Minotaurs: Nose Rings

Minotaurs: Nose Rings

Original: Ok Folks...whatcha think?

Personally, I love these new images...very intimidating...I love the sense of size (that the old one appeared to lack). The relative size against the human Templar was a nice comparison.

My only question WP: is will this new image allow for armoring of our Minotaurs? Or do we lose that ability with the improved rendering?

Answer: Actually, nose rings did come up at one point in discussion during the Mino design process, and we opted not to go with them.

The way I figure it, they're a symbol of servitude - Elves used to attach chains to nose rings and lead them around by the nose (quite literally!).

As big strong brutes who value their freedom above all else, any self respecting Mino would sooner die than wear one.
