Goatpig
A hybrid of Goat + Pig
The Goatpig is a unique hybrid creature exhibiting a robust physique, combining the sturdy legs and cloven hooves of a goat with the stout body and snout of a pig.

This creature stands at about 3 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs between 150 to 200 pounds, making it a formidable presence in its habitat.
