In the grasslands north of the Neshu's desert river valley, west of the Tengu's mountain nesting grounds, there are great cities and nomadic herds of cattlefolk--commonly called minotaurs. This race resembles humanoid cattle, with subraces ranging from bull-like (cow, bison) in the south, to ram-like (sheep, goat) in the north, and even buck-like (antelope, gazelle) in the west. They are a proud and ancient people.
NOTE: Stag-like minotaurs resembling deer, elk, moose, caribou, etc. are not known in Monvesia.
