Fauns and Satyrs: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

Originally, Satyrs had the tail and ears of either horses or donkeys, though later they acquired goat legs, becoming almost identical with fauns. In earlier Greek art art they were portrayed as quite ugly, though later they became more youthful and graceful.

{{examples}}

 

* Caesar Clown's [[Gas Mask Mooks]] in ''[[One Piece]]'' are actually this. {{spoiler|They used to be fully human, but because they lost the use of their legs due to the poisonous gas on Punk Hazard, they were given new animal legs by Trafalgar Law}}.

== [[Film]] ==

* [[Disney]]'s ''[[Fantasia]]'' also includes fauns.

* ''[[Pan's Labyrinth|Pans Labyrinth]]'' has a faun.

 

== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==

* ''[[Shadowrun]]''. Both male and female satyrs have large curling horns like a bighorn sheep. They're implied to be the Awakened version of the wild goat. Their saliva can ferment sugary liquids into alcohol.

** Another type of Satyr exists, as a racial variant of the Ork Metatype.

* Beastmen in ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' are about all the darkest parts of this put together.

** 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.

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