Capricorn. A mysterious beast living half on land and half in water, how does it cope with such extremes? Half goat half fish a ridiculous combination suffering from non-existence in this world or the world of myths. It smells fishy and the goat part’s damp. Thrashing about in water but on ground it would stamp. Living in rock pools or maybe a marsh. Whatever the weather its living is harsh.
