    Why a goat? It’s an odd choice considering the association with Satan.

      It’s an old testament sacrifice thing.

      Leviticus 17:7

      They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols[a] to whom they prostitute themselves.

      Edit: it appears in a few other places.
