They also have goat lower bodies, they look like satyrs or fauns.

Those are my Fauns/Satyr, (like Mr Tumnus in Narnia) they are quite mischevious creatures who like having fun and prank others.

Each time I represent something quite fun, prank, tricky, joke i use them. I think that cutting eyes and using them as a mask is a thing that Fauns could do

(basically like minions in Despicable me)

Making Waves.  
And the thing about Making Waves in a pond is that it causes a Ripple Effect.
