While Pan is primarily the God of Shepherds, Puck is usually a denizen of the wild woods, and is said to love wild animals, and prone to transmogrification into them. He is said to be a trickster, and always causing trouble for humans. He has a parallel mediaeval instance in the fairy Robin Goodfellow.
In Ireland the word "puck" is still sometimes used to mean "goat".
