The Faun (formerly spelled The Fawn) is a unique goatman located in the Climb. The Faun always appears in a pass leading to the entrance to The Lower Prison, entering by dropping down from above, instantly killing any nearby monsters when he lands.

Lore

According to Sin, The Faun is the son of Abberath, the Cloven One and a "princess" taken from a local tribe. Born as a half-goat to a human mother, he and his mother were shunned by the tribe, driving his mother to try to cast the both of them off of a cliff. Instead, she struck him on the head with a large rock, leaving him for dead. However, due to his goat skull, he survived the attack. He tried to follow her back to the village, but lost his way and never returned. Years later, the Faun terrorized the surroundings of the encampment, producing more goatmen offspring that could eat anything they encounter, and attacking travellers from above.[1]
