My mythical monster

A minotaur can stand anywhere from 6-8 feet tall, with thick, coarse fur covering the all of their bodies. Usually, they have darker (or lighter), thicker hair atop their heads, much like a humans, which they commonly braid. (Both males and females) They have large, bull's head, including the horns which vary in curvature, length, whether they point up or down and of course warpaint, which usually is applied as rings encircling the horn. Female minotaurs have the same stubby horns as most antlered female animals do. Also, they have a bull's legs, which they stand upright with. They have the torso and arms of a human.


They are quite aggressive and possessive. Quick to anger, impatient and often times competitive. One book I read containing minotaur affairs, a civil war was waged within an entire minotaur country. It turned out they forgot why they were even fighting.
