In your picture the Minotaur has hooves.

Wikipedia:

a mythical creature portrayed during classical antiquity with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man

You either have to accept (by your definition) a Hoove or by wikipedia at least a Tail. Shown in many wiki pictures.

(Judged by the second picture, apparently also a very tiny dick)

I think it's worth noting that Pegasus and Cerberus are proper names of individual creatures, not species.

I read this as pairings:

  • Phoenix and the Gorgon are an item
  • The Pegasus is pegging the Minetaur
  • ...

I mean... I wouldn't say no to the second one ๐Ÿ˜

Is this what mermaids look like to you?

So the top half of a minotaur is human, according to you?

[-] Xatix@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

Sorry, mixed up centaurs and minotaurs. Still gonna leave the fishman here because its nice.

Her pussy tastes like human.

[-] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 16 points 6 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.

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

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 32 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[-] Strobelt@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 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)

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

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

This Jason Momoa theory is seeming more plausible...

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

[-] Mun_Walker@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

And your offspring are just fish and horses

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 6 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.

[-] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

A Meritaur!

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Pretty sure that's Jason Momoa's IRL backstory, though. โ˜๐Ÿผ

Alternativ you'd be a seahorse

Sounds like a heart condition.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 6 months ago

And your sibling got the other halves and you spent hours a day explaining to strangers that you are related

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

And being the fully human one you'd probably be considered the weirdo. You'd look angrily at your sibling and think "what a load of bullfish!"

[-] SamsonSeinfelder@feddit.de 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The only human part of a minotaur is the arms/torso, right? He still will have hooves and a tail.

EDIT: Wikipedia:

with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man

How did a horse fuck a fish, exactly?

Biology fact - fish can reproduce externally. Female lays the unfertilised eggs and male fish squeezes milt (spermes) on top.
