I loved the Faun in the movie "Pan's Labyrinth." That movie was so true to life...

Oh, not always, not always.
Here's one:

Satyrs spring from Greek mythology.
In their Grecian form, they had nothing to do with goats.
In fact, the Greeks portrayed them with a horse's tail :)
(Additionally, in Grecian art, the adult ones had beards and the senior citizens were bald and obese.)
It's the Romans who made them 'goat-like', as a point of similarity with Faunus, their own version of a perennially horny man-goat.
Strangely enough, although Latin mythology gives Satyrs the upper half of a man and the lower half of a goat, Roman artists planted goat's horns on the older satyrs' heads.
I guess that makes older satyrs 'goat-horned horny man-goats'.
