Description
A quick sketch I did of various goat men found in mythology.Satyr - The hybrid goat and human being that appeared in Greek mythology, they are known for their sexual nature and carefree lifestyle.
Marțolea - Resembling goat-like humanoids in their true forms, these Romanian shapeshifters hunt during holy ceremonies and days on which work is forbidden, and will attempt to lure women into their mountain habitat using hypnotic singing. If their victims follow them, and thus commit a crime against their religion, they will be ripped to pieces by the monsters, and their intestines will be nailed to walls and the surfaces of mountains.
Korred - Found in French countryside of Brittany, these diminutive faeries are thought to be relatives of trolls, and appear as stocky shaggy-haired humanoids with goat-like legs, long claws and wrinkled skin. They are considered to be expert coiners or smiths, and are known to keep large hoards of treasure in the dolmens around which they dance at night. While dancing, they will sometimes invite humans to join them, and this will result in the deaths of the humans if the faeries are not beaten.
Verbouc - Found in Belgium and Germany, these Satanic humanoids resemble satyrs or hybrids of humans and goats, and often appear to isolated villagers after they have suffered through great disasters or tragedies such as fires or raids on their lands. They will offer them bets and deals with gold as the prize, but if they lose they will be dragged to Hell. It is for this reason that the caprine shapeshifters are believed to act as emissaries of Satan.
Longana - Appearing as semi-aquatic feminine humanoids with goat-like hind limbs, these Italian faeries are thought to be related to nymphs or satyrs, and are often found living in closely-knit groups near coves or cliffs in the Cadore region. They are said to regularly converse with other spirits, providing them with extraordinary knowledge of natural events. There is a story about one of them marrying a man on the condition that he disregard her supernatural origins. (I know I drew a male)
