==Background==
The Goatmen are a race that used to be five clans of the [[umbaru]] race from the [[Torajan]] jungles of [[Teganze]], but were separated, and later used by the [[Vizjerei]] [[mage clan]] in the [[Mage Clan Wars]] as deformed "goatmen". They engaged the Vizjerei in war for many centuries, and became completely obsessed with taking revenge on the [[sorcerer]]s, to the point of the rest of the non-transformed clans captured a Vizjerei mage, took control of their "lost" clans that were transformed to goatmen, and transformed themselves as well to better fight the mages.
The umbaru [[Witch Doctor]]s of lower Teganze started to rid the jungles of the Khazra, and in a truly legendary battle they defeated Zagraal. Without demonic powers, the goatmen became weak, and besides the power surge that came with [[Diablo]]'s emergence in [[Tristram]] some 20 years ago, they have been the sluggish and muddled beings we know today.
[[Vischar Orous]], Chief Librarian and Zharesh Covenant of the [[Brotherhood of the Vizjerei]] classified goatmen as ''Aries Vehemens''[http://www.diablowiki.net/Diablo_I_Manual#Goat_Men_.28Aries_Vehemens.29], lieutenants of [[Baal]] bred for strength, endurance, and cunning. Apparently spending a lot of time in Hell, exercising in mock wars to please their masters. According to Vischar, the different clans of goatmen were blessed with gifts from [[Baal]]. If this was the belief of Vischar, or if the Vizjerei just needed to cover up the horrible truth is unknown. (It's also possible that this is just a [[retcon]] from Blizzard().
==Lore==
Some time ago, I revealed that the khazra, or "goatmen," were originally humans until the Vizjerei corrupted them. For many years these creatures were simple and lethargic. These days have ended. Khazra attacks are widely reported and the number of fatalities is higher than anything in my records...
