It's called a Minotaur. It's a legendary but powerful creature of Greek mythology: part-man, part bull. And believe me, Minotaur are not easy to kill.
Rayne, about Minotaur

Minotaurs (Greek: ὁ Μῑνώταυρος), sometimes called Bullmen by hunters, are powerful, monstrous creatures that have the head and tail of a bull and a huge muscular humanoid body of a man. They are one of the most famous monsters in Greek mythology.

Characteristics[]

As mention above, Minotaur are half-man and half-bull hybrid creatures. They are remarkably strong, incredibly fast, and hard-headed. Minotaur can vary from appearance and size. Some can be as a little bigger as a muscular man and look almost human, others can be much bigger than humans and look more bull-like, and few can look almost like an actual bull. Minotaur also happen to be minions of the Greek God Hades, the Lord of the Underworld.

Additionally, Minotaur are solitary creatures, quite used to being on their own. They only get together on certain occasions.

Powers and Abilities[]

Because of their large size, Minotaur are incredibly powerful creatures.

  • Super Strength: Due to their gigantic muscular proportions, Minotaur are immensely strong creatures, able to lift vehicles over their heads and throw them across an entire field. Even smaller, more human-sized Minotaur also have a degree of superhuman strength and stamina, enough to ram at their enemies again and again without stopping.
  • Super Speed: Being giant bull-like creatures, Minotaur are rather fast for their size, able to run on all fours and attack with the element of surprise.
    • Super Agility: Despite their large size, Minotaur are very agile; able to move quicker and jump higher than humans.
  • Super Durability: A Minotaur's hide is very durable, allowing them to withstand almost any amount of pain.
  • Super Stamina: Minotaur can run at fast speeds for hours and almost never tire.
  • Giant Horns: Minotaur have a pair of giant horns of their head that they can use to ram and bash into anything, even their own kind.
  • Telepathy: Minotaur have demonstrated a limited level of Telepathy, demonstrated when one influenced on his victims for them to see images of their loved ones inside the labyrinth. They can also mimic the voices of other people, by somehow reading their victims thoughts.

Weaknesses[]

Despite their superhuman nature, Minotaurs not invulnerable. Being a monster, and therefore without a soul (despite being half-human), the Minotaur cannot be truly physically destroyed.

However, they can be killed with their own horn, especially when stabbed in the chest, side, or neck region. Additionally, other powerful weapons like Death's Scythe and Angel Blades, can kill a Minotaur.

Once a Minotaur is killed, their bodies burst into flames.

Trivia[]

  • The sound effects of the Minotaur are that of bear, bull, elephant, horse, walrus, and camel.
