The Shemite Satyx, was a large wild goat similar in many ways to the Marcour. It had long spiraled horns, though was smaller than it’s modern day surviving counterpart. Like the stygian Jackal it is believed they died and were consumed by the sea when waters drank deep the kingdoms of Shem.

They were one of the most often bred and kept forms of native livestock in Shem during the Hyborian age, and it is actually these creatures that the shemites think of when they hear the word, goat. While smaller goats from the other kingdoms of Hyboria are imported to Shem, these goats are rarely exported. Being viewed as both a status symbol and a sign of household or even tribal virility and stamina.

Offerings of the Satyx are made to the gods. The Satyx itself is a Very aggressive animal, with males ruthlessly protecting large harems of females. Early observations of these creatures likely re-enforced early shemitish belief systems that equate sexuality with divinity.

Smaller populations can be found into the Southern Foothills of Koth, where worship of these animals, and, most recognizably to outsiders, one of the avatars, sacred hybrids to the Divine goddess, was and some say still is worshipped. A Satyr, or Avatar known only, as “pan”.
