ask the authorities here.  One description even showed the body of a 
buck with a human torso.  I believe this is entirely incorrect.

After consulting several books, here is the summarized version:  A Faun 
is asscociated with Satyrs.  They are mischievous and have the legs, 
ears and tail of a deer and the face and body of a man. 

So yes, the body of a buck with a human torso (and face) would be 
correct.

Hope that helps ~
