**NOTE** that these AniMesh animals ship as physically MODIFY (and COPY), but...
- - - current SL AniMesh ignores any inworld edited size change and always draws the AniMesh object at its PREDEFINED SIZE !!
• animated free roaming (non huntable) Minotaur
• *ANIMATED Mesh*: walks; sometimes looks and points; can run and jump
• you set its home (center) and its roaming range and speed
• NOTE: you can ride it (if owner sets to pet) and/or ride and steer it (if owner sets to vehicle)
This copyable animal will add atmosphere to your SIM lands, especially forest lands or medieval lands. It walks around (you specify its home and its roaming radius), sometimes stopping to look and point or to look around. Because it is COPYable, you can have one or a whole herd.
The animals are "SITable" (if the owner enables "GROUP Friend") and are "STEERable" (if the owner enables "VEHICLE Steer").
This animal uses SL's newest capability of "Animated Mesh". The Mesh provides an attractive 3D implementation while keeping prims (Land Impact) as low as practical and the new AniMesh animations provide smooth realistic movements.. The movement script is designed keep lag to a minimum, while animesh provides very low lag animation.

Please come and play with the wild animals, it gives them exercise.

Great Addition to a Halloween Maze
I placed this guy in a cornfield maze, where he seems to fit right in. The sound and those teeth and eyes make him fearsome enough to give a good Halloween scare, but he's peaceful enough that your insurance rates shouldn't go up. Am delighted with the purchase.
Tip for those who didn't notice the word "steer" in the description (which I hadn't): you can set him to let you or others ride him, but you have to use the arrow keys to steer him. When there's a passenger, he stops roaming.
Hm...now I have to start plotting a proper labyrinth for him!
