14	-> '''Elora:''' Oh, hello. We didn't get the chance to introduce ourselves before. My name is Elora.\
15	'''Spyro:''' Uh, hi. I'm Spyro. What are you, some kind of goat?\
16	'''Elora:''' I'm a faun, you dork!

19	Fauns and Satyrs, while originally quite different, have often been [[CompositeCharacter fused together]], both in the original myths and modern fiction, which is why they share a page. Both are human from the waist up, but fauns have the legs of deer, while satyrs have the legs of goats. Both may have pointed ears, or horns, or both -- and for some reason, both are very likely to be male (though fauns seem a bit more likely to have females.)
20
21	Originally, Satyrs had the tail and ears of either horses or donkeys, though later they acquired goat legs, becoming almost identical to fauns. Their goat parts may be a reminder of their [[GruesomeGoat nasty nature]]. In earlier Greek art they were portrayed as quite ugly, though later they became more youthful and graceful. They were associated with [[ReallyGetsAround sex]], [[TheAlcoholic wine]], and [[MagicalFlutist pipe]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking playing]] (the Classical Greek equivalent of SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll). They also laughed at everything, and had reverence for none but their patron deity, Pan.
22
23	A faun, more akin to deer than to goats, would be the satyr's more gentle and retiring cousin, preferring the forest to the field. They live in harmony with nature, and are generally just low-key and peaceful. They also had goat legs originally, though now they also have deer legs in popular art (maybe because ''faun'' sounds like ''fawn?'')
24
25	The most famous of all goat people is the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology great god Pan]], and his Roman counterpart Faunus/Inuus. Pan was the god of all wild creatures, and [[TheTrickster had a trickster streak a mile wide]]. Despite his wildness and temper (his shouts would inspire ''pan''-ic in all who heard him) he was [[GentleGiant a true friend to shepherds and little critters]]. And if your Satyr lives underground in a cavern full of flame, well, he might be [[BigRedDevil a bit nastier...]]

27	See OurCentaursAreDifferent for a similar half-man half-beast creature from Myth/ClassicalMythology.

33	[[folder:Advertising]]
34	* Dominoes ran an infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUpn_swtLCE series of ads]] featuring a faun coming in to [[LetsMeetTheMeat complain about not being on their 8 meats pizza]].
35	[[/folder]]
36
37	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
38	* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': Fauns and satyrs are shown to be separate species, being sheep-like and goat-like liminals respectively. Personality-wise, they are {{Foil}}s of each other: satyrs are dark-skinned, sharp-tongued and aggressive and one of THE most [[ReallyGetsAround sex-crazed]] liminals shown in the series, with only the melusine [[SnakePeople lamia]] giving them any real competition. Fauns are light-skinned, gentle, shy, and fitting for a species that represents purity and chastity...[[{{Subverted}} they're every bit as lustful as satyrs]], while just being more [[CovertPervert covert]] and [[NiceGirl polite]] about it.
39	* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Caesar Clown's GasMaskMooks look like this when they don't wear their suits. [[spoiler:They used to be fully human, but they lost the use of their legs due to the poisonous gas on Punk Hazard, so they were given new animal legs by Trafalgar Law.]]
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	[[folder:Art]]
43	* ''Art/NymphsAndSatyr'': A satyr from Myth/ClassicalMythology is being abducted by a group of nymphs. He has long ears and hoofed, hairy legs.
44	* ''Satyr'' by Creator/GabrielGrun features a standing female figure with goat legs that evokes the classic faun or satyr.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Comic Books]]
48	* In ''ComicBook/ArakSonOfThunder'', one of Arak's travelling companions was Satyricus; the cowardly and lecherous '[[LastOfHisKind last of the satyrs]]'. He frequently [[BadHabits disguised himself as a monk]] as the robe concealed his goat's feet.
49	* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'''s long-forgotten character [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Woodgod_(Earth-616) Woodgod]] resembles one. He's actually biologically engineered.
50	* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
51	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Circe transforms Maj. Keith Griggs into a humanoid goat-like beast when she overwrites his mind. He retains his human arms and humanoid torso but his legs and head are those of a large goat.
52	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': During "The Witch and the Warrior" Circe transforms ComicBook/TheJoker into a Satyr. This does very little to slow him down and he becomes a major wrench in her mass murdering plans when he teams up with ComicBook/LexLuthor, who knows how to work with him and gives him far more respect than Circe.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:Fan Works]]
56	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' and ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos'' crossover ''Fanfic/TheGodsAwaken'', One of Nyarlathotep's forms is a goat-like humanoid known as the Black Man which coincidentally is a reference to the form he would take when acquiring acolytes in ''Literature/TheDreamsInTheWitchHouse''.
57	* "Satyrs" have become somewhat popular on 4Chan's [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic /mlp/]] board and [[FanCommunityNicknames brony]] sites like Derpibooru. Essentially they are the theoretical offspring of Anonymous and one of the ponies, with the entire Mane 6 having Fanon satyr children all with generally agreed-upon appearances and personalities. A number of minor characters like [[OurGriffinsAreDifferent Gilda]] and Chrysalis have been done as well, and even one of the Diamond Dogs [[note]]a semi-humanoid dog in canon[[/note]].
58	* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': The owner of the circus Spectra works for is a satyr named Qalek.
59	[[/folder]]
60
61	[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
62	* ''WesternAnimation/AllegroNonTroppo'' features an elderly satyr chasing after nymphs, with no success.
63	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'': The "Pastoral Symphony" segment includes faun kids among its menagerie of mythological creatures.
64	* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' alters Philoctetes, a human who lit Heracles's funeral pyre and was perhaps his lover, into Philoctetes "Phil" the satyr, an EccentricMentor to Hercules and a ChivalrousPervert (as well as a Creator/DannyDeVito [[InkSuitActor look-alike]]).
65	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'': [[BigBad The Storm King]] has a mostly non-human satyric appearance, being essentially a [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yeti]] with goat-like hooves and [[HornsOfVillainy horns]].
66	* ''WesternAnimation/TheWindInTheWillows1995'' is one of the few adaptations of [[Literature/TheWindInTheWillows the book]] to feature the "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" chapter, an ArcadianInterlude in which Mr. Otter's son [[MissingChild goes missing]] at the height of summer. Mr. Rat follows his distinctly mystical intuition, and eventually finds the boy under the protection of a mysterious satyr-like nature spirit. It's some of the nicest animation in the film, with a truly surreal mood of summertime delirium as the Piper's outline fades into the trees.
67	--->'''Mr. Mole''': Ratty, are you afraid?\
68	'''Mr. Rat''': Of him? Never.
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
72	* ''Film/SevenFacesOfDrLao'': One of Dr. Lao's titular faces is Pan, the pipe-playing God of Joy.
73	* In ''Film/DemonKnight'' the demonic {{Mooks}} summoned by [[BigBad the Collector]] have long cloven hooves.
74	* The [[TheKrampus title character]] of ''Film/{{Krampus}}'' has a bit of this in his design, with his goatlike qualities emphasized. He never see his face, but it's implied to be more full BeastMan than most examples of this trope, but he does wear a more human-like mask, making him resemble a more twistedly festive incarnation of this trope.
75	-->What kind of goat walks on its hind legs?
76	* In ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', Torgo is meant to be one, but instead just looks like a guy with wonky knees.
77	* ''Film/{{Monkeybone}}'''s portrayal of Hypnos (''Greek God of Sleep'') is this but shorter with brown skinned.
78	* ''Film/PansLabyrinth'' has a faun, although, in a twist authorized by the RuleOfCreepy, he seems to be made mostly of rotting wood, thus representing a [[Main/{{Planimal}} fusion of both the animal and vegetable realms of nature]].
79	* ''Film/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': Grover is a satyr. Unlike his shyer book counterpart, movie Grover is much more openly interested in every girl, especially daughters of Aphrodite.
80	* ''Film/RareExportsAChristmasTale'': What little we in see of [[spoiler:the [[BadSanta real Santa Claus]]]] implies him to be a creature like this.
81	[[/folder]]
82
83	[[folder:Gamebooks]]
84	* ''Literature/{{Sorcery}}'': The fourth book has an all-female race of satyrs, called She-satyrs, who lives in the mountains outside of the Mampang fortress. They are not hostile unlike most of the encounters in the book, and will help you in your quest by giving you essential items for your journey.
85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Literature]]
88	* ''Literature/AlmostNight''. Hope is a female satyr, and a couple satyrs pop up as extras.
89	* In Matt Bell's 2021 science-fiction/fantasy novel ''Appleseed'', there are two major faun characters.
90	* ''L'après-midi d'un faune'' (''The Afternoon of a Faun'') is a poem by Stéphane Mallarmé. Claude Debussy adapted it into a symphonic-poem ''Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune'' and it was adapted into a ballet as ''Afternoon of a Faun'' by Vaslav Nijinsky, Jerome Robbins, and Tim Rushton.
91	* In Umberto Ecco's ''Literature/{{Baudolino}}'', the title character eventually learns that under her dress, his beloved Hypatia has goat legs, because the people of her LadyLand have had no males to mate with in generations except the local satyrs. He's shocked, but decides he still loves her anyway.
92	* ''Literature/BookOfImaginaryBeings'': The Greeks called them satyrs, the Romans called them fauns, pans or sylvans. They have the legs of goats, short horns, pointed ears and hooked noses. They are fond of wine, dancing, chasing nymphs and playing the flute, and are attendants of Bacchus.
93	* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': Fauns are common natives of Narnia, along with satyrs. The difference between them is that fauns have long tails, and satyrs have goat tails. [[Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia The films]] expand this difference, making fauns human from the waist up with regular goat tails while satyrs look more like human-sized goats that walk on their hind legs.
94	* ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos'':
95	** ''Literature/TheDunwichHorror'': [[spoiler:Wilbur Whateley is a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-]]EldritchAbomination, but he's very similar to a satyr. He has elongated ears, "goatish" facial features, legs covered in black fur, and hooves. And [[BodyHorror other less pleasant features]]]].
96	** ''Literature/TheDreamQuestOfUnknownKadath'': [[spoiler: The Men of Leng are essentially satyrs. They can pass as human, as long as they wear turbans which cover their horns.]]
97	* ''Literature/DamselsOfDistress'': Satyrs pop up here and there. One of them is a cowboy.
98	* ''Literature/DarkHollow'' has a satyr is the villain.
99	* ''Literature/DragonCalling'': One of the [[FiveManBand primary characters]] in the series is a satyr named, Norf. He's the PluckyComicRelief and DeadpanSnarker of the group. Fauns and satyrs are of the smaller populations of creatures in the [[ConstructedWorld land of Valadae]]; most reside in the forests of the southern kingdom of Gelian and are lovers of nature and music.
100	* The ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'' gang meets a bunch of satyrs at one point. When they get a little too rowdy with April, David cuts one in half, which not only fails to kill him, but also lets the gang discover that they don't really have organs. The satyrs themselves are too drunk to care, the bisected one complaining that the wine is just pouring onto the ground. The bottom half follows them around, and is traded to a leprechaun for entry into their city.
101	* ''Literature/{{Fablehaven}}'': Satyrs have some of the qualities of the original mythical version (they're often seen trying to impress girls, and at one point, they offer Seth wine), but they're also TV addicts.
102	* ''Literature/TheFaerieQueene'' features satyrs, first as a group of surprisingly pious forest dwellers who even have a half-satyr knight living among them, Sir Satyrane. Later, a separate band of satyrs are depicted as the usual riotous sex maniacs.
103	* ''Literature/TheFirebringerTrilogy'' has "pans," which are basically blue-skinned fauns.
104	* ''Literature/TheFiresOfArcadia'', by G. B. Harrison, features genetically-engineered human-goat hybrids that act a bit like creatures of folklore.
105	* Though never glimpsed on-screen, Fauns are featured prominently in the [[CosmicHorrorStory Cosmic Horror Stories]] of Creator/ArthurMachen, particularly ''Literature/TheGreatGodPan''. According to Machen's cosmology, the myths and folktales of creatures such as Fauns and [[TheFairFolk Fairies]] are actually [[LighterAndSofter heavily sterilized]] accounts of [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow truths too terrible to contemplate]], with all the bits that might make someone GoMadFromTheRevelation edited out.
106	* ''Literature/{{Halvgudene}}'': Fauns are one of the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces many races]] of Tiladnen.
107	* ''Literature/HyperionCantos'': Martin Silenus undergoes SpaceOpera style [[MagicPlasticSurgery body modifications]] to turn himself into a satyric figure. He eventually gets it changed back.
108	* ''Literature/InCryptid'': Ithaca, the {{Arcadia}}n [[AnotherDimension dimension]] that Alice visits sometimes, is home to satyrs and [[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaurs]]. Two satyrs, Helen and her wife Phoebe, are friends/allies of Alice.
109	* ''Literature/TheMarbleFaun'': The faun is a statue by [[Art/VenusDeMilo Praxiteles]], which is almost totally human in form. The faun has a human counterpart, however, in the novel's Donatello (no, not [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles that one]]), Count of Monti Beni.
110	* ''Literature/OlogySeries'': In ''Monsterology'', fauns are goat-legged and –horned humanoids with pointed ears; they cannot speak, but communicate with a complex system of panpipe melodies.
111	* ''Literature/TheOrphansTales'' series features the Gaselli, who are obviously enough more related to Gazelle, but have a similar motif. A race of nature oriented beings with cloven hooves. They tend to be more interested in [[ImAHumanitarian food]] than sex however. Eshkol and her family represent more traditional version of this trope.
112	* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': Here and in the sequel series ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'', Satyrs and Fauns both are half-man/half-goat, but their personalities and roles are different depending on if they are Greek or Roman creatures. The Greek satyrs help find and protect demigods till they get to Camp Halfblood and serve the camp in various ways. The Roman Fauns are lazy beggars and thiefs who hang around Camp Jupiter bothering people for any food or money they are willing to spare or stealing things left unattended.
113	* ''Literature/{{Satyrday}}'': Matthew is ages old, but is quite irresponsible, with [[ImmortalImmaturity a mind of a child.]] Bonus points for having a pipe and being quite skilled with it.
114	* In ''Literature/ThisImmortal'', there are satyrs in inland Greece, although they are the result of genetic mutations caused by nuclear pollution and superstition, with people abandoning their {{mutant\|s}} newborns in the forest and some of those babies growing up to become satyrs. Satyrs are said to be of subhuman, limited intelligence and to love dance and pipe playing, but to otherwise be very shy.
115	* ''Literature/ThroughTheIce'': Rame is in self-exile from the community of satyrs because he considers himself a faun. While he is less obsessed with sex and thus somewhat more acceptable to humans, his fellow satyrs treat him like a pervert.
116	* ''Literature/TheWindInTheWillows'': In a chapter often expurgated, Mole and Rat search the river for a lost otter child and find him safe at the feet of Pan himself.
117	* ''Literature/WitchesOfEileanan'', by Kate Forsyth, has "satyricorns". While they ''mostly'' look like the traditional model in appearance (except for being seven feet tall, having a variable number and arrangement of horns, and having six mammaries) and behavior (albeit towards the [[RapePillageAndBurn nastier]] [[CombatPragmatist side]]), they zigzag the trope by being primarily ''female''.
118	* In ''Literature/{{Wolfwinter}}'', one of Thomas Burnett Swann's many stories drawing on classical mythology, a human woman searches for the satyr who fathered her child. Swann's portrayals of non-humans can involve BlueAndOrangeMorality.
119	* In ''Literature/{{Xanth}}'', Fauns love chasing nymphs and simulating summoning the stork with them.
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
123	* An episode of ''Series/BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury'' called "The Satyr" featured a planet where colonists were destroyed by a virus that turned men into violent, gluttonous satyrs.
124	* Ziegevolk in ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' are clearly satyr-inspired, being pointy-eared goat-like humanoids prone to lustful behavior.
125	* ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'' and ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' have featured satyrs. They're regarded as mostly harmless frat boy types.
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:Music]]
129	* The Beast in Music/{{Genesis\|Band}}' ''Music/ATrickOfTheTail'' resembles one on the album cover. He ventured into the human world and considered the beings strange for lacking horns or a tail, and that's before [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters they captured him and made him into a freak show exhibit as "the beast that can talk"]].
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]
133	* The original [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauns Fauns]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyr Satyrs]] are the TropeNamers.
134	* While the pucca from [[Myth/IrishMythology Irish folklore]] can look however they like, being skilled shapeshifters, one of their common "base forms" is a satyr-like being with goat horns and and/or hooves.
135	* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaistig Glaistigs]] from Scottish mythology are similar to satyrs. [[OneGenderRace Apparently, they were exclusively female.]]
136	* The Greek nature god Pan and his Roman counterpart Faunus, which is clearly the same word as 'faun'.
137	** The Gaulish/Celtic hunter god Cernunnos is sometimes the Celtic counterpart of Pan/Faunus.
138	*** The Horned God, a variation on Cernunnos, is worshiped in certain pagan/Wiccan circles.
139	*** The English ghost[=/=]spirit Herne the Hunter who even acts as English pagan counterpart of Pan/Faunus with [[{{Fanon}} few portrayals in fiction]] is sometimes like a Deer-like satyr with Deer head or not.
140	* TheKrampus is mostly based on this combined with Satan, and he is [[BadSanta a dark equivalent of Santa Claus]] in South-east German traditions.
141	* Satan and his demons are often [[{{Fanon}} depicted similarly to fauns]], (though never in Literature/TheBible) having cloven hooves and horns, with the addition of a long tail with a arrow head shape at the end, (sometimes) bat wings, and a bright red color. See BigRedDevil.
142	* "Satyr" is the translation of the Hebrew ''se'irim'' given in [[Literature/TheBible the King James Bible]], referring to a type of demon. In everyday ancient Hebrew, this term also simply referred to male goats.
143	* Goatmans are recurring characters in multiple UrbanLegends from the U.S.A. Interestingly, all of them wield an axe as their [[WeaponSpecialization weapon of choice]].
144	** Maryland's Goatman: One version claims [[WasOnceAMan he was a normal human turned into a goat hybrid]] possibly by genetic engineering.
145	** Texas Goatman/Lake Worth Monster: It haunts the aforementioned Lake and has the most goat-like appearance of the bunch.
146	** Kentucky's Pope Lick Monster: Said to live under a railway bridge with one of its origin stories claiming it was a Circus Freak that escaped and now kills people who dare enter its home.
147	* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huay_Chivo Huay Chivo]] of Mayan legend is an evil sorcerer who can transform into a humanoid, demonic goat to carry out his evil deeds.
148	* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choctaw_mythology Choctaw legend]] has the Kashehotapalo, described as a short, ugly man with a deer's legs. It has a high-pitched scream (its name literally means "woman's call") that it uses to scare away hunters. That detail is so similar to [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Pan]] that many scholars believe that the legend was at least partly influenced by white settlers.
149	[[/folder]]
150
151	[[folder: Podcasts]]
152	* ''Podcast/TheThrillingAdventureHour'': The "Beyond Belief" episode "Second Star to the Wrong" features a creature called the Pan. While primarily a PeterPanParody, he has goat legs reminiscent of Pan the god to add to the pun of his name. His second episode, "Straight on til Mourning", also has him referred to as a Satyr.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
156	* ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming'': Satyrs are one of the kith. However, satyrs within the World of Darkness exemplify passion in general -- not just sex and drunkenness. Thus there may be satyrs who are passionate about debate or running (goat legs mean they're fast).
157	* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' has satyrs that are a combination of the fauns and satyrs of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek mythology]]. They like to party and they're great panpipe musicians, but generally spend their days frolicking in the woods. The 3.5 edition of ''Deities and Demigods'' also offers stats on fauns as a separate, less powerful race (who unlike satyrs explicitly come in both male and female forms.) Also worth mentioning are the Ibixians, a race of humanoid goats.
158	* ''TabletopGame/{{Godforsaken}}'': Satyrs are muscular humanoids with long horns and goatlike legs. They are amoral, selfish hedonists, and happily resort to theft, lies and trickery to sustain lives dedicated to food, drink and other sybaritic pleasures.
159	* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'': In ''GURPS Dungeon Fantasy'', Saturs are a possible character race, which includes females as well.
160	* ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'': Satyrs are more like goat-headed [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent minotaurs]] than the original. In ''Hordes'', the Circle Oboros fields them as [[BeastOfBattle Beasts of War]] to defend and carry out the wills of their Warlocks. How intelligent they are isn't mentioned much, but at least one was smart enough to become a ''Shaman.''
161	* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
162	** The first satyr to appear in the game, [[https://scryfall.com/card/mmq/257/lumbering-satyr Lumering Satyr]], is a bizarre, hornless, elephant-skinned creatures with large class.
163	** Satyrs are first introduced as a valid creature type in the ''Theros'' block. They are depicted basically as duplicitous, almost downright ''evil'' hedonists: they depict themselves as happy, joyful free spirits that provide entertainment for free, but their more secret revels are violent and extremely depraved (there's a reason said revels are called called [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Bakkeia"]]), and they lure humans into being their servants, humiliating them all the while. Basically, a very, ''very'' dark version of TheFairFolk, which is no small accomplishment, given the competition.
164	** Xenagos is a satyr planeswalker from Theros that used to be like those above, but after ascending and exploring the multiverse he realised he was utterly insignificant. So he returns to Theros with [[GodhoodSeeker one thing in mind...]]
165	* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'':
166	** Satyrs and fauns are two types of fey, with some significant differences. The former are [[OneGenderRace exclusively male]] [[TheHedonist hedonists]] with a penchant for seducing young women, while the latter can in fact be female (though female fauns are rare) and are much more gentle (unless [[BerserkButton you mistake them for a satyr]]). Interestingly, the first fauns were (and many later ones still are) actually [[InTheBlood born from the copulation of satyrs with particularly Good women]].
167	** There are also the seilenos, resembling hornless and portly middle-aged satyrs with a strong affinity for raw, passionate emotions and mind-altering substances. They’re just as hedonistic as regular satyrs, and are popular among other fae creatures due to their skill as storytellers and at inciting revels and inflaming emotions. As such, they’re commonly accompanied by groups of other fae creatures, including satyrs.
168	* ''TabletopGame/RuneQuest'':
169	** Satyrs are a kind of Beast Men with the upper torsos and heads of large gnarled men and the lower parts of either horses or goats. They have long curled horns like those of goats and rams.
170	** Broos can resemble any animal, since they reproduce by impregnating other creatures and can breed with literally anything, but most have the features of goats and sheep due their being very common as both wild animals and livestock.
171	* ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'': Two distinct types of satyrs exist:
172	** The first is a metatype of ork distinguished by caprine horns and hooves. They're far more prone to developing magical powers than other metahumans, and most are shamans who follow the totem Bacchus.
173	** The second -- referred to as "wild satyr" -- is an Awakened version of the wild goat, largely resembling a bipedal ungulate with three-fingered hands. They mostly live in the wilderness and often associate with centaurs, and their saliva can ferment sugary liquids into alcohol.
174	* ''TabletopGame/{{Tephra}}'': Satyrs are a bioengineered race created by the Haudi Empire, only recently freed from a life of slavery.
175	* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'': Beastmen, especially the goat- and sheep-headed and -legged Gors, are about all the darkest parts of this put together, embodying every unpleasant trait of mythical satyrs -- their wild and aggressive natures, their impulsiveness, their depravity -- exaggerated, worsened, and flavored with worship of dark and evil gods, barbarous savagery, pathological hatred for civilization, and plenty of fangs and spikes.
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Theatre]]
179	* The famous Greek {{traged\|y}}ies originally came in tetralogies. The first three were traditional tragedies following some sort of story arch. The final play was a Satyr play which satirized the first three (though "satyr" and "satire" aren't actually etymologically related) and also made tasteless jokes about well-known people. They were so-called because the actors wore fur leggings and big fake leather cocks, like satyrs. Of the hundreds of ancient satyr plays only one still exists today, Creator/{{Euripides}}' ''The Cyclops'', which is indeed a ribald satirical depiction of the cyclops island passage of ''Literature/TheOdyssey''.
180	[[/folder]]
181
182	[[folder:Video Games]]
183	* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology:'' Satyrs are available in The Titans expansion pack to Atlantean players who worship Hyperion. They are elite skirmisher units who throw javelins.
184	* ''VideoGame/TheBattleOfOlympus'': Satyrs show up as FragileSpeedster {{mooks}} in Attica.
185	* ''VideoGame/{{Battlerite}}'': Blossom is called a faun in her bio, although she's half-deer instead of half-goat.
186	* Lucas, one of your newest customers in ''VideoGame/CoffeeTalk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly'', is a satyr, judging by the goat horns on his head and the goat legs on his full pic of himself in one of his status updates. He also comes from a OneGenderRace, which is why it took his species a while to be legally recognized as Sapient (intelligent and bipedal) beings.
187	* ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'': [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] looks like a satyr in his smaller, BishonenLine form, horns, hooves, and all. He even has a GagPenis that the Satyrs were depicted with in classical artwork.
188	* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' has Goatmen, which are actually demons and not related to either goats or humans.
189	* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2'': Goat demons appear as EliteMooks and are collectively called the "Goat Clan". They come in three variants, from the weakest to the strongest; Goatlings, Blood Goats, and Abyss Goats. The latter two tend to fly and utilize magic during combat.
190	* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'': Satyrs show up in the bestiary. They use their flutes as a weapon.
191	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series has an example in the Herne, a race of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent lesser Daedra]] who invoke this in appearance. They are humanoid, but have [[HornedHumanoid goat-like horns]], tails, and cloven feet.
192	* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'', [[SummonMagic Ifrit]] has the appearance of a satyr wearing a red, horned helmet.
193	* ''VideoGame/GemsOfWar'': The region of Pan's Vale is home to them, as befits its name. The units which can be fought and recruited there reflect this (notably the Satyr unit and the Faunessa unit).
194	* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': Satyrs feature as some of the [[EliteMooks toughest regular enemies]].
195	* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji\|2016}}'': Satyrs appear despite this being a game set in ''Heian'' period Japan and is specifically about Japanese mythology.
196	* ''VideoGame/RadiantHistoria'': One of the two races of Beastmen , the appropriately-named Satyros, take this form.
197	* ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage/Gateway to Glimmer'' has both fauns ''and'' satyrs. In addition to primary character Elora, there are humanoid-looking fauns and satyrs in the Fracture Hills, and smaller more monster-y looking fauns in the Magma Cone. Exactly what differentiates them is not entirely clear. It's also worth noting that the Fracture Hills fauns, and to a lesser extant Elora, aren't all that humanoid to begin with. The ones in Fracture Hills in particular look more like anthropomorphic wolves with goat legs. Also in Fracture Hills the fauns are all female and the satyrs are male, while in Magma Core the fauns seem to be mostly male.
198	* ''VideoGame/ATotalWarSagaTroy'': Satyrs are a type of agents available to players who court Aphrodite's favor. They're bearded human men who wear goat furs and horned headdresses, and can play a number of songs to boost a region's production or lower enemy moral. The implication, as part of the game's LegendFadesToMyth conceit, is as tales of historic events were distorted over the centuries these men came to be remembered as literally goat-legged and horned figures.
199	* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has Beatrice's Goat Butlers who can devour humans such as those who lost in Beatrice's game.
200	* ''VideoGame/VillageMonsters'': Dio, one of the residents of the MonsterTown, is a satyr.
201	* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' has several of these:
202	** Satyrs are night elves corrupted by demonic influences, resembling red-skinned humanoids with hooves and tall, straight horns.
203	** Some sources mention the centaurine dryads as having the lower bodies of fauns, but given that every other source and every depiction of them shows them with the bodies of deer this was most likely a misspelling of "fawn".
204	** The latest expansion ''Shadowlands'' introduces us to the Sylvar: inhabitants of Ardenweald who serve as the caretakers of the realm of rebirth where Wild Gods and those connected with Nature dwell as they slumber awaiting to be reborn to serve the Wilds once again.
205	* ''VideoGame/WillRock'': Satyrs appear as mooks armed with bows.

208	[[folder:Webcomics]]
209	* ''Webcomic/TheHorrifyingExperimentsOfDrPleasant'': Ursula has horns and goat legs bellow her knees.
210	* In ''Webcomic/MenInHats'', Aram tells Gamal [[http://meninhats.com/d/20030926.html he used to be one of these]], before the forest burned down, the animals died and his goat legs "turned into butterflies and flew away."
211	* ''Webcomic/SkinDeep'': Fauns and satyrs are separate species, but are very closely related and often mingle and interbreed with one another. They share a basic body plan -- human with the ears, legs and horns of an ungulate mammal -- and hands with three fingers and hoof-like nails.
212	** Satyrs come most commonly in the classical goat form, but hornless, horse-based satyrs also exist. Both groups tend to resemble specific species or breeds of caprines and equines; donkey and zebra-based horse satyrs are known to exist, although they're rare. They're one of the most common species among European mythical creatures.
213	** Fauns resemble deer instead; they possess full-body, mottled fur, deer tails and antlers.

217	* ''WebAnimation/{{Brackenwood}}'': Though his species is named "Dashkin", Bitey is quite similar to a faun, being a woodland-dwelling humanoid with goat legs and horns, though his face is furry. He is also [[FragileSpeedster extremely fast]] and an amoral trickster.
218	* Fauns and satyrs are separate species in ''Literature/LoomingGaia''. The most notable differences are that satyrs have goat-like horns, are poor magic users and are physically stronger, while fauns have antlers, are better magic users, and are physically weaker. In-universe, they are often mistaken for each other.
