Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

  1. Minotaurs are Bovine Monsters.  Their bull's head usually corresponds to that of the local cattle; i.e Bison in the area of the Grasslands, Buffalo in the area of the Jungle or Aurochs in the area of the Icelands.
  2. Ferocious, strong-willed man-eaters, which will usually attack on sight and fight to the death.
  3. A few Minotaurs (ML/2%, FRU) Regenerate @ 0.33HP/sec (1HP every 3rd sec), starting 10 sec after first take Damage.  Only Fire, Acid or Disintegration will prevent Regeneration.  The body Regenerates from the largest surviving piece.
  4. Cattle Cultist Druids get Shapechange to Minotaur as a Power @ DrL 5.  This does not include Regeneration.
