Goat

Goats are domestic animals pertaining to the Real World, which also make a brief appearance in the Mario universe. Here, goats sport blank hair that covers their bodies, except for their heads and hooves. A sharp beard surrounds their lower jaw, and their heads have an ivory-colored skin. Each goat displays two yellow horns on top of their heads, and also a couple of white ears. They always appear to have a shallow smile under their nose, the latter being the apex of a crooked snout. Their eyes are small and black, and are displayed symmetrically on the sides of their snout. All of these facial features form the image of a cute-looking, yet somehow dimwitted expression of a goat. Goats move slowly on their chubby legs, and have short tails on their back. They can be often heard bleating whenever one passes near them. Currently, their only appearance in a Mario game is Mario Kart 7, occupying the road in the course Daisy Hills, and thus serving as obstacles for the racers, much like how cows do in the Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 course Moo Moo Meadows.
