Minotaurs

The minotaurs are the race of halfbeasts that the gods created by combining the insulari with bulls. Even the females are bull-like rather than cow-like, leading many scholars to believe that the gods combined the features of a single bull with the insulari rather than the entire population of the islands. They retain the legs of their ancestors, although they are much more muscular in order to hold up their heavier form. Like the satyrs, they have hooves instead of feet, as well as tails and horns. Their tails, though, are longer and bonier, and their horns are huge, each one half the size of their heads. Their torsos and arms are the same shape of those of their ancestors (except, once again, for their increased muscle mass), but covered in short fur. The most obvious difference between modern minotaurs and their insulari ancestors is their head. Rather than a humanlike face, they have the head of a bull. They are known for their violent behavior towards other races, often raiding villages and ships that enter their territory, which covers all of the southeastern islands. They live in a form of military autocracy, where the leader is the one with the best fighting capabilities. He or she can be overthrown at any point if defeated in combat. Despite all of this, they still refuse to kill animals, and feed exclusively on plants.
