Baphitaurs are a planetouched race created by Baphomet, who oversaw unholy breeding experiments between humans and minotaurs, both with each other and with the bovine demons known as ghour and goristros. The result was a race of distinctly bovine-featured tieflings, one intimately associated with the Demon Prince of Beasts.
In terms of appearance, these tall, broad humanoids are comparable in size and build to the mightiest of orc warriors. Their faces resemble their minotaur relatives; bovine bestial muzzles with bull-like ears, short but sharp horns, and shaggy manes of hair. They sport human-like feet with claws instead of bovine hooves, and have long, almost rat-like tails.
Baphitaurs appear in the 3.5 "Underdark" sourcebook for the Forgotten Realms setting.

Baphitaurs vs. Tieflings[edit]
Statwise, you might be wondering if baphitaurs are worth taking over their tiefling cousins? Well, let's take a look... in comparison to the Baphitaur's stats above, tieflings get:
