Sure beats being half fish half horse.

Ummm to clarify so is mom..

This?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Minotaur, not centaur. Human frame, bull head

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Mother: Goddess

Father: Manitaur - man-centaur

You: just some guy

Uh,

~~Both are only human above the waist.~~ (Never mind, I'm thinking of a centaur)

You'd just be a torso.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

No you're right. Googling minotaurs shows hoofed lowers, human torso, bull head.

But you're naturally buff with a nice face and great voice.

What if you're just some guy with minotaur strength and the mermaid ability to breathe underwater?

Imagine being just some guy. scratches head

How do you know I'm not?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Imagine the opposite. I guess a bulls head with a mermaids tail doesn't fit neither sea nor land very well.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

You’d just be a sea cow, so a manatee!

You use your tail to move through water, but you use your face to much vegetation and breathe air.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I feel like that would fit a surf-and-turf pretty well

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

neither one has human legs DNA

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess I'm confused what you mean. From ancient Greek mythology "The mythological accounts describe the Minotaur as having the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull."

Minus the trail the legs should essentially be human, no? But if we go into DNA then neither have any human DNA right? Since they're their own species and should have their own DNA.

The.minotaur often gets shown with hoofs (hooves?) and furry legs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I think that's other fantasy settings making their own interpretation, but the original minotaur from my understanding had human legs and feet.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Do we know that for certain? Maybe they have the DNA but it isn't the resulting phenotype. I.E. There is nothing preventing two brunettes from having redheaded children.
