This is so epic

Nuke that damn thing from orbit.

Pretty sure that's Jason Momoa's IRL backstory, though. ☝🏼

And your offspring are just fish and horses

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Fish and bulls*.

The horse one is Centaur, and that has the same human half as mermaids. Maybe it would be able to make a being with the torso of a man, front legs of a horse and a mermaid tail sticking out the back.

A Meritaur!

Oh you might look like 'just a guy', but your preternatural skill with mazes and singing voice that leads people to risk their lives to hear better would be a dead giveaway that you were not so ordinary.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

The Minotaur was more about being effective at killing people in a maze. If he was good at mazes, he probably would have left.

Alternativ you'd be a seahorse

Sounds like a heart condition.

You'd be a guy who's hung like a bull and has fabulous hair, I guess that would be all right.

Replace 'guy' with 'girl' in that sentence and everything still checks out.

This Jason Momoa theory is seeming more plausible...

WHO THE FUCK GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO PUBLISH MY LIFE?

I would say the image OP meant a centaur and not a minotaur. But then the other way around would be a hippocampus! hippocampus

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

No they're saying the human half of a minotaur (from the waist down) and the human half of a merfolk (from the waist up).

Centaurs don't have horse heads, so they can't make a water horse.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The issue is that the bottom half of a minotaur is just the hind quarters of a bull. But you are right that centaurs miss the horse head too

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The Minotaur just had a bull's head, and sometimes a tail. Everything else was human. We usually imagine the shoulders as broad and bull-like too but the Greeks just went with bull's head (and sometimes tail, but just the tail, like when anime furries make cat girls. Yes I said it)
