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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are there names for "winged-horses" and "three-headed dogs" in general?

[–] TomAwsm 3 points 4 months ago

Don't think so, which is probably why they are sometimes used as common nouns even though they're technically proper nouns.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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 😏

Is this what mermaids look like to you?

[–] Visstix 44 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Xatix 29 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Chekhovs_Gun 4 points 4 months ago

That's what Fry wanted.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox 3 points 4 months ago

I remember fucking this is Monster Girl Quest.

[–] jaybone 2 points 4 months ago

Her pussy tastes like human.

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 16 points 4 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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 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.

[–] Strobelt 4 points 4 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 4 months ago* (last edited 4 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 6 points 4 months ago

This Jason Momoa theory is seeming more plausible...

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

[–] Mun_Walker 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

And your offspring are just fish and horses

[–] Buddahriffic 4 points 4 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 2 points 4 months ago

A Meritaur!

[–] littlebluespark 14 points 4 months ago

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

[–] SomeGuy69 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Alternativ you'd be a seahorse

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In 6 points 4 months ago

Sounds like a heart condition.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] edgemaster72 7 points 4 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!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

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

[–] Lemminary 3 points 4 months ago

I... don't mind that. Nyaaah uwu

How did a horse fuck a fish, exactly?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Minotaur is the cow on top one

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