Satyrs

Satyrs, also known as Fauns by Romans, are creatures with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a goat complete with hairy goat legs and hooves, as well as goat horns, and the pointed ears of a goat. When in public, they tend to be clumsy, for they have to wear fake feet and hats so that the sound or appearance of their hooves or horns won't draw unwanted attention from mortals.
==Description==
Satyrs, alongside nymphs, are nature spirits that were created when Uranus' blood spilled on fertile soil after he was murdered by his son Cronus. In Greek mythology, they were minor Gods of the forest- like Gods, they never die, but simply transform in a weaker state into a plant. Many went to search for Pan, the ancient Greek god of the Wild, until he faded. Most of those satyrs were lured to Polyphemus' Island because of the overpowering scent of the Golden Fleece during their search for Pan and then eaten. Others, such as Memphos, who was turned to stone by Medusa, were attracted to other monsters for reasons unexplained. Satyrs also worship the young god Dionysus. They also seem to appreciate the goddess Artemis as she is "so into nature."
== Aethiopian Satyrs ==
Aethiopian Satyrs are a subspecies of Satyr that unlike their vegetarian cousins, are carnivorous, and are known to eat other satyrs. They live under the shadow of Mount Ida on the island of Crete. Aethiopian satyrs are vaporized by sweet tea, but only when the tea is swallowed and the tea is not diluted. Diluted tea will only put them to sleep. There are likely other packs of these satyrs in the world.
==Abilities==
* They can detect half-bloods and monsters (but not underground) by scent.
* They can control nature by playing music on their reed pipes.
* They can talk to animals and some monsters.
* They have animal-level hearing and smell.
* They can eat recyclable material (tin, aluminum, plastic, etc.) and even wood and grass.
* They can run at superhuman speeds, along with climbing, as a result of goat legs.
* They can sense nature magic (such as the Golden Fleece, Pan, and gifts of Pan).
* They can sense emotions of demigods and mortalss.
* They practice woodland magic.
* They age at half the rate of a human or demigod.
* When they die, they are reincarnated as plants or trees, such as laurels (if they are lucky), and flowers (the average satyr).

==Trivia==
* Oddly, in the myths, satyrs are described as creatures with wild desires, making the choice of them to collect young demigods, particularly girls, slightly questionable in nature.
* The Roman term for satyr is faun, probably derived from the faunus, which happens to be the Roman counterpart of Pan.
* In some Roman myths, fauns were thought to have a large poetic imagination.
* In Camp Jupiter, fauns are treated as annoying beggars while in Camp Half-Blood, they are more important as they are Keepers and Searchers, which adds more demigods to their camp.
* They despise being underground, as everything smells the same, therefore making it harder for them to smell danger.
* There are no female satyrs, as the female equivalent of a satyr is a Nymph.
** Although, in some myths, female counterparts are called satyresses.
*The earliest depictions of satyrs portray them as having full human bodies, and the tails and ears of horses or other equine creatures. Though these kinds of satyrs are sometimes referred to as Prenoi, being descended from Prenos, while the goat-legged satyrs are mentioned as Panes or Paneides, the children of Pan and brothers to Prenos, which the satyrs in the books could be as they are exceedingly loyal to Pan and willing to search for him at all costs.
