Note that the Spanish word is not the same as the English gregarious.
From a very scientific perspective, "ovine" gives reference to being "sheep-like". So, there is a word for "Sheep-like"... not sure if you could use it to describe "someone" displaying "sheep-like" behaviours.

Hope this helps...
