This is Asterion, the cursed son of Minos
An hybrid between a Mythos and a mortal, was born as a punishment for his father's disobedience to the god Poseidon
Knowing nothing but pain and the scorn of his father, was trapped underground until Lucien freed him

Been wanting to add the Minotaur to my Mythos series for years and I always struggled to come up with a concept that allowed him to stand out from other bull anthros in his same universe other than being larger than average

We decided to add some sea-related elements to his design like shells and nacre/pearls

His face had to be very monstruous to convey the feeling he is a curse on Minos, but we also needed to make him relatable and able to show emotions
I think him having a more "human-like" side to his face also helps convey he is an hybrid
