That also gives you access to the double pun--his iconic quote could be, "It's a long way to tip a Rary!" With a meaningful glare at any bored looking rural teenagers.

I'll admit that I voted Minobard for the pun alone. The fact that its an cowsome concept is secondary.
Not sure if this had been mentioned, but a Minotaur knight: Sir Loin of Beaf?
The Minobard probably should study under the Justified Ancients of Moo Moo.

RIP Minotaur Bard
So I've got some bad news (bad moos?).
After about four months of play, Kairam, the Minotaur Bard, has shuffled off this mortal coil and gone to join the big pasture in the sky.
I'm posting his final stats here for posterity, to memorialize what may be one of the only times anyone will actually see a minotaur bard played at an actual D&D table, with a straight face and a compelling story and even a bit of pathos. Since he would not be played without ENWorld, I feel like everyone here has some small part of him.

Story
Born on Taladas, Kairam lost his love to a rival in ritual combat and set out on the sea in an attempt to forget. He served aboard the infamous minotaur pirate vessel Wavereaver for a time, and after a "disagreement," left, but on fairly good terms. In his travels, he befriended a fellow sailor from Taladas named Valen, a powerful spellcaster determined to join the Towers of High Sorcery. Thinking that this would be a great opportunity to see a continent that didn't already revile him, he joined his new friend.
His adventures took him to Thorbardin, where he reunited the Hammer of Kalas with the dwarven people, and was rewarded for his service with a sword named Agland Zan, a magical longsword made to fell evil dragons, forged of reddish steel.
He helped Valen find the last remaining Tower of High Sorcery, and was killed in service to his friend, helping him to pass the test in the tower. His last word was reportedly the name of his loved one...

And of course his picture, which I am happy to say is a fairly sensible portrayal of what he looked like in my head. But a heads up for folks googling around for character pictures: "sexy minotaur" is NOT an awesome google search!
He was fun and I am sad to see him go!
But my vengeance on the DM is playing a tinker gnome wild sorcerer, so I think we'll be fine!

I voted for Rogue Bull, so I'm just going to say "I told you so," even if I actually did nothing of the sort. 
"Vengeance is mine, sayeth the DM."
Ooooh. That's asking for trouble; i like it.But my vengeance on the DM is playing a tinker gnome wild sorcerer, so I think we'll be fine!

It was a mooving service, though. Even if the preacher did milk it for all it was worth. And don't worry about the deceased. I'm sure when he grazed into the eyes of death, he cudn't have been more dignified.
By the way, what are they serving at the wake? It smells delicious! Is that steak?

I just happened to stumble upon this thread and must say that reading through it has been absolutely moo-velous!
