goatlike
Like a billy
Goatlike means resembling a goat in appearance or behavior.
The word most often describes facial features—a narrow face, a pointed beard, elongated features—or movement on steep terrain: He scrambled up the rocks with goatlike agility.
It can also suggest stubbornness or a rank smell.
