Satyr
D&D 2024 monster: Satyr. Source: Monster Manual (2014). challenge rating 1/2, creature type Fey, Medium size, speed 40 ft. Satyrs are raucous fey that frolic in wild forests, driven by curiosity and hedonism in equal measure. Satyrs resemble stout male humans with the furry lower bodies and cloven hooves of goats. Horns sprout from their heads, ranging in shape from a pair of small nubs to large, curling rams' horns. They typically sport facial hair. Hedonistic Revelers Satyrs crave the strongest drink, the most fragrant spices, and the most dizzying dances. A satyr feels starved when it can't indulge itself, and it goes to great lengths to sate its desires. It might kidnap a fine minstrel to hear lovely songs, sneak through a well-defended garden to gaze upon a beautiful lad or lass, or infiltrate a palace to taste the finest food in the land. Satyrs allow no festivity to pass them by. They partake in any holiday they've heard of. Civilizations of the world have enough festivals and holy days among them to justify nonstop celebration. Inebriated on drink and pleasure, satyrs give no thought to the consequences of the hedonism they incite in others. They leave such creatures mystified at their own behavior. Such revelers might have to scrounge for excuses to explain their disordered state to parents, employers, family, or friends. Twixt day and night the spirits goad me on They pine for ages past when hearts were pure Against all reason now they seem unsure They laugh and scream between mine ears anon. Now fill my cup not once, not twice, but thrice With flag's brim upon my lips I dance Let unseen pixies toss their gowns askance While I, the Carnal King, indulge my vice. With folded boughs, the treants take their leave As merry damsels' corsets come undone My song doth stir them like a summer breeze They fill mine empty cup without reprieve. The sun becomes the moon becomes the sun I while away the hours as I please. Fey Medium 40 ft.
