Fenrais

the fenrais (sgl. Fanras) or tree-goat is a race of pygmy Goat bred by the Woodmen of Rhovanion.These goats have adapted to life among the trees, and are as at home in a tree as they are on the ground. One often finds a fanras in the branches of a tree nibbling at its leaves. Woodman children brush these goats daily to collect their wool, which is later woven into fine cloth. Billy goats provide horn for armor, leather for gloves and meat when the hunt is unsuccessful. Nanny goats enrich the Woodmen diet with milk and cheese. Fenrais are loved by the Woodmen, who believe them to give good luck to their owners.
