Satyrs have goat like legs with cloven hooves and a small tail, about 15-20cm long. They also have short fur from the hips and down, in similar colour to the hair on their heads.

All satyrs have horns of varying kind, although there are three main types; Ram, bovine and antelope.

Women tend to have smaller horns than men.

Civilization and Culture

Common Dress Code

A traditional folk dress is composed of a tunic, and knee length pants for men, and skirts for women. The colour and pattern of the tunic, as well as accessories and decorations vary between regions.
Depending on the size and shape of a satyr's horns, they might not be able to pull a shirt over their heads, and shirts with buttons or lacing are very common.

Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals

Headbutting

Satyrs and Fauns use headbutting as a form of greeting, similar to many other races' handshake. For strangers it's appropriate to grab each other's forearms and to lightly tap their foreheads together. Between friends it's most common to grab each other's shoulders and tap foreheads with slightly more force, and/or to press foreheads together for a few seconds. Gently touching foreheads and rubbing noses is seen as a more intimate gesture and is usually done between family members or partners.

Common Taboos

It is generally seen as rude to touch or grab someone's horns without permission.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Satyrs and Fauns have always been culturally close and have always coexisted with each other. Seeing a family of both fauns and satyrs is very commonplace.
Satyrs have had rather little contact with Harpies and what contact they have had throughout history has usually been neutral trading relations.
