I'm not remotely offended, thanks for the comment - good to get some engagement! You are, of course, correct. The use of Taurus is also there to represent the bull too.
However, I'd argue that in common usage if you said minotaur to someone they'd think 'half bull, half man' (whether linguistically correct or otherwise) and then you say 'wolftaur' and the association is immediate (half wolf, half man). So what I'm playing off is not linguistically accurate for sure - especially because it's a Greek word at root.
But I'd say that it's conceptually correct - if I say it to you, you know exactly and immediately what I mean. Do you see what I mean?
