Goat people are a class of mythological beings who physically rembled humans from the waist up, and had the hind legs of goats for legs. They fall into various categories, such as sprites, gods, demons, and demigods.
- Satyrs
- Fauns
- Sileni
- Silenus
- Maenads (Many consider maenads as the female counterpart to satyrs, and are sometimes even thought of as goat legged by some.)
- Pan
- Faunus
- Fauna
- Glaistigs
- Pucks
- Satan (Satan scarcely fits in this category and is here only on account of his modern depiction of being a red skined, monster with goat horns and goat legs.)
- Satyress/Fauness
- Goat Man
- Perchta
- Baphomet
