I can't think of any offhand myself.2) Would you include such things (if they exist) in a minotaur family tree? Seeing as bulls (minotaurs) are merely male versions of bovines, and antelopes and gazelles fall into the same sub-family taxonomically speaking.3) Would you extend such a grouping to include the larger family of Bovidae to encompass minotaurs and related beings (such as goatmen)?and, finally,4) What are all the various horned half-men/bovine/minotaur types of creatures that have come before?Off the top of my head, I can think of:MinotaurBargdaGoat-MenYak-MenActaeonSatyr/Faun(To clarify, I'm only looking for bipeds, not quadripeds such as the bariaur or centaur. At this point, I'm not too concerned about type- the Actaeon and Satyr are Fey, for instance- but if you know offhand what type they might be, feel free to mention it).</blockquote>
