The Minotaur is a monstrous double, sometimes with the head of a bull and the body of a man or, conversely, with the body of a bull and the head of a human. The name means "bull of Minos."

Being neither fully human, animal, or god, the ambiguity of the figure of the Minotaur placed it outside the conventional bounds of norms of morals and reason.

As noted above Minotaurs stand quite large at over eight feet (including the horns), all of them are covered in short, shaggy fur. The color of the fur is variable ranging from a light brown to jet-black and even albino minotaurs are not unheard of (but very rare). The thickness of the fur depends on the environments temperature, so in winter the fur will become thicker, while in summer a minotaur will shed some of his hair.

There are different tribes of minotaurs which each have a more or less obvious feature which the others have not, e.g. one tribe may have very strong facial and head hair, like a lions mane, others may have a certain eye color which distinguishes them from other minotaurs.

Minotaur legs are similar to horse legs (only much thicker) and end in hooves which makes climbing very difficult for them, hence they receive a two step penalty on any tests involving climbing. The horns of a minotaur range anywhere from a few inches for female minotaurs up to two feet for ancient male bulls, the form and color of the horns is variable ranging from curved to straight and from white-grey to black.

Habitat: Minotaurs can theoretically live anywhere, but prefer cold climates over warm ones, since their fur makes living under warm temperatures very strenuous for them. They usually live near the polar circle, and sustain themselves by hunting game and selling furs. Minotaurs never reached any extent knowledge about agriculture to grow anything else than the most resilient plants.
