Goat

A goat is a sturdy and compact creature, standing about 2 to 3 feet tall at the shoulder. It has a short, coarse coat that can vary in color, including white, brown, black, or a combination of these hues. A pair of curved horns extends from the goat’s head, adding to its rugged appearance.

With nimble hooves and a natural agility, goats are known for their surefootedness, allowing them to traverse steep slopes and rocky terrains with ease. Their sharp senses, including keen eyesight and acute hearing, help them detect potential dangers in their surroundings.

Goats are generally docile and calm animals, but they can exhibit a stubborn or curious nature. They are known for their characteristic bleating sound, often used for communication or to call for attention. In the wild, they are social animals, forming herds led by a dominant male known as a “billy goat” or “buck.”

Goats are commonly used as livestock, companions, or beasts of burden. They can be encountered in rural villages, farms, or grazing in fields. While goats are not typically aggressive or combat-oriented, they can still provide interesting role-playing opportunities and may be involved in quests or challenges related to their care, protection, or interaction with other creatures in the game world.
