Homo sapiens bovidae.


Someone commented that "bovidae" was a term that would not be used
by scientists. How about nobilis (as in Homo sapiens nobilis i.e. elves).
Nobilis, a racist and inappropriate designation if I ever heard one.


As for the idea -- I think its cool. Some of the bonuses should be toned down,
but otherwise its OK. And BTW, Minotaurs should not be rearranged trolls. That
defeats the whole purpose of new species.

it fitting considering the era...
