Cat's Chimerical Creations Lore: Minty

This is Minty the Minotaur:

Minty was the first ever Scrapbag Baby, i.e. a plushie made entirely from the leftover bits of other Chimerical Creations. He's also the first one to be born on a Tuesday.

Minty was born without the use of his back legs (I suspect because I messed up restuffing his donor body before he was born).

However, according to his personal Minty Canon, he did originally have full use of all four limbs and was in fact a renowned high speed runner.

One day he bumped into a dragon while out for a sprint, and the dragon put a curse on him that rendered him paraplegic.

Minty claims that his curse can be removed if he is given one hundred shark brothers, and also if all dragons would die.

He also claims that he used to own the Bison Steve Hotel in Fallout, but that Bison Steve stole it from him after the dragon curse. For this reason, he would also like Bison Steve to die.

When he was very young, he was badly scared by an advert for Schlage locks which was far too frightening for his taste. As a result, he decided to elect himself the Spookums King, so he could control all scary things and sentence all Schlage locks to die.

In December 2020, he became a joint Spookums Co-King with his younger brother Nublet, which tempered his tyranical rule somewhat (Nublet being more focused on spooky films and rainy days as opposed to just using his platform for murder)

He was involved in a (one-sided) blood feud with Santa Claus, but as of Christmas 2024, the two have reconciled.

His prize possessions are a blu-ray edition of Boardwalk Empire (which he enjoys guarding from anyone else and curling up on to sleep, not unlike a dragon...) and his bow, which was infused with Christmas Magic on 25/12/24 and allows him to float when he does good deeds.

He once invited Phil Collins to a sleepover. Though his arrival was initially delayed due to bad weather, Phil did manage to attend. They had a very nice time, but Minty eventually got bored of poor Phil.

At one point, Minty was also very impressed by meeting various Pacific Rim kaiju though, much like with Phil Collins, he tired of them once the shine of their "fame" wore off.

(the Pacific Rim kaiju, being kaiju with no concept of fame, were unaffected by this and bemused by Minty's starstruck fawning)

Minty enjoys "doughnut parties" (which is him eating doughnuts while dancing and singing "doughnut party!" over and over again), being "everyone's favourite", telling lies, doing crime, and "woeing", which is when he sighs dramatically and throws himself about in order to get attention.

On June 9 2023, which was declared a public holiday because it was Tynwald Day Minty is so great, we celebrated his 3rd birthday:

If you would like to help Minty gain 100 shark brothers, kill all dragons, reclaim his hotel from Bison Steve, get more famous friends, tell more lies, do more crimes and other "mint-tazing" "mint-tastic" and "mint-credible" things, please consider making a donation at https://ko-fi.com/catschimericalcreations

My mini minotaur!!! During the course of making this I found out minotaur and clementine have the same amount of syllables so you can sing “oh my darling minotaur”
