Sanguine's Black Goat

WeerW3ir · January 2016

So um... its a bug or this goat is supposed to have glowing eyes? To be honest he had once. Since yesterday, he not have.

I was going to ask the same thing! I'm guessing that there is something that triggers the goat's eyes to glow but I've yet to figure out what it is. . . .

Given the goat's description in the Crown Store, I believe it is a feature.

The awesome thing about it is that ZOS didn't straight-up tell us about this feature. They hinted it on the description, but they priced the goat as much as the cheaper pets and they put it under the "domestic" tab instead of under the "daedric" tab, which makes most players think that the description is just fluff and that the goat is completely normal.

Honestly this is the best thing ever.

It does seem to randomly come and go (the glowing red eyes). I don't know if that is working as intended or a bug of some kind.

His eyes glow when he drinks the blood of your enemies.

Sanguine means blood-red. I had been wondering about the description and the name. Cheeky cheeky.

Sangre is the Spanish word for blood.

Sanguine is the Daedric Prince of Debauchery. His quests are, as expected, lots of fun, which puts him at the top of my list of favorite Daedric Princes (along with Hermaeus Mora).

Does the goat actually whisper like it says in the description?

LBC_Demon · January 2016

I don't know but my goat has the glowing eyes right now and I didn't kill anyone and my guild mate's is also glowing and he was doing his writs so it's not off of feeding.

It must be timed and the same time for everyone.

Rozyn · January 2016

I thought maybe my goat's eyes triggered when I did something darker. First time it went off when I accidentally killed a guard (I've since turned that setting off) and today they started glowing after I chose to kill an NPC at the end of a quest. Guess it's just random, but I'm going to keep pretending it's due to my naughty misdeeds. >.<

Nope, unfortunately.

His eyes glowing again now.

therealAST · January 2016

Anyone know how this relates to the Werewolf or the Vampire????? Crazy mine glows red on a schedule... hint hint

Slammer99uk · January 2016

I dont think it has anything to do with location or what you are doing. Mine glowed today in Davon's Watch while running around generally doing nothing, and again while fishing in Wrothar.

DemonDruaga · January 2016

i didn't saw mine glowing for a few days now.. would love to know how the timers are or how to trigger

i mean.. it's just pure evil when it stands behind you with those eyes
maybe it has something to do with the moon phases..?

Volkodav · January 2016

Since Sanguine means "blood red",his eyes should be glowing red. :}

Number_51 · January 2016

I noticed my goat's eyes glowing for the first time while I stealing things. I though maybe that was the trigger but after trying again the next day they didn't glow.

I also swear I heard a whisper after killing a general at a dolmen. It was too quiet to make out what it said over Molag Bal's booming voice and I'm not even entirely sure if it was the goat whispering, so...

DragonSamurai360 · January 2016

I just got the goat, what time or day do they start glowing? If there isn't a specific time, when did it's eyes start glowing for you? After reading this thread I just had to get it, to go with my evil Nightblade I plan on making when it gets closer to the upcoming Thieves Guild DLC.

WeerW3ir · February 2016

Okay. Everyone is wrong! i have the answer! His eyes is glowing once per week on that day when you bought him. only for some hour.

I don't believe so. Mine didn't glow the day I bought it. My guild mate and I have ours glowing at the same time and he bought it way after me.

Lots of good theories here. Wish I could figure it out. I LOVE my Sanguine Goat and with my Wolf mount that also has red glowing eyes, I look damn cool when they are both glowing at the same time. Well, the wolf's eyes are always red but if I could figure out why the Goat's eyes glow it would be nice.

SydneyGrey · March 2017

Mine glowed when I was killing daedra once.
But then once his eyes started glowing when there weren't any daedra around, so the mystery continues.

Jciampi · March 2017

The description mentioned he was used in black sacraments and sacrifices I believe. Though it's been a while now since I got him. Love the glowing eyes. One of my favorite pets only bested by the loon. The random goat noises are awesome when you're sneaking around and he just neigh out of nowhere. XD

HINT: becoming a vampire

The Goats Eyes glow periodically. I am not sure of the period, but it is about once a week. I don't think it is a full moon, unless it is the full moon of the game, not of the real world. In fact, if it was the game, that would be about once a week given the time scale.

Nighn_9 · January 2018

Bringing this thread back up..... So it's known now that the goat has something to do with the werewolf and vampire bite timer or something like that.. what I'm wanting to know is if there are any other non combat pets that do special things like this that anyone knows of?

SisterGoat · January 2018

Some people think it has to do with the moon cycle in game, but it also might be random. If its eyes are glow red for you, everybody who owns one will also have its eyes glowing at the same time. I have one and it's one of my favorite pets.

The Dire Pony's eyes also glow red randomly, but it's not like how Sanguine's Goat eyes glow.

Living_Ded · January 2018

it's cute how everyone is kind of answering but not answering the original poster.

The goat's eyes glow when the bloodfiends are out. They are the enemy mobs that when bitten will give you vampirism. Yes, it does relate to the moons in that bloodfiends are only out on moonless nights. most of this info is mentioned in online guides. the goat has been cited in a few of them as a good indicator of when you might be able to find bloodfiends (if they haven't been ruthlessly murdered by other players

)

Likewise the werewolf mobs are only out on full moon nights iirc.

Sgtmeg · January 2018

Pretty upset that my white ritual goat doesn't do this

Skipped Sanguine's goat because I already had the brown one, and picked up the white with crown gems when I saw the description was similar. Would've definitely gone for Sanguine's if I knew the eyes glow.

lonewolf26 · January 2018

The goat's eyes glow red corresponding to nights when vampires that can give the player vampirism spawn. When the hosts wires glow, and it's night in game go to the spawn points in Reapers March, Bangkorai or the Rift.

It's Black Phillip!! That goat is a Witch!!!
