Beloved GoatReport

English:Beloved Goat · Creatures

One of the two pets kept by the Suspicious Settler. Beyond the name it is virtually identical to an ordinary goat — but it will charge in when its owner is attacked.

The Beloved Goat is one of the two pets belonging to the Suspicious Settler, the other being the Settler's Pup. It lives in the Eastern Gatherer Village west of Mongrel.

The wiki's description of it runs to a single line: beyond the name, it is virtually identical to a normal Goat.

It fights for its owner

Its one function in the game is that it will aid the Settler if he is attacked. Given its numbers, this will not change the outcome of any fight — melee attack and defence, Strength, Dexterity, Toughness and Athletics are all 10 (randomised by 2), Martial Arts is 1, and its blood pool is 47–83.

Which means the point of the charge is entirely on the narrative side. This village has no walls and no guards, and the reinforcements available to the man who opens by begging you not to hurt him are one goat and one dog.

Growth and drops

As an animal character it grows stronger with age:

Killing it yields Animal Skin x2 (about 240 each) and Raw Meat x7 (about 60 each). These are its death items — removing them from the body is what confirms the kill.
