Havgeit

Havgeit, sjøgeit eller fiskegeit er eit fabeldyr som har framkroppen til ei geit og bakkroppen til ein fisk.^[1]

Stjernebildet Steinbukken blir ofte framstilt som ei havgeit. Dette har vore gjort sidan bronsealderen i Mesopotamia. Då brukte babylonarane nemninga ^MULSUḪUR.MAŠ, 'Geitefisken', til å symbolisera guden Ea.^[2]^[3]
