About This Tool

Satyrs is a half-man, half-animal god of the forest, a monster with ram horns, legs and tail. His lust for pleasure, sexual pleasure, is often the male symbol of erotomania or sexual excess, and is a roguish mythological figure. Since ancient times, many comics, comedies, movies, books and so on like to use this as a caricature of the characters. Random tool today collates 42 of the more common Satyrs characters.

They come from different works, appear at different times and are given different meanings. In the Ancient Greek mythology, Satyrs -- half man, half beast -- are a symbol of creativity, music, poetry and sex, as well as a symbol of panic and nightmares. But in modern literature, many of these characters, arranged by generators, represent satire and metaphor.
