Indian food isn't really my thing, but there's a place not far from us that's pretty good. So I'll take that.

Ockham's Spoon Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Otyugh. This monster is practically an animated pile of offal which makes a neo-otyugh a new pile of animated offal, which is an oxymoron. Besides which, did we really need a next generation version of this monster?

Cancer Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Do female minotaurs have udders? Do female centaurs have both fore and aft mammary apparatuses? That way lies madness. OTOH, Chiron the centaur is one of the truly great and admirable entities in Greek mythology, while the original Minotaur was nothing but a tragic anthropophagic monster. Therefore, centaurs.
