A creature from Greek mythology, like the [{Centaur]] and [[Minotaur]]. Satyrs appear as human men with the horns, legs and tails of goats. Their obscure cousins are Fauns (gentler, younger versions of them) and Ipotanes (men with the ears, legs and tails of horses). They're associated with the demigods Pan (son of Apollo and a divine satyr) and Silenus (an ipotane demigod who attends Dionysius, god of wine and merriment). Incurable drunkards, hornballs and party-animals, satyrs generally live to get drunk, party, and shag any woman they can get into bed. They're notorious for chasing after [[nymph]]s, who typically prefer the gentler, less insatiable, more refined and less stinking-drunkard fauns instead.




'''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'''
Has appeared as almost a footnote in most editions of D&D. Typically associated with nymphs to the point of being the "male equivalent"; using their Charm-inducing panpipes to bewitch minions and seduce women, and breeding with nymphs to father more of both races. You can play one in 3.5, though that Level Adjustment is a bitch. Got promoted to a full playable race in 4e, via their ''Heroes of the Feywild'' sourcebook, which also gave players the side-note that if you want to rework the species into not being an all-male one in your game, go right ahead. [[Pathfinder]] has both Satyrs and Fauns as enemies in their assorted bestiaries, with fauns being the more civilized breed.


What happens when a human decides that the goat over there looks awful pretty.         
Overall not a menacing creature with 5d6+5 health in [[Dungeons and Dragons]] version 3.5 it is a good enough player character race with only a +2 level adjustment for having 40 speed and a natural headbutt. Even in groups it is not a problem... unless one has the Pan Pipes of Doom! They double the creatures CR from 2 to 4 and give it the Charm ability which in large numbers make your horde of underlings (if your that cool) ENTIRELY useless and can disable your party's tank from doing his job.
They give ability enhancements of +2 to all skills excluding strength and bless the player with low-light vision(Not nearly as great as dark vision but a close second)


To be honest if you can deal with being called a furry lover it is a great race to play if you have some experience. Not suggested for new players because the Dnd level adjustment system can be confusing at first glance.
'''[[Monstergirls]]'''
As one of the more overwhelmingly masculine races in mythology, monstergirl depictions are surprisingly rare. They are typically avid party-girls and lusty booze-hounds, usually extremely busty and easy to screw. User beware, however; it's far from unheard of for monstergirl versions of satyrs to also be [[dickgirl]]s.

Overview A creature from Greek mythology, like the [{Centaur]] and Minotaur. Satyrs appear as human men with the horns, legs and tails of goats. Their obscure cousins are Fauns (gentler, younger versions of them) and Ipotanes (men with the ears, legs and tails of horses). They're associated with the demigods Pan (son of Apollo and a divine satyr) and Silenus (an ipotane demigod who attends Dionysius, god of wine and merriment). Incurable drunkards, hornballs and party-animals, satyrs generally live to get drunk, party, and shag any woman they can get into bed. They're notorious for chasing after nymphs, who typically prefer the gentler, less insatiable, more refined and less stinking-drunkard fauns instead.


Dungeons & Dragons Has appeared as almost a footnote in most editions of D&D.
