Profile
Origin
In Greek folklore, satyrs or silens[1][2] were a mythical humanoid race that originally had horse ears, horse tails, snub noses, large erect penises, and sometimes (though not always) horse legs. In the Hellenistic era and later, they were typically portrayed as entirely human or with the legs and horns of a goat. The change to a goatlike appearance was perhaps influenced by depictions of the god Pan.[2]
They have a beastly nature with unchecked sexual desire, constantly trying to copulate with nymphs, and they are part of the retinue of Dionysus. Their father is said to be Silenus.[3] Dramas known as satyr plays were popular in ancient Greece and were part of Dionysia, the festival for Dionysus.
Design
Satyr's design in Last Bible III is a recolor of Centaur's.
