SHOWING MANY SIMILARITIES TO a minotaur, as a common goat does to a bull, the satyr
most important distinctions from the minotaur are its head and superior intelligence. I am well
acquainted with the many interpretations of this creature; it has been portrayed in countless
works of literature and stories for the stage. The species I studied (represented here) had the ears of a
human, though goat-eared species are believed to exist. There may be other variations as well. I
discovered a specimen resembling a ram near the border of Finland; there was too little remaining of
the beast and, regrettably, it was not in a condition that permitted useful study or accurate
representation. I have not yet come upon another like it.
