The half horse half man is called a centaur. The Minotaur is half man half bull. There is also a creature that is half human half lion but I forget the spelling. I believe it is called a Lammassu?

Centaur. I assume you mean horse legs and lower body, and man upper body and head? Have no idea if the other way round is possible!

A centaur. Body of a horse and the torso of a man.
There was also Bott0m in Midsummer nights Dream who had a donkeys head, oh and the fawns who just had two legs in Narnia. (They were fawns weren't they)
