and basically stand up again utterly unharmed.
but now i'm imagining like a screensaver that's just a bunch of balls bouncing around a screen slowly coming to rest... that but softly, gently bleating wooloo's tumbling about the screen, rolling around, wigglin' li'l peeties and then trotting off once righting themselves again
