Retitled bug. Here are descriptions of the monsters:

Asterion

Once a king infamous for waging bloodthirsty campaigns, Asterion was
transformed into a horrible minotaur by the curse of a clever wizard-for-hire.
Shunned and exiled from his land, he now wanders the dungeon clothed in
tattered finery, hoping to establish a new kindgom in its depths by any means
necessary.

These aspirations are appreciated by Makhleb, who has granted the minotaur
destructive magic and the aid of demonic weaponry.

---

Natasha

A cute little cat. But wait! there's an intelligence behind those eyes, and a
sorrow that speaks to a lost loved one. Perhaps she was a familiar to a
powerful mage who entered the Dungeon to seek the Orb, and is trying to find
her master?

There's a bunch of tile suggestions for minotaurs on mantis. Maybe use one of them?

For example: https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=4032 [^] or https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=6094 [^]

Those existing tiles remind me more of a wrestler and a bodyguard/knight, respectively. Maybe something with more purple ("tattered finery"), a sceptre/crown/etc. (possibly dented), and possibly some sign of being a Makhleb worshipper.

(Consider those only suggestions, not requirements)

There's another minotaur enemy tile in 0007490 if people are looking for a base.

I just pushed an Asterion tile. Natasha is still a ?-shaped kitty.

Three versions of Natasha using one of the many, many Felid player tiles that exist in the game. I incorporated some of Boris' visual style into her tile, thus there's an orb, a hat, and an orb plus hat version.

I personally prefer the orb-only one, if it goes for anything.

Well, felids can't wear hats anyway. :)

I landed the ball-only Natasha tile, so I think we are done with this particular issue.
