Description The product of an unholy union between Queen Pasiphae and the Cretan Bull -- a bull which King Minos (Pasiphae's husband) was meant to sacrifice to Poseidon. Minos found the bull too beautiful to kill and kept it for himself and offered a normal bull in return. Enraged, Poseidon punished Minos by making his wife Pasiphae lust for the Cretan Bull, resulting in a savage child that was half bull and half man.

The Minotaur was sealed inside the Labyrinth, and every few years the city of Athens (having lost a war against Minos) had to give 14 youths to feed the beast. Eventually both monster and maze were defeated by the hero Theseus with the help of Minos' daughter Ariadne.

This is a great, fresh new take on an overused monster.

 This is definitely the most memorably-twisted Minotaur I have ever seen; this looks like the sort of poor, miserable man-beast who might welcome the release of Death (though that's a horrible thing to say about any creature).

I like the way these monsters invoke the traditional descriptions in motif, but take wildly different directions in the details.

That show was a pretty big influence on me, actually. Only natural it would show through!

A disgusting creature that really captures how this monster should really look. A nasty combination of man and bull, like some deformed baby.

I'd like to think that's a delightfully awful cow pun, instead of just a shortening of "man boobs."

ICK!

And this is why you should never have sex with (non-sapient) animals.
