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 read this as pairings:

  • Phoenix and the Gorgon are an item
  • The Pegasus is pegging the Minetaur
  • ...
[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I mean... I wouldn't say no to the second one 😏

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Xatix@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Is this what mermaids look like to you?

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Xatix@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Chekhovs_Gun@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's what Fry wanted.

I remember fucking this is Monster Girl Quest.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Her pussy tastes like human.

[–] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 15 points 1 year 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.

Nuke that damn thing from orbit.

[–] owen@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

This is so epic

[–] Strobelt@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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)

And your offspring are just fish and horses

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

A Meritaur!

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alternativ you'd be a seahorse

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like a heart condition.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year 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 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

How did a horse fuck a fish, exactly?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Minotaur is the cow on top one

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Doh haha I knew that, dunno why I was thinking of centaurs at that moment. Question still stands though

[–] janAkali@lemmy.one 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I mean that's not the difficult part.

[–] bilboswaggings@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean a fish is just a lubed up fleshlight

So life UHH... finds a way

[–] Strobelt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How to say you're a dolphin without saying you're a dolphin

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

WHO THE FUCK GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO PUBLISH MY LIFE?

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OP has never seen a seahorse before
