This costume was made up as I went along. I wanted to make something with large horns and fangs but the idea for the armor came from a friend who does leather work. The armor is all handmade by me ( with my friend's guidance) and the horns are real ram horns that contain a thick wire bolted to the skull of the mask. The hair is real horsehair that I glued on lock by lock. The head isn't exactly light but it's not as bad as it looks though I do have to take a head break every half hour or so. The legs are foamed to have a digitigrade appearance while letting my legs remain in a normal postion. The hooves are actually hoochie platform wedge heels which are of course very uncomfortable...but they work well so it's worth it. I used wire, foam and paper mache coated with plastic for the hooves. I'm very proud of this as it is my first full sized costume.
