A Minotaur is a half-human, half-bull hybrid born of Queen Pasiphae of Crete. King Minos imprisoned the Minotaur in the Labyrinth, where he became ensnared in the myth of Theseus and Andromeda. This Minotaur is fearsome, wearing an armored kidney belt, a traditional nose ring, and wielding a deadly club mace.
