So I was just browsing through revelations as one is wont to do on a Monday night and look what I came across.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Sounds like a Heptagoat to me!
Actually upon further consideration the Heptagoat is most likely the opposite of this lamb. The lamb is the symbol of our Lord while the goat is the symbol of the Devil.
I don’t know much of the lore behind the Heptagoat, maybe Nitebrite can help, but I do know that the three levels of caprine authority are crown of eyes, crown of horns, and crown of hearts. Eyes and horns are already present in this passage and hearts could easily be an alternate translation of spirits. We also have the multiple repetitions of 7 used to create the Heptagoat.

The Devils are also frequently referenced as having goat demons so goats having something to do with Devils would fit. I suppose this means that if we are to truly defeat hell we don’t need weapons or soldiers. We need a sheep. Not just any sheep. Not even an Oversheep or an Ubersheep. But a Heptasheep!
Yet a Heptasheep is born of an Ewebersheep, surely?
So which is a better name for the goat / sheep, Satan or Lucifer or something else?
The lamb is agreed upon to be Jesus so if we follow a strictly biblical interpretation the Heptagoat is the antichrist.
So bringing about the antichrist is cheaper than cider. Got it.
You realize you’re giving FBG ideas, don’t you? Ewebersheep? How can they resist?

Nah, the Heptagoat is more expensive, to the tune of about 5k echoes.[li]
I would call it Stan. Stan Lucioni the sixth born out of a family of sixty six goats.

An_ocelot has arranged for charity auction of Cider before. Maybe this time around, we can arrange a charity auction of the antichrist.
Better not mention it too loudly, though.
(There was mention of auctioning an express one-way ticket to NORTH, but we all agreed it might not be a good idea from a realistic point of view.)

The Bishop isn’t fearless. If he runs from an owl, the Heptagoat probably will make him do worse.
Okay, that’s it. I’m going to have to go finish cases about town and get myself an owl. I really need to see the Bishop run from something!
(and, well, ‘Cat’, owls look delicious, and any bird is a great toy!)
He is headbutting a goat, not a sponge or a horizontal trampoline.
