The Quinotaur, sometimes, incorrectly, and confusingly called the bull shark, is a legendary sea monster that has the forequarters of a giant bull, with five horns crowning its head, and the rear body and fins of a shark.
Dwelling in the deep, remote parts of the ocean, surfacing only when disturbed or when grazing on floating sea grasses the quinotaur can breathe underwater as easily as it can breathe air, this rare and legendary beast, is more often spoken of in myths and legends than seen by mortal eyes. Sages assume there are cow counterparts to the quinotaur, but none have ever been reported.
