Speculation on the goat

So, since they reached all their stretch goals, that means that not only is the goat going to end up in the final game, but the goat is going to have a personality and backstory as well. But the game devs have revealed very little about the character other than her ability to climb walls. We don't even know what she looks like.

I'm sorry if there was already a thread for this (if there was, I couldn't find it), but let's speculate on who the goat is.

I'm gonna assume she's from Switzerland or Sweden or something. But wait, they already did that with Velvet. Maybe Mongolia?

Leaked footage. These combos look monstrous.


Nah, but if I'm gonna' be real, I dunno' if the goat'll be male or female, but either way it'd be pretty cool if they had the oddly stoic and disciplined way of speaking, regularly reciting analogies and "a sharp mind can cut through any rock" sorta' stuff.

That being said, I'm pretty much alright with whichever way this goat goes when they're released :0

I'm pretty sure they confirmed the goat as female.

The Book of Lore prologue said that the Goats are from a place called "The Mountains" so I guess we can assume the goat character will be from there. I don't know this for certain, but I'm guessing the place will be mountainous.

Wonder if the goat is a relative of Fred's?
What if Fred IS the Goat?

More seriously I'm thinking the Goat might end up being a relative of the one who put the Predators in the Hold, you know, since goat can have bearb and I'm pretty sure there are goats around deserts...

Literally the only thing we know about her is that she can climb walls. Most characters from other games that have wall climbs are speedy ninja types.

It's Toriel. This needs to be canon.

Of which I was the one who suggested the name, given that if anything, goats in the Alps may have their own dutch names. Not to mention there was a 1974 anime about a girl named Heidi who befriended goats awhile living on a mountain, and a few books that were similar. I also think she should have a sonic echo attack that amplifies each time she 'yodels'.

I've been doing some research, and based on what I've read, it seems the two countries with the highest goat populations are China and India.

Based on just that, there's a chance that the Goat and her race might be Indian-based, since Tian already covers China.

I'm more than likely wrong, but it's something to think about.

Indian Goat. This sounds pretty cool actually.

Hmm since male and female goats can both have beards I wonder if that would make them a bit like dwarves?

The devs then give goat ambiguous name so we never actually know.

If the goat doesn't have a standing overhead where she just faints on the opponent I will be severely disappointed...
It could totally be a taunt that does damage.

I want there to be a running gag where the goat would be mistaken as a male for having a beard. Also, I really agree to an earlier comment about the goat breaking her species' stereotype and being a complete goofball.

We really need a livestream with our beloved lady Faust, so we can gently whisper these ideas to her.

As for her attitude..... I'm not sure. The traditional goofball characters have a high chance of being just annoying instead of funny, and Paprika is already the comical character. I personally like her being that "Legendary unknown entity taht everyone is vary of challenging". Or, maybe mix the two and make her slightly insane, switching between personalities? It can even have an effect on her fighting style.
