Minotaurling

[CrusaderJoe]

A child walks into their parent's room and asks "Mommy, daddy, where do babies come from". Shocked the parents look at each other, dreading this day for years. With a desperate attempt to keep her child's innocent a bit longer the mother begins "Well sweetie, when a mommy minotaur and a daddy halfling loves each other very very much the pseudodragon brings a baby in a basket and leaves it on the door step..."

My dear friends, that mother is lying to her child. Baby Minotaurlings come from a halfling and minotaur bumping uglies.

I know there's a story behind the creation of this; I don't know if it would be better or worse to know about it, though.

[Metahuman1]

I do. I want to know the story.

Among other character ideas rejected by the DM was my version of this, the Minitaur! Thanks for making a better version of it!

Children: Minitaurs

Or crack some fluff up about how minitaur is a slur to minotaurlings?

Shocked the paeents look at each other, dressing this day for years.

I think you meant parents and dreading.

Glad you specified that the mother is the minotaur... x.x

Yeah the phone likes to forget letters.

Well usually the "horrible monster" parent is male... So pointing out that the mother is the monstrous race is just fun.

Now I'm imagining a minotaur and halfing bumping uglies...and yet I do not regret this imagery.

My wife's joke was essentially this.
