So the goat steeds in Nyerla are different from Earth goats! Aside from them having fangs, they also have a very loose relationship with gravity, with them being able to leap incredibly long distances from standstill, with the longest distance to date on record being about fifty meters. This dashing ability makes them nigh-impossible to kill for most predators (when not domesticated, at least) and also makes them beloved steeds for fast travel by some species. They're commonly ridden by thylacines to cover long distances in a short amount of time. The ability of these goats to leap this far has nicknamed them the name "flying goats", though they don't actually fly. One of the downsides of their long distance leaping is that they wear out easily, but for short-timed long-distance dashes they're the ultimate mount. So here's Tek with their goat Bearli taking the leap of faith of a rocky hill to test the steed's dashing abilities. Also purple. I felt like drawing something purple today. Ain't that neat?
