Dionusine

Dionusines are bipedal caprid humanoids. Though the name is compared with Dionar by humans, the etymology of the word is unknown. They are also variously called dion, dusio/dus, deuda, silen. Pejoratively, other people call them geeps.
There are two kins of dionusines: satyrs and fauns. Satyrs are the goat-/artiodactyl-faced creatures with large, upright horns and less bushy hair. Fauns, on the other hand, are slightly shorter with more human-like faces and torsos, with very bushy hind quarters. They have small prongs when they are young and curved horns like a ram when they are fully mature. Both the terms faun and satyr are used interchangebly by outsiders, with faun usually referring to them when peaceful and calm and satyr referring to them when they are reveling or enemies at war.
Both fauns and satyrs have a reputation for their virility, ability to maintain prolonged erections, and indeed fauns are the more libidinous between the kins. Satyrs are truly hermaphroditic while fauns have sexually dimorphic genitals.
== Notable Dionusines ==
A queen of both satyr and faun lineage, with some elven blood, was born with 4 horns, two facing down, and two curling back and outward. She was considered immediately as divine and groomed from a young age to be a great and powerful queen.Category:Kins
