	A '''minotaur''' is a half-[[human\|man]], half-bull, taking the form of a humanoid figure - originally purely human, but adding any combination of fur, a tail and digitigrade hooved legs became popular somewhere around the 80s - with a bull's head. Though at least one artist drew the minotaur as a messed up centaur, with a human head on a hulking bull.		A '''minotaur''' is a half-[[human\|man]], half-bull, taking the form of a humanoid figure - originally purely human, but adding any combination of fur, a tail and digitigrade hooved legs became popular somewhere around the 80s - with a bull's head. Though at least one artist drew the minotaur as a messed up centaur, with a human head on a hulking bull.

	This creature originates in ~~Greek~~ [[~~mythology~~]], much like its fellow [[Medusa]]. Also like Medusa, "the Minotaur" was the name/title of a unique individual abomination rather than a species. ''Still'' also like Medusa, its origin story is pretty weird and ~~f****d~~ up, even by the standards of Greek mythology. The original minotaur, whose title means "the ~~bull~~ of Minos" and whose true name was actually Asterion or Asterius, was born to one Queen Pasiphae. Minos was supposed to sacrifice a white bull to the god Poseidon, but he refused because he took a liking to the majestic creature. As punishment, Poseidon had his wife Pasiphae take a bigger liking, and by "bigger liking" we mean to the point of having a giant hollow bull statue constructed so [[/d/\|she could consummate her liking for the bull in private]]. After the minotaur was born, Minos was understandably livid that his wife cheated on him with an animal, but killing the bastard wasn't on the list (probably for good reason), so the hybrid was kept in a labyrinth so that ordinary people wouldn't have to look at it.

	This might seem like a pretty raw deal for the minotaur, but on the other hand the Cretans forced the Athenians to send virgins for the monster's meals, because apparently omnivore + herbivore = obligate carnivore: once every seven years (or just every year, depending on the source) seven of the bravest youths and seven of the fairest maidens would be the minotaur's munchies. This would mean that either the Minotaur would be able to survive off of one teenager for six months and the rest would keep wandering around for up to six and a half years (aside from the question of how ''they'' didn't starve to death), or else be he ate them all in one sitting and digest them over the course of several years like the [[Star Wars\|Sarlacc Pit Monster]]. When it was time for the third serving of Soylent Happy Meals, a bloke named Theseus came along and objected to this man-eating. He took the place of one of the youths (meaning that he must've been one hell of a bishie), sailed to Crete (where he fell in love with a local princess, but that's a tale for another time) and set up a rope that he could follow back. He found the center of the maze by constantly going straight ahead and never going left or right, and encountered the sleeping minotaur before it woke and the inevitable fight ensued. Depending on the source he either stabbed it in the throat or [[Awesome\|strangled it with his bare hands]], after which he walked out unmolested by the Cretans, who didn't stop him because they were too busy scratching their heads wondering why they didn't try that before and making the modern portrayals of minotaurs being especially strong and tough seem unfounded given the OG version literally just got killed by a kinda regular guy who was only basically armed (or not even armed).

	As a result of this story, minotaurs are associated with labyrinths and mazes of all kinds. In [[AD&D]] minotaurs are immune to the Maze spell, which is odd given that the labyrinth was intended to keep the original thing in to begin with. In [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] they enjoy puzzles and feel at home in twisting, turning passages. Whenever minotaurs build towns or cities, the roads are always arranged in the most confusing way possible. To the locals, this makes perfect sense. To adventurers, it's a fucking pain. To [[GM]]s, it's an easy way to take up an hour or two of the party's time after they breeze through your perfectly designed challenge in 5 minutes and you have nothing left this session.

	Finally, the "Official Minotaur" debuted in the ''Guildmaster's Guide to [[Ravnica]]'' in November 2018; this is the exact same stats as the UA "Standard Minotaur" but dropping Hybrid Nature and trading Menacing for Imposing Presence (free proficiency in either Intimidation or Persuasion). ''~~Mordekainen~~'s Monsters of the Multiverse'' would generally reuse this statline, replacing the stat boosts to the generic ones given by recent books and replacing Imposing Presence with a new Labyrinthine Recall (always knows which way is north and advantage on Survival checks to track or navigate).
