Contrary to Greek Mythology the Minotaur isnt half Human/half Bull. Instead the beast is a large demon. While the creature does have cloven feet, hind legs, covered in hair and has large horns like a bull. Its also walks on its hind legs. And it has arms, hands and a chest much more like a large Human. Each of its fingers are tipped with sharp claws, and it mouth has sharp pointed teeth. The Minotaur is carnivorous, and known to feed on humans, although sometimes other large animals may also be on the menu. Also Minotaurs rarely use weapons such as swords, or axes. Usually Minotaurs stick to areas that arent highly populated by humans. Since most man-made tunnels usually are tall enough to from them. They are most often found in areas with lots of natural caves, or even mountainous areas. There are actually two sexes to the Minotaur the males are very large, (about 9-10 ft tall, and weigh about 1,200-1,500 lbs), while the females are smaller (usually only about 7-8 ft tall, weigh about 500-800 lbs). Minotaurs never mate with any species other than their own kind. But a Bull Minotaur will often kill a human or other large animal and offer it as a present to attempt to win a Female Minotaur. After mating the Bull will leave and search for other females or food. Leaving the Female to raise and care for her offspring. The stats above are for a typical Bull Minotaur. A typical Female Minotaur will have stats are almost the same as the Bulls except she usually has about an 8 Strength, instead of the Bulls 10.

According to Greek Mythology, the Gorgons were three beautiful sisters that angered Athena. Athena therefore turned the 3 sisters in half human/half serpent monsters, that were capable of turning any mortal being into stone, with a single direct gaze.
In the BtVS/Angel verse Gorgons are a species of female demons. While in their demon form they do have snakes for hair. But its not their direct gaze that can turn men to stone, but the venomous bite from the snakes. However the venom appears to only work on mortal men. Gorgons actually have a duel form the demon form and a very attractive human form. Gorgons are often attracted to male humans to mate with, and to help create stone statues. Gorgons will often work together in groups of two or 3 sisters. While they are similar in some ways to Succubi, in that they use their attractiveness to seduce men. Gorgons also differ in many key ways Gorgons nearly always kill their suitors, And dont actually feed directly off sexual energy, but instead they actually feed of the living energy of men, and very likely the male hormone Testosterone. They use sex as means to feed and breed.
Gorgons are generally slightly stronger than most normal female. But they are also known to be very cunning, & resourceful warriors from ages past. The normal Gorgon has the follow attribute & quality bonuses over a normal female human. The Attribute bonuses are +1 Strength, + 2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, + 1 Perception, +1 Willpower. The quality bonuses are increased LP 1 level, Regeneration 1 level, Resistance venom 3 levels, Acute Sense: smell, Basic Supernatural Sense, Emotional Influence, Reduced Damage LBT & Falls, Attractiveness +3, 3 levels of Hard to Kill & Fast Reaction Time. Also normal Gorgons get a bonus +1 on 2 combat related skills, of Acrobatics, Kung Fu, or Getting Medieval. An experienced Gorgon will likely have an additional + 1 in the all the attributes listed, plus the 5pts version of Emotional Influence, 2 addition levels Hard to Kill, 2 additional levels of Venom Resistance, 1 more level of Increased LP, and +2 in 2 Combat Skills. And a Very Experienced Gorgon will likely have an additional +2 in all attributes above the standard Gorgon, plus 2 more levels of HtK, 2 more Levels of Emotional Influence, another level of Increased LP, and + 2 in 2 combat skills.
The Gorgons Supernatural attack is actually the means by how it feeds. While the Gorgon is demon mode, uses the serpent hair to strike the man, multiple times, and feed directly off his life energy. The effect causes him to calcify, turning him into a marble or stone-like statue. Gorgons are known for their love of showing off their work. Still this can sometimes have the effect of attracting the attentions of slayers & demon hunters. So often times, gorgons will attempt to keep a lower profile. The only known ways to kill a gorgon is to either cut off her head or Drive a sharp object thru her heart.
Note: this version is Based of the Gorgons from the series "Special Unit 2".
