Great Goat

The Great Goat is a minor antagonist in the Conviction Arc in Beserk. A mysterious man wearing a goat head for a mask, he leads a cult devoted to sex and cannibalism.

History
The Great Goat is first seen when Joachim is brought to his cult by Nina. He tries to induct the initially accommodating Joachim, but the boy snaps to his senses when he is offered a soup made of human flesh. The Great Goat's followers hunt Joachim to prevent him from telling the world of their actions, but he escapes.

Later, the cult members find Casca, believing her to be the Black Witch they worship. They offer her as a bride to the Great Goat, declaring that they will sacrifice Nina to celebrate the marriage. The ceremony is interrupted by both a group of Holy Knights and a group of spirits summoned by Casca. The Great Goat tries to escape, but is impaled by the Egg of the Perfect World and transformed into a monstrous pseudo-Apostle. He kills many Holy Knights and his own followers with his newfound power before once again trying to consummate his union with Casca. Guts shows up just in time to save her, and decapitates the transformed Great Goat in the ensuing battle.
