Goats are among the most common animals thatSkyrimplayers will come across as they adventure the Bethesda Softworks open-world RPG, and sometimes they act in strange ways. OneSkyrimplayer has captured a moment in which a goat is walking through an abnormal location as it attempts to climb a waterfall.
Twitter user KOAwkwardness recently posted a clip of their adventures inSkyrimin which they move the camera fromthird-personto first-person as they come across a waterfall. Standing on a rock near the edge of the waterfall, theSkyrimplayer observes a goat that is running in place in a rocky part that’s slightly calmer. The goat continues to sprint as if it were capable of climbing the waterfall. Unfortunately, it is to no avail as it seems stuck between three rocks where the river turns into a waterfall.

KOAwkwardness’Skyrimclip begins with the player running up a riverside boulder while donning a full suit of armor with a cowl and wielding anElven weapon. As theSkyrimfan approaches the part of the river that becomes a waterfall, a goat appears nearby that seems stuck in the swift current. The goat is seen running without getting anywhere, and it’s noticeably stuck in a pocket that prevents it from being thrown to the bottom due to the current of the river.
At no point in KOAwkwardness’Skyrimvideo does the goat stop running, which may suggest that if it had stood still, it could have been swept away. TheSkyrimclip ends before the goat escapes from the pocket of rocks it got stuck in, which may imply that it remains in the same spot even still in an eternal struggle between the goat and waterfall. While most goats inSkyrimreward players with Goat Hide and Leg of Goat which can be used toSmith items inSkyrimor cook meals respectively, this one would’ve been sent quite a distance downstream if the player chose to kill it and try to loot the corpse.
Since the river is unable to move the goat outside the pocket of rocks it’s stuck in, the smallSkyrimanimal may be as fast as the wild river transitioning into a waterfall. Because the goat is unable to run up theSkyrimwaterfallbased on its positioning, it’s currently unclear if it would have been able to climb this part of the river to get to a calmer area if it were unstuck. Although KOAwkwardness chose not to help or hinder the goat in theirSkyrimclip, other players may choose to give it a boost in one direction or the other with the Unrelenting Force shout.
