Translated from Latin as “bull with five horns”, information on the Quinotaur is scarce, with only one story known from survivors of the Trojan War who fled to Rhine where their descendants would be known as the Franks. This beast of the sea god Neptune was said to have fathered a line of kings whose descendants survived the fall of Rome. It happened when the wife of King Chlodio went swimming one day only to encounter the Quinotaur who mated with her. This resulted in a pregnancy and she gave birth Merovech, a mortal man who was not born with any kind of monstrous defects but instead founded the Merovingians.
