The Devil Goat
The devil goat is a subtle deceiver that most of the time appears to be nothing more than a normal goat. It insinuates itself among common beasts, and it waits and watches, yearning to discover petty jealousies and complaints that it can magnify through cunning combinations of falsehood and truth. In the hierarchy of hell, devil goats and imps occupy the same level. Devil goats are found throughout the infernal realms in the service of greater devils. They act as messengers and spies, but, unlike imps, seldom serve any mortal master, no matter how evil. Instead, devil goats seek to swell the ranks lemures by corrupting mortals, leading them along wicked paths toward self-destruction.
