Minotaur Species in Nilam | World Anvil

Minotaur

Minotaurs are barrel-chested humanoids with heads resembling those of bulls. Their horns range in size from about 1 foot long to great, curling weapons easily three times that length. They often ornament their horns with metal rings or sheathe them in metal to protect them from damage.    Manes of shaggy fur extend down minotaurs’ necks and powerful backs, and males have long tufts of hair on their chins and cheeks. Their legs end in heavy, cloven hooves. Minotaurs are born with long, tufted tails.    Minotaurs tend to vent their outrage through violence, but they aren’t generally quick to anger. They are passionate, loving their friends and partners fiercely, and they laugh loud and long at good jokes.    Minotaurs mostly dwell in Wurinzama amongst the Zaman Oreets with the Centaurs. While the Centaurs often act as the speed and wisdom of an Oreet, the Minotaurs are the strength and hardheadedness. Also due to their longer lived nature compared to the Human like Centaurs, Minotaurs often wind up as respected elders and advisors in a Zaman Oreet.
