The Flock are a herd of demonic sheep, and the remnants of Bill's drove. Technically, they belong to a class of being know as 'nightmares'.

[[The Flock]] are a herd of [[Nightmare|nightmares]], and the remnants of [[Bill Cipher]]'s flock. [[Dipper Pines|Dipper]] inherited them when he inherited Bill's power. They take the form of sheep or sheep-like creatures while serving Dipper. It is unclear if they took a different form while serving Bill.

Even after the universe ends, the Flock remains. The influx of new energy released when Dipper restarts everything transforms nightmares, including The Flock, into demons, and the dreams into angels.
At the end of the universe, Alcor and his Flock are the only remaining living beings. Alcor uses his power to ignite the creation of a new universe, and he shelters his Flock so that they survive this process. This influx of energy changes them into something different.

==Relationship with Dipper==
While in general, demons tend to merely tolerate the nightmares and occasionaly eat them, Dipper cares for his Flock.


Besides defending them against intruders, he also helps them out of dreamcatchers if needed. If harmed, he also uses his energy to heal them.
==Relationships==


Outside of the mindscape Dipper uses to summon them either just to visit his family or to give people certain dreams. For family and friends who have trouble sleeping he would call them to give them good dreams or to protect them. Similarly, he would send them to enemies to give them nightmares.
=== [[Alcor the Dreambender]] ===
Typically, demons tolerate nightmares because they make a quick and easy snack. They rarely put effort into protecting them. Dipper and his flock are an oddity in this sense, as Dipper expends his energy to protect his flock and heal them if they are injured. He's also been noted to help them out of dreamcatchers if they become snared.


Either way, he would also spend casual time with them in the mindscape. During such, he plays them music, talks to them and tells them about himself before he was their master or about events they did not see, but also listens when they talk to him.

Use the talk page to discuss changes that need to be made.

The Flock are a herd of nightmares, and the remnants of Bill Cipher's flock. Dipper inherited them when he inherited Bill's power. They take the form of sheep or sheep-like creatures while serving Dipper. It is unclear if they took a different form while serving Bill.

History

The Flock was inherited by Dipper along with Bill's power. It's most likely he first discovered them around the time he worked out he owned his own plot of the Mindscape.

They serve Alcor henceforth, and maintain the duty of protecting his corner of the Dreamscape from intruders. At first coming off as rather enigmatic, he proves to be a good influence on the sheep.

Later, the Flock would even adopt dreams—a helpless class of beings that nightmares normally devour—taking the form of lambs under their protection.

At the end of the universe, Alcor and his Flock are the only remaining living beings. Alcor uses his power to ignite the creation of a new universe, and he shelters his Flock so that they survive this process. This influx of energy changes them into something different. Alcor's nightmares become the demons of the new universe, and his dreams become the angels.[1]

Relationships

Alcor the Dreambender

Typically, demons tolerate nightmares because they make a quick and easy snack. They rarely put effort into protecting them. Dipper and his flock are an oddity in this sense, as Dipper expends his energy to protect his flock and heal them if they are injured. He's also been noted to help them out of dreamcatchers if they become snared.

He also spends time with them in the Mindscape. During such times, he plays music for them, talks to them, tells them about himself or about events they did not see, and listens when they talk to him.

He can summon them by performing the Lamby Lamby Dance.[2]

Pines Family & Reincarnations

Dipper occasionally brings the Flock out of the Mindscape to visit his family and friends or their reincarnations. The Flock is gentle with the humans that their master has entrusted them with, and have even been known to babysit Mabel's triplets.

Dipper also sends dreams from his flock to his family members who have trouble sleeping. Likewise, he sends his nightmares to torment his enemies.
