He bites you with his sabre teeth. You feel the urge to visit the theatre, and maybe see a spectre. Eek! Argh!

He gores you with his sharp horns and his sabre-teeth simultaneously. It's like being attacked by some minotaur-vampire hybrid. Eek! Ow! Ooh! Oof! Ugh!

He gnashes his sabre teeth at you and butts you in the head. And heads you in the butt. Ooh! Ugh! Ugh!

He does a little sabre-dance, goathandling you with his sharp hooves. Ugh! Ouch! Oof! Argh! Ouch!


He leaps high in the air onto the rocks above you, then dive-bombs you with sabre-teeth extended. He lodges them deep in your skull, which kind of itches, and scratches you with his goatee, which hurts like hell. Wait, reverse those effects. Ugh! Ow! Eek!


He tries to bite you with his sabre teeth, but gets his lower lip instead.

He tries to gore you with his horns, but gets a tooth trapped in the ground and trips. He should really be careful of those trip-traps.

He gnashes his sabre teeth at you. You give him a toothbrush and some toothpaste, which you didn't know you had and is now gone.

He tries to sabre-dance on you, but it's hard to dance on one's teeth.


He starts to trash-talk you, which is unusual for a goat. It doesn't really upset you, though, because he "tawks wike diff." Thank goodness for speech impediments! You laugh until you're sure you've gotten the goat's goat.

You acquire an item: goat beard (2.9% chance)*
You acquire an item: sabre teeth (4.9% chance)*
You gain 13 <substat>.

Occurs at The Goatlet.
