Zoat
The Zoats are a race of centaur-like lizard creatures that appear in Games Workshops ''Warhammer Fantasy''. Zoats were also present in the earliest editions of Warhammer's companion ''Warhammer 40,000'' science-fiction setting, but have since been written out of the background.
Zoats are large, strange, centaurlike creatures, representing many fantasy archetypes related to nature and wilderness (and, in their Warhammer 40,000 incarnation, organic technology). In Warhammer, Zoats are powerful forest magicians, but also secretive isolationists, living only in the deepest woodlands and avoiding contact with outsiders if at all possible. By contrast, the Zoats of Warhammer 40,000 were a much more cosmopolitan species, often found fighting as mercenaries. They communicated telepathically, and had other prodigious abilities to assimilate into other cultures. Zoats in Warhammer Fantasy fight with heavy stone maces called sky-staves, while those in WH40K were equipped with futuristic organic weapons.
==Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Role-play==
Zoats were not included in the "bestiary" for the first (1983) and second (1984) editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle but were brought into the 3rd (1987) edition and appeared in ''Warhammer Armies'' as an ally contingent available to the Wood Elf army. The original Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay was derived from 3rd Edition WFB and they were given an entry in the Bestiary for the 1st Edition and subsequent reprints. In Warhammer 3rd edition and WFRP, Lizardman races fear Zoats for unknown reasons.
Zoats did not appear in the 4th (1992) edition of Warhammer, or in any subsequent edition thereafter, until they were reintroduced, their background, appearance, and character almost unchanged, by the 2011 "Storm of Magic" supplement for the 8th edition of the game.
