In D&D and Pathfinder, Baphomet is the Demon Lord of Minotaurs. Only a vague resemblance to the Templar/Eliphas Levi figure. Playing around with several ideas with coloring here.
I really liked Wayne Reynolds' version for Paizo, and there's no way I'm gonna compete with Wayne Reynolds levels of awesome, so I went a slightly different direction. The dorky part; Cape Buffalo are not only one of my favorite bovids, but since Baphomet's arch-enemy, Yeenoghu, is a hyena dude, I figured it was an appropriate species to pull on for imagery. I figured a Cape Buffalo guy would have his own Abyssal Oxpeckers. Maybe they fly around PCs and block LOS, etc, while the PCs are trying to fight a giant minotaur demon?

Mixed feelings.
Okay; I take it for granted that any player who wants a monster character does not care about power level - they just want an awesome minotaur/gnoll/catfolk/bullywug/whatever character. Ordinarily I like minotaurs as a player option and I do kinda like the "conflicted race" idea (D&D's so full of species which have this really solid idea of what they are, it makes sense that at least one group would be in transition or at least not homogenous). But I kinda also like the idea of reserving minotaurs as "monsters" - as awesome looking "big guns" the DM can throw at the players.
