Minotaurs are massive bull-headed monsters. They can be over twice the height of a man and are far greater in bulk. Their gigantic heads are broad and ugly, and their horns are sharp and dangerous. Many have the cloven-hoofed hindquarters of a beast and other deformities of the body that the touch of Chaos brings. They are less intelligent than Men or even Beastmen, but are unnaturally strong and powerful.
Though normally ponderous and slow-witted, battle turns Minotaurs into raging bulls and the scent of blood drives them to violent excess. In the midst of combat they tear their enemies apart and swallow down great chunks of bloody flesh, quenching their thirst with the blood of the dying whilst the battle rages on around them.
