The Goat brings an air of solemn absurdity to the carriage: a gentlemanly passenger in white paper, speaking with his eyes firmly shut. There is something oddly self-contained about him, as if the strangest conversations require no eye contact at all.

The Goat appears as a passenger seated opposite Alice in the train, dressed in white paper. He speaks with his eyes shut, contributing to the scene’s dreamlike parade of unlikely fellow travelers. No further history or arc is given for him.
Description
A male goat with a distinctly goatlike form, he sits opposite Alice in the train carriage wearing clothing made of white paper. His eyes remain shut while he speaks, lending his face an inward, composed look. The source gives no further detail about his coloring, build, or accessories; his unusual paper attire and self-contained presence define the image. The Goat is identified by its animal form and its beard, the one unusual feature noted about its appearance. The beard seems to melt away when touched, giving its otherwise simple silhouette an uncanny quality. Its coloring, size, clothing, and other facial details are not specified, so its bearded profile is the clearest visual marker.
