Ahhh.... but do you mean the Highland Haggis or the Lowland Haggis?
(The highland haggis has shorter legs on one side so that it can stand up straight on the side of hills, but it can only walk clockwise around the hill, going the other way makes it fall over!)
That's how you hunt them of course. You leap out of a bush and frighten them into turning around to run off, and they roll down the hill into the carefully positioned net you put there earlier.
Also, it's only the females that have a clockwise bias, the males have the short legs on the other side meaning they have to go anti-clockwise. This makes mating a very delicate balancing act which not all of them get the hang of. Which, coupled with the hunting outlined above, explains why the Highland Haggis population is declining in the wild. I expect most people have never even seen one outside of captivity.
An old poachers' trick is to leave a trail of rocking horse droppings. Apparently the Haggises go for the stuff like cats with catnip.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
