Maria is an Estalian lop-eared goat, a rare breed to see in the Empire. One of the newer arrivals on the team, Maria is actually a long-time member of the herd. Estalia is known for its large goats, and Farmer Ed purchased her to breed a new generation of bigger, more fearsome Blood Bowl players. When he saw how zealously she guarded her babies from threats, though, he decided to train her in the game instead. Maria's kids include Buttercup, who's currently making a name for herself who aren't quite ready to join the team yet.
