The most common type of lesser Demon doesn’t have a specific name like most other Demons, but some refer to the as Goatmen. This is because they appear to a mixture of humanoid and goat, quite often complete with hooves and horns, although this is not always the case.

While there is a lot of variation within their appearance, these creatures are similar in outlook. They are universally considered to be ruthless, savage, and completely untrustworthy. Unless they are forced to swear a solemn oath they will always lie to and mislead those who summon them.

When summoned, these creatures will often require the sacrifice of a small animal to slake their bloodlust. Once a pact has been sealed, the Demon will obey any single command, although complicated orders may be a bit much for its mind to comprehend. Many times, its savagery tends to overwhelm what intelligence it has.

In melee combat, these creatures prefer weapons that slash or maul their foes, such as axes and spiked clubs or maces, but they are not above using ranged weapons and attacking foes from ambush as well. They enjoy making a foe last as long as possible, and will often go for disabling attacks at first rather than killing attacks; all the better to prolong the suffering of their targets.

Goatmen often form the bulk of demonic armies. However, despite their viciousness and lust for battle, Goatmen are often not very brave or disciplined, and they are not considered or treated as any sort of reliable troop. They usually require one or more greater Demons herding and controlling them.

However, as always, there are those who fall outside what is considered the norm for these beings.
