A Faun is a fey-related race that resembles a sort of strange cross of goat with a small human or elf-like being. Standing only about 4 to 5 feet tall, it has a human-like torso and head, but the legs and feet of a goat. A faun can also have other features reminiscent of goats, such as small horns or large ears. Fauns share the halfling’s love of a simple agrarian life, and frequently are found wherever alcoholic beverages are made.

Fauns do not have their own language, preferring to speak Elvish among themselves. They also know the language of halflings, their most common neighbors, and many also know the secret languages of fey races such as pixies or dryads. Most adventuring fauns who travel outside their small shires know Common.

Fauns live in remote forests or meadows far away from civilisation. They are a frisky race occupying most of their time with playing, flirting, and drinking. Fauns value their privacy and will try to drive away any intruders from their domain. They have been known to ignore intruders from time to time if given enough premium food and or wine.

The lower body of a faun is covered with coarse fur that ranges from medium brown to dark brown. The upper half appears to be a deeply tanned human. A faun’s horns and hooves are coloured a deep black.

Fauns can speak their own language as well as elven and common. It is also likely that fauns can understand the language of centaurs if any live nearby.
