Homebrew Satyr Species Details

Physical Description

Satyrs resemble stout humans with the furry lower bodies and cloven hooves of goats. Horns sprout from their heads, ranging in shape from a pair of small nubs to large, curling ram's horns. Some Satyrs delight in decorating their horns with elaborate carvings or piercings, most of which to display their love of chaos and night life.

 

History

Satyrs are creatures who were created long ago, by a forgotten god of wine, pleasure, and parties. They have always loved the physical pleasures of life, such as drinks, women, men, or anything in between, and wild parties. Due to this, they are mentioned throughout history, wherever as barbarians who are drunkards, protectors of pleasure itself, or signs of fertility.

 

Society

Satyrs have absolutely no society of their own, instead travelling to other societies to try and have infinite parties.

 

Relationships

Satyrs are typically both liked and disliked by many races, liked due to their neutral natures and goodwill, but disliked due to their chaotic natures and love of parties. Dwarves, however, have a very large affection for Satyrs, and it is considered an honor for a Dwarven woman (or man) to sleep with a Satyr.

 

Satyr Names

Satyrs take on names from the same way that almost all members of the Fey do, however they also sometimes take names from Elven, as well. Rarely, if they are honored by a society of people, or live there, they may take names from other languages, such as Common or Dwarvish.

Male: Adolamin, Quogeon, Fruroar
