Animal · 2 hexes · SM +1 Giant Goat (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 5.1)
An ill-tempered mountain goat the size of a pony, standing on ledges that have no business holding it. Hill folk keep them for milk and haulage and put up with the bruises. In the wild they defend a slope by ramming, and on bad footing the fall afterwards is worse than the hit.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Giant Goat (SRD 5.1).
- Racial template: -44 points across 19 traits, plus 2 racial skill(s) worth 6 points.
- Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
- sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
- Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
- Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template rather than authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/giant-goat.gct
- The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
- Treasure and grappling are not authored for this record and ship as explicit nulls, which reads as known absent rather than forgotten; `lair` carries a short habitat note instead, because where a creature dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
- Added after a post-hoc comparison against independent GURPS fan conversions of this creature: Peripheral Vision. The comparison surfaced the gap; the build is still ours.
