Satyr was the Greek form of the creature, Faun was the Roman (Latin) form.

Typically both are (now-a-days) thought of as having the upper half of a human and the lower half of a goat, with the head also possessing the horns, ears and beard of the billy-goat. However the creature has undergone significant evolution over the centuries and can represent a range of traits.

In the oldest form they were humanoid strongly built with flat noses, large pointed ears, long curly hair, and full beards, and a horse tail. The billy-goat association came with the more Latin influence.
