Mountain goats were alpine mammals.[1]
Description[]
Mountain goats had thick, white fur and a thick layer of fat. This provided it with ample protection from the cold.[1]
Behavior[]
Mountain goats were territorial and had a reputation for being incredibly stubborn creatures. As a result, they were quite difficult to domesticate.[1]
Abilities[]
Mountain goats were sure-footed on most alpine terrain. Their superb climbing ability allowed them to scale even the steepest of cliffs and they were capable of jumping from one narrow ledge to another.[1]
Combat[]
When threatened, a mountain goat rammed its opponent.[1]
