What Is a Satyr?
A satyr is a nature spirit from Greek mythology, known for music, wine, and mischief. Satyrs were companions of Dionysus, the god of wine. In early Greek art, they had horse ears and tails. Later art gave them goat legs, borrowed from the god Pan and the Roman fauns.
In Dungeons & Dragons, satyrs became a playable race in Mythic Odysseys of Theros (2020). The book says satyr names are as playful as satyrs, and most satyrs also give each other nicknames.
