    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.

        You never know, they might find out you speak Tagalog and, wanting to have learned another language, wonder why you never bothered to teach them. What you consider to be useless might be very intriguing to them.

          Eh, I’ve told them, but they don’t seem to care. I teach them a few words here and there, but they seem much more interested in Spanish because our neighbors are hispanic.

        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.”

    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.

      You use your tail to move through water, but you use your face to much vegetation and breathe air.

      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.

      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.

          I think that’s other fantasy settings making their own interpretation, but the original minotaur from my understanding had human legs and feet.

    Both are only human above the waist. (Never mind, I’m thinking of a centaur)
