Mareep (Japanese: メリープ Merriep, German: Voltilamm, French: Wattouat) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen
If static electricity builds in its body, its fleece doubles in volume. Touching it will shock you.
Pokémon Crystal
It stores lots of air in its soft fur, allowing it to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
Pokémon Emerald
Its fluffy wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more energy is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.

Name origin

Mareep's name appears to be a combination of the word Mary — as in the girl who owned a little lamb in the nursery rhyme — and sheep. The French meaning is corruption of Cotton Watt. It's also a fun play on words since Watt and ouat are pronounced exactly the same way.

It appears to be simply based on a sheep, although it might borrow its electric aspect from the way wool builds up static charges.
