fauns
Half-goat forest spirits
Fauns are creatures from Roman mythology with a human upper body and the legs, horns, and tail of a goat.
Associated with forests, fertility, and rustic revelry, they appear in classical art and literature as playful, lustful nature spirits.
The faun is often conflated with the Greek satyr, though satyrs were traditionally more goat-like and wild.
