History Main / FaunsAndSatyrs

* The Beast in Music/{{Genesis}}' ''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"]].

* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': Fauns and satyrs are shown to be separate species, being sheep-like and 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 [[AnythingThatMoves 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'': The main [[BigBad villain]], the Storm King, has a mostly non-human satyric appearance, being essentially a [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yeti]] with goat-like hooves and [[HornsOfVillainy horns]].

* Glaistigs from Scottish mythology are similar to satyrs. [[OneGenderRace Apparently, they were exclusively female.]]

*** The English ghost[=/=]spirit Herne the Hunter who even acts as English pagan counterpart of Pan/Faunus with [[{{Fanon}} few portrayals in fiction]] are sometimes like a Deer-like satyr with Deer head or not.

** Kentucky's Pope Lick Monster: Said to live under a railway bridge with one of its origin stories claiming it was a Cirus Freak that escaped and now kills people who dare enter its home.

* 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.

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': Goat demons appear in the second game as EliteMooks.

* ''WesternAnimation/SantiagooftheSeas'': Pepito the faun is a new villain introduced in season two who specializes in music and magic

* ''Literature/HyperionCantos'': Martin Silenus undergoes SpaceOpera style body modifications to turn himself into a satyric figure. He eventually gets it changed back.

* In ''Literature/ThisImmortal'', there are satyrs in inland Greece, although they are the result of genetic mustations caused by nuclear pollution and superstition, with people abandoning their mutant 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.

* ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'': Satyrs are more like goat-headed [[ALoadOfBull 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.''

* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'': Satyrs are night elves corrupted by demonic influences, resembling red-skinned humanoids with hooves and tall, straight horns. 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".

* ''TabletopGame/RuneQuest'': Broos. 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 available (all Broos are male), and their offspring takes features of those creatures. Farm animals, especially goats, are apparently most easily available for them.

* An episode of BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury called "The Satyr" featured a planet where colonists were destroyed by a virus that turned men into violent, gluttonous satyrs.

* In ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
** Prior to the ''Theros Block'', Magic had [[http://magiccards.info/mm/en/257.html a pretty weird satyr.]]
** In the ''Theros Block'', satyrs are first introduced as a valid creature type. 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.

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

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Tephra}}'', satyrs are a bio-engineered race created by the Haudi Empire, only recently freed from a life of slavery.

** [[ArcVillain 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 [[AGodAmI one thing in mind...]]

* ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'': Fauns and satyrs are shown to be separate species, being sheep-like and 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 [[AnythingThatMoves 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.

Fauns and Satyrs, while originally quite different, have often been 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.)

** Satyrs and fauns, while both part of the Fae, are differentiated significantly. 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]].

* ''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.

%%* ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'': Lucifer.%%ZCE

* 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/TheDreamsInWitchHouse''.

* ''Film/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': Grover is a satyr.
