Mareep's name is derived from the name Mary and the word sheep, both in reference to the nursery rhyme "Mary had a Little Lamb." The name Mareep is also an anagram of the word, ampere, a unit of electric current. ==Characteristics== Mareep closely resemble a sheep, however, they have long, striped tails with a yellow ball at the tip. Their fleece is yellow, while their bodies are a dark blue color. Their ears are a rounded cone shape and channel the electricity that they keep in their fleece.<ref name=DVD>''Pokemon Johto Journeys; Volume 46 - Crimson Warrior'' Viz Video., [[September 25]], [[2001]]. ASIN B00005MM7E.</ref> Mareep are said to build up a stockpile of static electricity by rubbing the fluffy woolen fleece on their body, with that of other Mareep. The electricity is then stored in their fleece, and will shock predators on contact. The more electricity that is stored, the brighter the ball on the tip of a Mareep's tail is thought to glow. In summer, the fleece is fully shed, but would grow back within a week. Mareep also are thought to store air in the fleece, enabling it to control its body temperature whatever the weather.<ref>The in-game [[Pokédex]]es of the ''Pokémon'' video games ([http://www.psypokes.com/dex/pokedex.php?id=179&view=general A copy of them from ''Psypokes.com''.]) URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]].</ref> ==Appearances== Mareep are obtained in the wild in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'']] and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Silver'']], but they must be traded from either of these two games to obtain them in ''[[Pokémon Crystal]]''.<ref name=card>[http://www.psypokes.com/dex/pokedex.php?id=179&view=location List of Mareep locations in ''Pokémon Gold'', ''Silver'' and ''Advanced Generation''] ''Psypokes.com''.

Contrary to common belief, Mareep and its evolutions are unable to learn the ''Tail Glow'' technique, and they also are unable to learn ''Explosion''. ==Anime== Mareep have appeared once in the Pokémon anime, in "Episode 141. Mild 'n' Wooly", as a group of Mareep, led by a worried and absent minded shepherd, Mary, who aspired to become a Pokémon trainer with her Mareep, Fluffy. Ash's Pikachu and Mary's mother's [[Raichu]], used their shocking powers to help corral a herd of Mareep, until Team Rocket tried to steal the whole herd of Mareep, but were stopped by Mary and Fluffy. In this episode when Mary battles Ash, she commands Fluffy to use 'Speed Star' which is really just Swift. ==Manga== ==Trading Card Game== [[File:Mareep_c.jpg|thumb|right|Mareep in the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game''.]] The ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'' is a [[collectible card game]] similar in goal to a Pokémon battle in the video game series; players must use cards (with individual strengths and weaknesses) in an attempt to defeat their opponent by "knocking out" all of his cards.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-tcg.com/p_strategy/rulebooks/book_68.jsp#433 ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' "How to play" guide] ''Pokemon-tcg.com''.
