{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|W=5|R=7|G=2}} {{stats|Goat creation|C=1|W=2|B=3|A=2|L=1|state=collapsed}} as of ''[[Murders at Karlov Manor]]'' |beeble=2 |beeble_ref=<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/36919201211/|title=Where are goats on the storm scale?|2012-12-01}}</ref> }} {{TOCright}} '''Goat''' is a [[creature type]] used for cards that depict various hollow-horned, bearded ruminant mammals living in [[mountain]]ous areas and their domesticated relatives that are raised for wool, milk, and meat. ==History== The first creature to bear the type was the [[red]] <c>Mountain Goat</c> in ''[[Ice Age]]''. It was then redone in ''[[Portal Three Kingdoms]]'' as <c>Zodiac Goat</c> a couple of years later. When ''[[Lorwyn]]'' was released, it featured the [[changeling]] mechanic. It also featured <c>Goatnapper</c>, but no Goat cards. The joke was that because of Mountain Goat and Zodiac Goat, Goat was a supported creature type, so Goatnapper affected all the creatures with changeling.<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/death-2020-01-13|To the Death|[[Mark Rosewater]]|January 13, 2020}}</ref> With the [[Grand Creature Type Update]], four previous Beasts were [[errata]]d to Goat Beasts, bringing the total to six Goats. Later in the block, ''[[Eventide]]'' featured <c>Springjack Shepherd</c>, which made 0/1 Goat tokens. Since then, 0/1 white creature tokens started appearing as Goats. Sixteen years after the last printed Goat, <c>Pathbreaker Ibex</c> made Goat an occasional creature type, taking it out of mono-red and into green and white. ==Storyline== ===Dominaria=== From [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]] several Goat [[Beast]]s are known. The <c>Wild Colos</c> from [[Keld]] is sometimes used as a steed, but can only be trained as a young animal. Colos meat tastes gamey but is good for sausage.<ref name="Time Spiral">[[Scott McGough]] (2006), "[[Time Spiral (novel)|Time Spiral]]", [[Wizards of the Coast]]</ref> The <c>Crested Craghorn</c> is indigenous to [[Otaria]]. It is said that Craghorns experience a wide range of emotions: "rage, fury, anger . . .". Their skeletons can be found all over [[Skirk Ridge]], tangled in each other's horns. ===Lorwyn=== Springjacks are small grazing animals native to the [[plane]] of [[Lorwyn (plane)|Lorwyn]].<ref>{{DailyRef|springjack-sketches-2007-11-08|Springjack Sketches|[[Magic Arcana]]|November 8, 2007}}</ref> They have slightly curving horns, shaggy wool, and four-clawed paws. [[Kithkin]] keep springjacks for use as mounts, as well as for their milk, mutton, and wool.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071109043005/http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/db9 The Book of Kith and Kin (archived)]</ref> Those who tend flocks of springjacks are known as jackherds. [[Goblin]] <c title="Goatnappers">Goatnapper</c> steal Kith goats for practice. The real prize, of course, is a [[giant]]'s giant [[flying|winged]] <c title="Cloudgoat">Cloudgoat Ranger</c>.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/lorwyn-survival-guide-2007-10-31|Lorwyn Survival Guide|[[Doug Beyer]]|October 31, 2007}}</ref> They are celebrated by the plane's Kithkin every year at the Springjack Festival, which includes a lifting competition, where the stoutest kithkin try to lift ever-increasing weights of springjack; a joust, a crowd-pleasing show of determination where each kith's jacksmanship is put to the test; and the Springjack Reel, a lively, twisting dance symbolic of the story of Talbin Beel, the first kithkin ever to tame a springjack. ===Tarkir=== The [[Abzan Houses]] of [[Tarkir]] use large Ibex (wild goats) as mounts and draught animals. They also provide good wool.<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-story/chronicle-bolas-whispers-treachery-2018-07-11|Chronicle of Bolas: Whispers of Treachery|[[Kate Elliott]]|July 11, 2018}}</ref> ==Trivia== *<c>Animal Sanctuary</c> is a [[land]] that can put [[+1/+1 counter]]s on goats. ==Tokens== Tokens marked with {{A}} are created by [[Acorn]] cards. {{Goat tokens|header=y}} ==See also== *[[Sheep]] *[[Satyr]]s ==Gallery== <gallery> springjack.jpg|Kithkin knight riding a springjack.
