The monster introduced here is similar to an ogre, and it is also a monster that feeds on human flesh-the minotaur.

The image of a bull's head has appeared in the myths of all ethnic groups. After all, the cow is one of the earliest totems of human beings, representing strength and abundance. In Homer's two epics, an adjective is often used to describe the gods and demigods on the battlefield, that is, "bull's eye", which is equivalent to "surpassing mortals" in some cases. However, minotaurs are not suitable for such praise. On the contrary, they are cursed evil creatures.

Minotaur is a compound word, which consists of Minos representing Minoan culture and Taurus representing bull. It literally means "Bull of Minos". Anyone who has read Greek mythology knows the origin of this word: King Minos had a freak son with a bull's head and ate seven boys and girls every year until the hero theseus entered the maze and killed him. Let's not talk about the doubts in this story (for example, the minotaur only eats once a year, and the minotaur can walk freely in the maze but never escape). Let's look at the creature itself first.

Minotaurs are not natural creatures. They are usually cursed and become minotaurs. No one knows what kind of curse created a creature like the tauren, but scholars suspect that it must be related to crimes against the laws of nature. The minotaur in Greek mythology is the child of Queen Minos and a bull. According to Dungeons and Dragons, the legendary first minotaur was a great but crazy human warrior. He longed for more power, and this wish was realized in a strange way. Minotaurs are all males, and they get the next generation by invading human females. People who are turned into minotaurs can restore their human form through magic, while people who are born into minotaurs cannot become human.

They live in the maze of temperate zone and subtropical zone, and belong to a rare nocturnal creature that only eats human flesh. Minotaurs are huge and powerful, at least seven feet high, which is 2. 13 meters. They have night vision and can track their prey through their sense of smell. Its coat color ranges from brown to black. Clothes, usually only a piece of cloth around the waist. Minotaurs are cunning and sensitive, with a life span of 200 years. Even if they don't eat for a whole year, they can still live, but they often go hungry because of irregular diet. They are carnivores, and the curse that falls on them makes them eat only human flesh. In the third edition of Dungeons and Dragons illustrated by monsters, minotaurs have become creatures suitable for living in any underground territory, and the intricate underground tunnels have become a maze for them to "play".

Minotaurs have their own language (DND third edition changed to giant language), but they have no civilization, because they live more like animals than intelligent creatures like humans. The causes of minotaurs are unnatural, so the number of minotaurs is not much, and there will not be more than eight living in a community. There is usually a parent who takes care of young children in the maze while others are hunting. The maze of minotaurs' lives is rarely formed naturally. Usually, an evil mage or tyrant built a maze, let the tauren live in it and feed them prisoners or slaves. Minotaurs have a strong sense of territory and will kill any intruder without fear. Only in the face of opponents whose strength is obviously much higher than their own, will they be afraid. Most minotaurs are equipped with huge axes or flails. When fighting, minotaurs often bow their heads and collide with their opponents first, while weaker opponents are unable to fight again after the first round of collision. They admire strength, so strong fighters can be respected by the tauren. Jackals are creatures that minotaurs hate. When they see them, the minotaur will kill them at once. Because of their strong sense of keeping nests, the dark elves used minotaurs as slaves to guard important places in forgotten countries. The Banry family in Menzoberranzan used 25 minotaurs to guard their apartment. In Starless Night, Jalaso was questioned by the Minotaur when he entered Ben Rui's house.
