Talk about your favorite creatures in ye olde folk tales and how you implement them in your setting or how a particular piece of media has the best interpretation for the.
Btw I was about to tell an user who thought that Onis weren't intimidating that the original Onis were just like the european Ogres just more metal
What type of minotaur do you like? >Labyrinth Master >Man eating warrior race

Onis are perfectly scary buddhist demons. If I ran into one I'd shit my pants. "Like an Oni with his club" means being in your element and almost invincible after all in Japan.

I like to think the Minotaur is somewhat a folk memory of the reverence the Minoans had for Bulls

Not that guy, but personally I'm quite fond of more intelligent Minotaur, like ruthless cunning warlords, rather than mindless berserk monsters. Not that being a ruthless tactician is incompatible with man eating. Gotta feed the army and demoralize the enemy somehow.

Minotaurs can probably work very well as their own race, and should be at least warlike but not necessary an all-evil race. Though I think they work best as particular cursed individuals than an actual race, which gives them more of a mythic creature vibe. If they are a race they start to become humanized.

Ogres are my faves.
I imagine them sort of as an offshoot of Homo Heidelbergensis taking an odd turn towards a more carnivorous diet.
Speaking of ogres, in Rune Quest 3rd. ed. ogres are described as "Cornish ogres" and depicted as quite good looking but I never got that reference. Were ogres in Cornish mythology different from others? I haven't found anything on the topic.
Maybe my google-fu is weak.

Also, the making of ogre-kin = magical realm fuel.
