Upland wolf-goats are strange things. They’re not a breed, they just turn up in the spring as ragged, rough kids. Despite their fangs and greater horns, the other goats seem quite at ease with them and the mysterious strangers are welcomed into the herd without concern. As they grow, their fiery attitudes really show. They can drive away wolves, packs of hunting rock trolls, even bears.

Nobody knows where these strange goats come from, but the uplands are watched over by a great goat-like spirit named Nannaroo. Perhaps she sends the young wolf-goats to protect her wild and domestic kin.
