Satyrs

Satyrs are a variant of Orks that originate from the Mediterranean region, but have since spread all over the world.
Satyrs vary greatly from the basic phenotypic characteristics of homo sapiens robustus - see below for more details.

Assaults on Satyrs on the rise? Recent evidence shows that Satyrs are being targeted by attacks and there is a suggestion that this may be linked to Alamos 20k. Motives, other than racism, of course, are yet unknown. Warnings are being spread and some high-profile members of this rare metavariant have already begun contracting private security to tackle the threat.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Slightly more muscular bulk than Orks. Satyrs, like the creatures of legend, have caprine leg and foot structures, complete with cloven hooves. This gives them an interesting gait while providing exceptional running speed and enhanced jumping capabilities.

Additional Information

Social Structure

In most cases, their higher-than-average intelligence and less aggressive-looking faces allow Satyrs to adapt better to society at large than their primary subspecies. They integrate well with society as a whole.

Facial characteristics

A satyr's face is elongated at the jaw, has a more slender nose, smaller lower canines and a greater extension of the aural helix. Satyr horns are usually short and sweep back over the head, but a wide variety of variations have been documented.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

All over the world, despite originating from the Mediterranean.

Average Intelligence

Slightly higher than humans.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Low-light vision

Civilization and Culture

Relationship Ideals

For the most part, Satyrs are not attracted to their own metavariant, but rather they seek partners from the range of metahumanity. Often, then, Satyrs have multiple children, some of which express as the metatype of the other parent.

Culture and Cultural Heritage

Satyrs do not possess a culture of their own but adapt well to the surrounding cultures.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Satyrs are seen as free-spirited and artistic, although in reality they have a full spread of personality types.
