Description 'What's the point of having horns? I'm not a goat!' - Orion

I've been thinking about that same question for quite some time now. Orion is a shapeshifter, something I thought was a good idea almost a decade ago when I created him. One of the things I gave him were horns, but why? It looks cool, but having horns is a bit ridiculous if you don't headbutt someone on a regular basis, I think...

So what's a good reason for a faun/satyr/demon/other human(oid) to have horns? besides showering them with horny jokes


Orion is part of a story I am working on, called 'a State of Equilibrium'.

You can find more info about the character here:

  

Here is where I will dump more art and info about my OCs and my world:

And here is the prologue of my story:
Prologue - a State of Equilibrium
There was that feeling again. He was used to it, after suffering from it for years. It was so unpleasant though that he still couldn't ignore it. It felt like his skin was pinched by thousands of hot, long needles. It always happened when it was time for him to wake up. Luckily it only lasted a second, and it was just a fraction of the misery that already darkened him. The pain faded, and he stood up in the middle of an endless sea of grass, blades moving slowly in the wind.  The pieces of his armour clattered softly against each other. Dark blood stained the shining metal, but it wasn't his. He wondered why he always wore it; he didn't need protection. Getting wounded was something he didn't care about. Maybe he should leave it behind. He started fumbling with the clasps of his armour, while he looked at his surroundings. Only a few gnarled trees were scattered amongst this dull, monotone la

I was still considering to throw those horns away, but now he has become your favourite for a second time; I'll keep them Don't get used to them though; he summons them in my entire 'book' only twice or so, he isn't that fond of them

Pfft, not fond of them, tsk, is that an insult? HhhhhMMMMM?! I might just draw him with Terra to convince him horns are awesome after all~! (Though Terra is not too fond of her horns as well...)

ahh, let him have something to whine about, though I would love to see Terra trying to change his mind  lol, everyone loves horns except the ones having them XD maybe Terra and Orion should start the horny version of alcoholics anonymous, were people can talk about their odd facial growths and learn how to live with them

Pffrt hahaha, that would be great! But if Orion doesn't like his horns, then why grow them in the first place?

hihi, I can imagine it already XD Well, those horns come together with a set of wings, and those are pretty useful - oh, and a tail. unfortunately for him he can't summon only the wings; it's all or nothing! Still thinking about this though; I haven't figured out all the rules about magic and shapeshifting
