[[Image:Mon-goatman1.jpg|thumb|100px|left]]'''Goatmen ''' are [[Animals]]. The name "goatmen" is a colloquial name, but the real name is [[Khazra]]. The only type of goatman yet named in ''[[Diablo III'' ]] are '''Moon Clan Warriors''', but it's certain there will be [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Goatman various clans of Goatmen], as there were in ''[[Diablo'' I]] and ''[[Diablo II'']].
The goatmen foot soldiers seen thus far are much as they were in ''Diablo II''. They mill around in medium-sized packs, wielding huge two-handed polearms, and attack quickly, but not very effectively. The D3 goatmen have quick footspeed and a fast swing, but they pause for a long time between attacks. Their death sounds seem to be improved over how they were in D2, though they're not quite as delightfully bleaty and goaty as they were in D1, when their enticing noises put them amongst everyone's favorite monsters to kill.
==Background==
The history of Goatmen ([[Khazra]]) is detailed in the [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir]], especially named in [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir: Entry no. 0008|entry no 0008]], from which the following excerpt is taken.:
:''The khazra (colloquially known as "goatmen") were long thought to be natural inhabitants of our world, akin to the lacuni "panther-men" tribes of the desert and mountain regions, but I have recently discovered evidence revealing that nothing could be further from the truth. The history of the khazra is much more complex and disturbing than has been previously imagined.''
