The satyr has appeared in all five editions of the "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game, having been introduced in 1976 in the earliest edition, in Supplement IV: "Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes" (1976), then in the first edition of the Monster Manual (1977), where it is described as a sylvan woodland inhabitant primarily interested in sport such as frolicking, piping, and chasing wood nymphs. The life history of satyrs was further detailed in "Dragon" No. 155 (March 1990), in "The Ecology of the Satyr." The satyr was later detailed as a playable character race in "The Complete Book of Humanoids" (1993), and is later presented as a playable character race again in ' (1995). The satyr appears in the Monster Manual for the 3.0 edition. "Savage Species" (2003) presented the satyr as both a race and a playable class. The satyr appears in the revised Monster Manual for version 3.5 and also appears in the Monster Manual for the 4th edition, and as a playable character race in the "Heroes of the Feywild" sourcebook (2011).
