It was never clear precisely what Mantaur was supposed to be (mythical creature? fat dude with a prominent spirit animal?) but we all understood the look they were going for. 

He's part man, part… bison thing… and you'd like him to conserve some of those bovine features once he takes off that… bison thing he wears to the ring. We get it.

So the idea was to draw black horns curving around his bald head… only nobody caught National Geographic that particular week, and nobody stopped to wonder what animal on Earth has horns growing out of its eye sockets.

Anatomical illustration? Eye-masking war paint? Either way, neither added to his drab, matte appearance or legitimized his aggressive in-ring mooing.
