Physical Qualities

Satyrs are humanoid with the lower body of a goat and the upper body of a human. The exact details of their appearance varies widely from individual to individual.

Their heads bear ram's or goat's horns. These are highly variable in size and utility; some satyrs can use them as weapons. Ears are slightly pointed but not elongated, tough a few satyrs have animal ears. The humanoid torso is very human like, satyrs can easily disguise themselves as humans if they cover their legs and horns.

Males tend towards bigger horns and often sport curly sideburns or a goatee. Their body hair sometimes makes the transition from man-torso to goat-abdomen blurred. Females tend to hide their smaller horns in their profuse head hair.

Satyrs wear jewelry if they have it, garlands of flowers otherwise, but not much in the way of clothes; possible exceptions are a vest, jacket, tie, or cravat. Females sometimes wear long skirts that conceal their legs, and both genders can don robes and hoods as a disguise. Satyrs don't wear shoes, and any magical shoes the put on transform into leggings.

Satyrs have lifespans comparable to humans.

Playing a Satyr

Satyrs are hedonistic and wild, living for the moment and in the main refusing social restrictions and barriers. They enjoy wine, dancing, music, and lovemaking above all else. Female satyrs are sometimes called meneads, and prefer to provoke others into fighting rather than to fight themselves. Satyr heroes are rare, and tend to break with the norm, be more serious and involved. While they can see far-reaching goals, they still have trouble planning for tomorrow, and their companions often have to remind them of the urgency of their task. But once in motion, they work with great vigor.

Satyr names tend to be silly, pompous, or vulgar and are often full of innuendo.
