(account deleted)Can we use them as some sort of power source? I mean, they do generate some interesting charge levels…
Seriously thinking of adding something about that in experiment notes. Like some researcher using them to jump-start a jeep or some such thing. ^___^
You beat me to it.

Nitpicky sorta thing, but this seems off…
The defining characteristic of the sheep is that they are able to generate a substantial amount of static electricity simply by the friction caused during daily activities.
Followed by this:
Another trait exhibited by SCP-594 is an inherent ability to “walk on air” or more accurately levitate themselves at a distance on average of 2 to 4 meters vertically via manipulation of electromagnetic fields.
There's a whole world of difference between generating static electricity and manipulating magnetic fields to fly. Also, having it down near the end gives it a tacked on, "Oh yea, and they can fly." feel. Just sayin'.
Maybe I'm being nitpicky too, but what is "Tesla armor"? Why not just ask that researchers wear static-free or anti-static clothing? It sounds like an item from an RPG.
It also seems unnecessarily wordy. There are four huge paragraphs about the sheep's physical descriptions, social behavior, and mating habits, but as malice noted the fact that the sheep can freakin' fly isn't mentioned until over a thousand word into the article, and then almost off-hand. Could definitely use some streamlining.
Also the article references a few supplementary documents which are never provided. That is a very minor point, but since it's so easy to clean up it might as well be.
These probably shouldn't work. But they do. The excessive realistic detail helps. They're… charming, really, and not in a bad way.
Hah! New here, but this is probably my favorite SCP so far. I assume some link between this and classical Greek mythology, correct? Also, as said above, they're charming, especially compared to the somewhat grim nature of certain SCPs.
If you like charming, offbeat SCPs, you should make sure to read SCP-529.
Also, <mod> please don't use signatures in the forums. </mod>
