. snout odd greenidh tint
2)
.mat of a large leopard? with four frount legs. colour unknown
3)

1. A Gorgon perhaps?

2. Auromvorax.

3. Mind-Flayer.

I thought a gorgan was a deamon, not a bull.

My guess is the "gorgon" is really a minotaur.

They were really just guesses and a Gorgon is a 'steel-plated' bull, I don't know about it's snout though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

IIRC trophies in Hrothgar's room in Easthaven are:
-invisble stalker(blank trophy plate [img]smile.gif[/img] )
-minotaur
-mind flayer
But this comes from the proverbial hat, so I might be wrong.

I have to disagree with the idea that it is a minotaur. It is definitely a gorgon because the deadly gas that a gorgon breathes is green in nature (I've got a lovely pic in my DnD Monster Manual with a gorgon breathing out a green gas).

Either that, or the Minotaur had

a) Bad breath

OR

b) Was killed by a cloudkill or death fog spell

Nah, it's definitely a gorgon.

Cheers,
