Musimon rampant (Period)

The musimon is an heraldic monster said to be a combination of a goat and a ram, with the horns of both.  It’s considered a period charge, described (though not attributed) by Guillim, 1610 [179].  The Society grants no difference between the musimon and the goat.

The musimon does not seem to have a default posture; the illustration shows a musimon rampant.  For related charges, see goat, sheep.
