The Habergeiss is a goat-bird hybrid creature of multiple appearances in Austrian and Germanic folklore. The name ‘Haber’ means buck or he-goat and the word ‘geiss’ means she-goat in Austrian German.
Originally the Habergeiss was a spirit of corn who was called upon by ancient people of Austrians and Germans to help create a good harvest during autumn. Later after the advent of Christianity to Europe, he was demonized. He was portrayed as a goat, a three-legged bird with the face of a goat, or as a hybrid between a bird and a goat. The Habergeiss would moan at night as a sign of death to come in Austria. Later, stories of the Habergeiis were later used to scare children. During carnivals, the Habergeiss is represented by two people dressed as a goat with a snapping mouth at. Such carniclas that feature the Habergeiss include Saint Nicholas Day Customs, at the Blochziehen, at the cutting of the maypole in the border land between Lower Austria and Styria and even on the occasion of social events like weddings.
