Trivia

 * Goats are often depicted as symbols of The Devil/Satan, where they often appear in a reversed pentagram where the two superior points are the horns of the goat, the center being the face of the goat, the left and right points of the pentagram resembling the ears of the goat, and the lower point resembling the chin. The goat image is often used with Baphomet which is also an image of demons. The goat-and-pentagram is often used in Satanism.
 * The Abyss Goats themselves are as "black as sin" and may be a reference to an ancient Jewish ritual in which, once a year, the sins of the community were placed onto a goat, called the "scapegoat," in order to cleanse the community. The animal was then driven away to die, such as into the desert or off a cliff, thus taking the sins of the community away.
