They appear in many different myths and stories from around the world, and each culture has their own unique take on this fearsome creature. In some tales, the Minotaur is a raging beast that must be slain in order to save an innocent victim. In others, the Minotaur is a tragic figure, misunderstood and alone in the world. Regardless of how they are portrayed, the Minotaur is always a formidable adversary.
The appearance of the Minotaur varies depending on the story, but they are usually described as being large and muscular, with horns protruding from their forehead.
