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.

| abstract | - 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.) 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. They were associated with sex, wine, and pipe playing. They were obsessed with and would pursue the nymphs, and would frequently dance with them. Despite their shy and cowardly nature, they could be dangerous. The faun was a forest god manifestation of forest and animal spirits, it was associated with nature, and it could inspire fear in man, but it also could guide them, if it felt so inclined. Other goat people include the Greek god Pan, his Roman counterpart Faunus/Inuus, and in some depictions, Satan (which, coincidentally, sounds a lot like "satyr"). See also Our Centaurs Are Different. Examples of Fauns and Satyrs include:
