More Than a Shaggy Person

[The Human Target]

Savage bull, bovine legs and hooves, tail, covered in hair.

I like the 3e and 4e depictions, but the 4e PC version is a little too nice looking.

Er... several breeds of cows have horns. Here's a longhorn cow with young.

And yet what is the general perception of cows? Docile beasts(except when stampeding) used for milk and meat. Bulls, on the other hand, are typically seen as more dangerous and temperamental, and are used in various parts of the world for dangerous sport.

 

[Jeff Carlsen]

There are two kinds of Minotaur, the classical monster and the species. I think they should be entirely divorced from one another, with the species perhaps given a different name.

The monster is a man who has been cursed. The design should reflect that. Mostly human (or elf, dwarf, halfling, etc.) with a bull's head. Human feet, maybe a little extra hair, and if a woman is cursed, she keeps her breasts.

The species is a humanoid bovine. Here, the hooves and fur are proper, and the women should have udders instead of breasts.

Both of these designs have a place in the game, but they should be unrelated to one another.

I like this new format, though I have to admit the last question stumped me. I don't know which form I prefer: Breasts/Udders?

Either way it's udderly wrong.

Oh, and all hail the Cow-King!

Am I the only one who voted for no female minotaurs?

It just bugs me that there would be female minotaurs. The minotaur is by definition male. Having female ones makes it seem like a race. It's like if there were male medusas, male harpies, and male nymphs. It just doesn't make sense.

KID: Where do baby minotaurs come from?
DAD: When a human queen and a divine bull love each other very much.... err they go to the baby store and buy the defective one for ½ off.

There are: Maedar (sp?).

You don't think a woman could be cursed in the same manner?

 

[GX.Sigma]

You don't think a woman could be cursed in the same manner?

Sure, if it's a curse thing.

I just simply love that someone on the design team is saying, "Every humanoid creature doesn't constitute a race."

Lots of monsters could and SHOULD be one-offs, single tribes, cursed individuals, etc.
