Goat

Goats were common herd animals.

Combat
Goats were peaceful animals but attacked if cornered. They usually attacked by charging.

Habitat
In Zakhara, goats were one of the most common domesticated herd animals, some clans had herds of thousands of individual goats. Several settlements on Yggdrasil kept goat herds.

Ecology
Female goats were called does, male goats were called bucks, and juvenile goats were called kids. They lived in herds of up to two bucks and a dozen does, and twice as many kids.

Uses
Goats provided milk, which could be turned into goat cheese. The skin of a goat could be fashioned into a handy drinking vessel. Goat hair could be shorn to make wool.

In Zakhara, it was common practice to blend the hair from a camel and a goat while making wool. Nomadic Jann tribes herded goats, and some ogre giant clans kept herds.
