Mythical horned being (4)

I believe the answer is:

faun

(Other definitions for faun that I've seen before include "Deity in human shape, with horns and a goat's tail" , "Mr Tumnus or his ilk" , "Rural deity, half-man, half-goat" , "Rural deity with the form of a man-goat" , "mythical deity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
