Cows obviously! One evening, after seeing a film featuring centaurs, I wondered what the local version would be. Some research allowed me to see that animal hybrids in the history of art (like the majority of active characters) were male. Who would imagine the minotaur grazing daisies in a field? So I undertook the creation of my own Normandy hybrid cow, with red hair for a punkette look.

Here again, antlers are male attributes, which testify to strength, power and reproductive capacity. They are also trophies and the deer, although king of the forests, is a hunted animal.
