Redpill me on goats, /x. I'm tryin to figure out why goat head(or symbol) is commonly used to define something le dark or le bad. I presume there are somehere entities who looks like goats or have goat heads - but why? In our world this animal is not a predator, it rarely attack humans, and even more rarely causes human deaths. Something like tiger or bear would be more dangerous and fit to the 'le bad' title way more than a goat. 

The only thing that clearly separates goats from other animals is their beard.

So I presume this symbolism is somehow connected to their character more than their appearance. Sad thing is there are almost no documentaries about goats behaviour. Or I was not lucky enough to found the good ones. Maybe you here know something worthy of mention?

I assume it's simply a case of inversion of values were Christians identify older pagan beliefs as being 'demon-worshipping'. The common goat-like depiction of the Devil seems to have been inspired by Greek god Pan and the mythological Satyrs, and since those figures were associated with sex and debauchery, it's easy to see why Christians might consider them evil, or associate them with their own beliefs, for an example that witches had sex with the Devil in forests. Biblically speaking however, it's generally the snake or serpent that is associated with Satan, not the goat.

As far as I know, the association of goats with things like the pentagram and Baphomet (which most likely is simply derived from Mohammed) is a much more recent invention of modern occultists, likely based in the above mentioned beliefs
