goat god
Horned forest spirit
A goat god is a deity depicted with goat features—typically horns, cloven hooves, or goat legs on a human torso.
Pan in Greek mythology is the archetypal goat god, associated with wilderness, shepherds, and lustful pursuit.
The image influenced later depictions of fauns, satyrs, and eventually the Christian Devil.
The goat god played his pipes in the forest clearing.
