History Main / FaunsAndSatyrs

** In ''{{GURPS}}'' Dungeon Fantasy, Saturs are a possible character race, which includes females as well.

* Though his species is named "the Dashkin", Bitey in ''{{Brackenwood}}'' is quite similar to a faun, with goat legs and horns, though his face is furry. He is also [[FragileSpeedster extremely fast]] and an amoral trickster.

* One of the two races of Beastmen in ''RadiantHistoria'', the appropriately-named Satyros, take this form.

* The famous Greek [[{{Tragedy}} tragedies]] 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 (hence satire, from satyr) 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.

* In ''Literature/{{Xanth}}'', Fauns love chasing nymphs and simulating [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean summoning the stork]] with them.

* ''The Orphan's Tales'' 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.

* [[ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo.]] is meant to be one, but instead just looks like a guy with wonky knees.

* In {{Xanth}}, Fauns love chasing nymphs and simulating [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean summoning the stork]] with them.

* Disney's {{Hercules}} has Phil the satyr, he was Hercules friend and trainer. He was also quite perverted, but being a Disney film he went through {{Bowdlerization}} to a ChivalrousPervert.

* ''The Orphan's Tales'' 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]] then sex however.

* Mallerme's poem, the tone-poem based on the poem, and the ballet based on the tone-poem, all sharing a name: L'Apres-midi d'un faun (TheAfternoonOfAFaun).

* The satyrs in WillRock are mooks armed with bows.

* Satyrs appear in the ''Literature\{{Fablehaven}}'' books. They have some of the qualities of the original satyrs (they're often seen trying to impress girls, and at one point, they offer Seth wine), but they're also TV addicts.

Other goat people include the Greek god Pan, his Roman counterpart Faunus/Inuus, and in some [[BigRedDevil depictions,]] Satan.

* In the [[PercyJacksonandTheOlympians Camp Half-Blood]] [[TheHeroesofOlympus Universe]] Satyrs and Fauns are considered as the same things

* ''{{Diablo}}'' has Goatmen, which are actually demons and not related to either goats or humans.

* Mr. Tumnus, a faun in the TheChroniclesOfNarnia. Also, other fauns are mentioned thoughout the series, along with satyrs. The difference between them is that fauns have long tails, and satyrs have goat tails. The recent films expanded this difference, and made fauns human from the waist up with regular got tails, and satyrs looking more like human-sized goats that walk on their hind legs.

** There are also actual satyrs. Mistaking the two for one another is ''not'' a good idea. The Broos are chaos creatures that breed by raping any creatures that are availble, and their offspring takes features of those creatures. Farm animals, especially goats are apparently most easily available for them.

* Broos in ''RuneQuest''.
