This is what it feels like to have bilingual parents that only teach you English.

Not to mention when that 'English' that you learn from them is a mix of non-existing, made-up words in three languages and bad pronunciations.. and voilà, you can only use that 'language' with your parents.
That's what it's like with parents that know another language but didn't have formal education so you speak to anyone in that language but you're crude and using slang for everything
We did that. My spouse speaks native Korean, I speak Tagalog as a second language (English native), and our kids only know English. I think Tagalog is quite useless so I haven't bothered teaching them, but my spouse has no excuse. I speak a little German, but not enough to teach them, just enough to curse while driving.
I've resorted to learning Spanish with my kids, which is at least useful, but I'm sure I'm teaching the wrong.

And the opposite is just a seahorse.
uM acKchuAllY that would be a centaur/mermaid hybrid
That's your cool older brother Aquadonnis the Seahorse God and you're just Ben

So, a mertaur?
Sounds like a pegacorn: Head of a pegasus and the body of a unicorn.
I love this. My next mounted D&D character is absolutely going to ride a Pegacorn.
You're gonna what a corn?
Did I stutter?
....oooh-kaaay.
I guess we'll get a roll for animal handling, but that's going to be a strength check in this situation.
Also performance at very high, because obviously everyone is looking on in horror and it's going to take every ounce of charisma you've got to hold this village's respect.
You'd have to crit to avoid disgust, respect isn't even on the table at this point.
lol.
Good rolls. The beast leers at you impressed and satisfied. Apart from isolated sounds of vomitting and children crying, the townsfolk seem to understand their dire situation calls for a hero who can demonstrate such rigor and passion.
I'm starting to think there's a relevant dropout for everything. Every time I watch any of their shows I'm thinking "Oh man, I'd love that as a gif..."
It helps that Brennan Lee Mulligan is a comedic genius that is somehow able to tap and channel the humor leylines.
Make the lore be that they are both recessive traits, so your version of a Pegacorn is ridiculously rare.
I had to reread that sentence several times because I kept reading it as “asparagus” instead of “Pegasus.”

"Naaaaaayyyyy"
Wait, don't minotaur also have hoofed legs like a satyr?? They'd end up with something non-human if you only get parts from the parents.
I was under the impression it looks just like a human with a bull's head (and superstrenght).
Also somehow not herbivore.
Ive seen both depictions i think
Yea, I've seen both, too, but the hoofed legs far outnumber human legs.
Is this how satyr are born?

Imagine the opposite. I guess a bulls head with a mermaids tail doesn't fit neither sea nor land very well.
You’d just be a sea cow, so a manatee!
You use your tail to move through water, but you use your face to much vegetation and breathe air.
I feel like that would fit a surf-and-turf pretty well
But you're naturally buff with a nice face and great voice.
Imagine being just some guy. scratches head
don't think about them fucking don't think about them fucking don't think about them fucking don't think about them fucking don't think about them fucking don't think about them fucking don't think about them fucking don't think about them fucking
Well, if we're going off of classical depictions of the species in question, that isn't too hard.
But now don't think about the minotaur jerking it over a clutch of mermaid eggs.
Uh,
~~Both are only human above the waist.~~ (Never mind, I'm thinking of a centaur)
You'd just be a torso.
No you're right. Googling minotaurs shows hoofed lowers, human torso, bull head.

neither one has human legs DNA
Do we know that for certain? Maybe they have the DNA but it isn't the resulting phenotype. I.E. There is nothing preventing two brunettes from having redheaded children.
I guess I'm confused what you mean. From ancient Greek mythology "The mythological accounts describe the Minotaur as having the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull."
Minus the trail the legs should essentially be human, no? But if we go into DNA then neither have any human DNA right? Since they're their own species and should have their own DNA.
The.minotaur often gets shown with hoofs (hooves?) and furry legs
I think that's other fantasy settings making their own interpretation, but the original minotaur from my understanding had human legs and feet.
*Some girl
Ummm to clarify so is mom..
This?
Minotaur, not centaur. Human frame, bull head
What if you're just some guy with minotaur strength and the mermaid ability to breathe underwater?
Would it be a Minomaid or a Mermataur?
Have to be mermataur. Minomaid is orange juice ;)
Mother: Goddess
Father: Manitaur - man-centaur
You: just some guy
How do you know I'm not?
Sure beats being half fish half horse.
