Hmmm i wonder if the descripton of the goddes from the devblog had changed uppon arival of that beast. So the poeple believe in the form of the monster while the old skeletal picture remained.
The way it works is as follows:
As long as the Megabeast shares spheres with the god in question, impersonation is possible. The people don't necessarily believe that the demon is the diety's true form, but rather, its earthly body. Just as Zeus' true form was never believed to be a bull, but he turned into one nonetheless to mate with mortals.

corrected
I was at first going to mention when he turned into a golden shower, but decided against it since that was an isolated incident.

As far as I know, he never mated with mortals while being a bull, but there could be some such story I don't know of.

An eagle is also a common disguise Zeus uses. Mainly for grabbing women rather than mating in that form.

So what I've gathered so far, is that, Zeus is a womanizing shape-shifter?

Quote from: wikipedia
To punish Minos, Poseidon caused Pasiphaë, Minos' wife, to fall madly in love with the bull from the sea, the Cretan Bull.[6]  She had Daedalus, the famous architect, make a wooden cow for her. Pasiphaë climbed into the decoy in order to copulate with the white bull. The offspring of their coupling was a monster called the Minotaur.

maybe he didn't, but there's at least a precedent in greek mithology

I'm pretty sure he did bang one girl as a bull.

I know he banged one while manifesting as "A Golden Shower"...

Kinky.

EDIT: This actually raises a question:

Will we see odd "partnerships" beyond the concept of non-hetrosexuality? Different species interacting? I know that ThreeToe did a story that had this as one of the main points - Goblin and Elf, if I do remember.

or even gods(true or false) that mate with mortals, fathering potential semi-divine heroes

Demons impersonating gods mating with mortals is more likely, and I would argue even more filled with Win.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

or even monsters anywhere between semi-megabeasts to super-megabeasts like the most horrible and powerful titans/forgotten beasts that the RNG can spit out.

I hope that we can simply add a caste for half-elfs and stuff... but how to code them to be born at all?

As recently occurred in a rather crappy movie. Based on a children's book.
