Tolepas

Tolepas is a Catoblepas, a subspecies of Minotaur from Ethiopia. It is said to have the body of a cape buffalo. Its head is always pointing downwards due to its head being heavy. Its stare or breath is said to either turn people into stone, or kill them. In spite of this rumour, Catoblepas are generally lethargic/demure in nature and rarely display aggressive behaviours.
