Unabating Invisibility (Su)
 An invisible pygmy goat is usually invisible, mostly. It only gains +10 bonus to Stealth checks when moving or +20 when staying still (which only happens when an invisible pygmy goat is sleeping or sick) because those creatures tend to be loud, smelly, and rather unruly. After an invisible pygmy goat attacks, it becomes visible for 1d4 rounds.


Invisible pygmy goats are curious, capricious, and gluttonous magical creatures that could possible be called cute-looking, if they could be seen more often. Which is rare because of the "invisible" part.

It doesn't seem that adult invisible pygmy goats can see each other, so the pack members communicate with sounds and smells, which explains their tendency to be loud and smelly, but adult invisible pygmy goats seem to be able to see or at least detect the kids of the pack easily, despite their less intense smell—they are even louder, though, so that might be the method of their localization.

An invisible pygmy goat can be adopted as a familiar by characters with Improved Familiar feat (requires caster level 7).
