Minotaurs are typically found only in labyrinthine places in the wilderness or underground. They are cruel, man-eaters, and although not particularly intelligent, they are cunning and have excellent senses.
Minotaurs are large, well over 7 feet tall, and quite broad and muscular. They have the head of a bull but the body of a human male. Their fur is brown to black while their body coloring varies as would a normal human's. Clothing is minimal, usually a loin cloth or skirt.
Weapons. In combat, the minotaur can butt an opponent of 6 ft. or more in height, or bite a shorter one. The creature also uses some form of weapon—usually a huge axe (treat as a halberd) or a flail.
Lair. A minotaur's labyrinth is rarely natural. Often an evil wizard or a tyrant will construct a labyrinth and place the minotaur family there, feeding it prisoners and slaves on a regular basis.
The curse which creates minotaurs is unknown, but sages suspect it involves "crimes against the natural order." Minotaurs are always male. Minotaurs breed with human females to produce offspring, which are male minotaurs. Minotaurs have a lifespan of 200 years. They can live without food for years at a time, but are always hungry unless they are fed regularly. They are meat-eaters, but their curse causes them to prefer a diet of human flesh.
