{{Monstergirls}}
Alongside [[centaurs]] (their fellow Greeks), minotaurs share the dubious honor of being a race that is alternatively embraced and shunned by fans of both [[monstergirls]] and [[furry]] - though their native form leans much closer to the furry side, monstergirl minotaurs are basically [[musclegirl]]s with huge tits and at least one of several potential minor bovine features - long horns are near-universal, but they may also possess any or all of cow-like ears, a cow-like tail, digitigrade legs, hooves instead of feet, or unusual breasts/nipples (multiple boobs, oversized/multiple nipples, etc). You know, around the 10% mark on the furry meter, a bovine analogue to [[faun]]s. As for why minotaur monstergirls are so common, it's probably because of the connotation between "cow monstergirl" and "fucking huge tits" oppai Oppai OPPAI.

In fact, the presence of Minotaurs in the monstergirl fandom is a little contentious; "[[cowgirl]]s", bovine-featured girls who tend to be hugely busty, often pleasingly curvy or soft in build, and very shy and gentle, are about as prolific in the MG fandom as the [[catgirl]], and considered similarly "entry tier". Many argue that a cowgirl isn't a "real" minotaur MG unless she's also an [[amazon]], or at least a [[musclegirl]], and even then there's arguments about whether she has to have a brazen and forceful personality, matching the traditional violent/warlike depiction of the minotaur-as-monster, or if she can still be (at least in the right circumstances) as sweet and gentle as ordinary cowgirls. So in short, the difference between a cowgirl and a minotaur girl is the same as the difference between a domestic farm cow and an undomesticated aurox.

This divide is referenced in [[Life With Monstergirls]]: whilst their Minotaur "Liminal Race" is supposedly divided into the aggressive "Bullfighting" Minotaur and the more gentle and docile "Milking" Minotaur, the sample minotaur character Cathyl is a Milking type with an extremely aggressive nature who is quick to revert to violence. All minotaur females look like horned women with digitigrade, furry, cow-hooved legs, furry elf-like ears, and a cow's tail. Milking Types have huge tits which steadily swell bigger as they produce the day's milk, growing to painfully swollen and tender proportions far larger than a human head - Cathyl's breasts are bigger than even those of Tio, the [[ogre]] monstergirl who had previously been the must buxom member of the cast. Minotaur men are bull-headed muscular brutes with cow tails and legs, in a standard Japanese "men are more bestial than women" art style. It's unclear if both types of minotaur women are [[musclegirl]]s; Cathyl is a Milking type who is visibly ripped, but she's also a farm-girl who spends a lot of time doing heavy labor. Of course, the same would probably be true of the average Milking type.

The [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]] actively embraces the minotaur/cowgirl divide by making them into two separate species; the ox/bull-based minotaur, and the cow-based holstaur. Minotaurs tend to be brazen, crass, forceful and violent in everything they do. If they see a potential partner they like they won't think twice about forcing themselves onto them. Extremely lazy by nature, they are hedonists who are driven by their emotions and live to eat, sleep and have sex. When not doing any of those things, they are usually working off some pent-up fury, which is one of the reasons why they are so ripped. The other reason is probably their love of rough sex, making every one of their constant bouts of lovemaking into a real workout.

Minotaur mamono are notorious for their peculiar trait of flying into a lustful frenzy if exposed to the color red.

Some translations of the name call them the Minotaurus race instead.

For details on their more "dainty" cousins, the Holstaur and the Hakutaku, see the [[Cowgirl]] page.
