## Physical Appearance

Satyr/Satyress Yokai are a hybrid between a human and a goat. They can have the upper body of a human or a head of a goat and the lower body of a goat which are the hooven legs covered in fur. They all have horns sticking out from their heads and goat ears as well. They also usually wear shirts and are pants-less because of their goat legs.

## Description

Satyr Yokai are nature spirits. They're the manifestation of forest and animal spirits which would help or hinder humans at whim. They worship the god of alcohol, “Bacchus" and they're known for playing music. They can play any wind instrument like the flute and the clarinet. Satyrs represent energetic spirituality and the instinctive pursuit of sexual pleasure.

## Pop Culture

Satyrs are usually male in most forms of media. Hercules, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Pan's Labyrinth are examples of male satyrs being depicted. But there are times when the satyr are depicted as female. League of Legends has Lillia. Sofia the First has Winter. Onward has Gore who is one of the police officers. Eloras from Spyro is a faun satyr. And lastly, A Centaur's Worries has Kyouko Naraku who's one of the main protagonists of the anime. Satyrs are often depicted as being a comic relief character such as Philoctetes from Disney's Hercules. They're also seen as being helpers to the protagonist.

## Variations

### Nymph Yokai

Nymphs are the female counterparts of satyrs. They are an exclusively all-female species who has the power of controlling the elements of nature.

### Spirit Yokai

Satyrs are known as nature spirits. They inhabit the forests where they have parties and are seen dancing and drinking wine and such.

### Goat Yokai

Satyrs are half-human and half-goat. Fauns and satyrs were originally quite different creatures: whereas fauns are half-man and half-goat, satyrs originally were depicted as stocky, hairy, ugly dwarfs or woodwoses with the ears and tails of horses or asses.

## Life in the Hidden World

Satyr Yokai are known for their endless parties. They are partygoers with uninhibited and hedonistic personalities who love music and alcohol. They spend their days playing the flute while drinking wine according to the teachings of Bacchus which state “a person's rightful and true form is for certain a state of alcoholic intoxication with everything laid bare.” They are sociable and friendly towards humans, and if they happen to spot a human they'll invite that person to drink with them repeatedly. But, as a matter of fact, they are also extremely lustful and amorous monsters. They basically view humans in a sexual manner, and their aim is to get men they like drunk and have sex with them. But not only that, they are willing to engage in sexual acts with all manner of beings (including but not limited to gods, nymphs, centaurs, other satyrs or human men, women and boys). Satyr and Satyress will always find a way to party throughout the night. Though their behaviors has caused trouble with the Hidden City Police Officers time and time again.

## Symbolism

In classical mythology, satyrs were companions to Pan, a fertility god, and Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy. As you might guess, *satyrs* were not known for their mild-mannered ways: Like their patrons, they were excessively fond of women, drink, and song.

In Greek art, the satyr was depicted as a man with the ears and tail of a horse. Roman artists emphasized this creature's relationship to the goat-god Pan by giving the satyr a goat's ears, horns, and haunches. In both cases, the satyr's animal aspect symbolized his immoderate appetites. This noun can also be used metaphorically for a man whose sexual desire is stronger than his sense of decency.
