I'm empted to make a joke out of this typo - but I'm torn between a chainmaile coat armour sort of joke or a Postgoat Pat and his black and white cat style hilarity. As it is I'm falling indecsively between the two. I'm also avoiding any reference to "Ram Speed" as some sort of nautical velocity related to the speed of a male sheep.

Goats in the real world have several characteristics that make them nasty creatures. The males smell bad. They tend to overgraze pasture. They are more violent than sheep or cows. I don't know much about their sex lives but in Glorantha we have both Ragnaglar driven mad in the sex pit, and those Goat worshipping guys in Kostaddi who believe in lots of good sex so my guess is that in Glorantha at least they are at it more than rabbits.
