This one is pretty simple. You need horns, ears, furry pants and a scarf. My current set up includes the faun pants we have available on our costume page, some curved horns and our large elf style ear. I swap out scarves depending on how I feel that day. I also normally carry around a over the shoulder leather bag to keep various articles (fauns in Narnia didn’t need cell phones or wallets I guess).
I am currently working on a prototype faun ear, but it might have to be a headband style ear so you will need longer hair to wear them.
Another problem with a good faun set up is the foot. With Narnia and now Pan’s Labyrinth, people are expecting fauns and satyrs to have the goat style leg. The only comfortable way to do this is to have the fur pants a little longer than needed and to stand on your tip toes during photos. I am also working on a hoof that will strap on over a shoe, so that it pokes out from the fur at the bottom. Currently I just wear some square toed brown shoes which seems to make people happy enough (but not me, being a perfectionist).
I am also designing a faun mask like the one used in Pan’s Labyrinth, but that is a project I have not started to tackle just yet.
