The Minotaur, part man, part bull.
The monster under the palace of King Minos was called the Minotaur. The Minotaur had the body of a man and the head of a bull, and ate people.
The Minotaur was the child of King Minos' wife, Pasiphae, who the gods caused to fall in love with a white bull in order to punish the King for liking the bull so much he wouldn't sacrifice it.
King Minos wisely imprisoned the Minotaur under his palace and later decreed fourteen of Athens' finest young people be fed to the monster every nine years.
This led to Theseus, Prince of Athens, setting out to kill the Minotaur, which is another story; I won't spoil it for you by telling you the end.
