Thor, "The brain is a muscle. So is my bicep, and my abs, and my calfs, and my thieghs, and my glutes. Basically, I'm all muscle. Which means I'm also all brain." -- Also Minotaurs. :P

I read an old dragon magazine article featuring a man who was enslaved by a minotaur chief. He avoided being eaten or sacrificed because he was very good at making puzzles, and the chief loved solving them so much he kept him alive and even protected him from other minotaurs. Could be a good reason to keep a party alive if they lose a fight to minotaurs, assuming there is a high intelligence character in the group that can make puzzles or riddles.

I guess telling them that "I am not scared of the meat in my plate, why should I be scared of a herd of walking cows with an Axes?" was a quick way to learn that Sigil is a place where everything is crazy and strong. We barely escaped due to smart use of magic and the DM mercy that not one of those minotaurs was a caster. Whoops.

I already knew the setting (Planescape), but the GM gave the rest of the party a pretty straight forward example of the place by getting some planar travelers that wanted to worship her. So she just appeared and turned everyone into literal minced meat. I still remember the chain. "Without you being able to understand quite what happened, you see the cultist nearest to the Lady of Pain, turn into a meat paste with pieces of metal in it in the blink of the eye. You suddenly watch as the Lady of Pain floats over to the leader of the worshipers and one by one, they are minced into different textures of minced meat. One into almost a liquid, one left just a torso without any limbs, one appears as if their flesh was separated from their body, one left a slashed mess but with their organs orderly stacked in a pile. And the strangest thing? Even when attempting to *see* what the Lady of Pain is doing, all you can see is the before and after. You never saw any part of herself, except of her head move an inch. Until she reached the leader, to him she lifted her hand and the man just vanished." "Can I roll perception to see if I can see what she did?" "Sure" "Rolls dice. 27. Yessss" "You see nothing, the most you see is a glimpse of some bodyparts flying before reaching the ground in different states of being chopped". That showed us quite quickly what NOT to do in Sigil.

The fact that they're apt at traversing mazes is pretty ironic, considering that in the Greek mythology the labyrinth was created with the scope of imprisoning the minotaur. Edit: I got someone confused. The point of my comment is the fact that, according to the Greek mythology, a minotaur should be the exact opposite of “apt at traversing mazes”, since he was imprisoned in one. It’s kinda like putting vampires in your fantasy setting and state that they like garlic and sunbathing.

The way they were written in the offshoot Dragonlance series was well reasoned and developed. Also, having one being essential to the development and story of Huma made them so much more. Compared to what is described in 5th edition they could be very smart, charismatic, and wise. Almost any class was a possibility.

Minotaurs in the game »Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer« are depicted a bit different: Noble and civilized, you can in fact recruit them into your party or play one yourself. They also have a city in that game you can visit. The Minotaur acts like the Paladin class, that can use low level spirit magic but uses axes instead of mace and can't use shields like Paladin can.

Together they enslaved a goblin horde, now raiding the lands of the Swordcost and the High Forest. The village of my playercharacters was one of the first, to fall to the horde. Right now i am planning the plot for my PCs to find out about the ruby, the curse, the warlock. If they are clever enough, they might break the command-curse and get the minotaur as an ally against the true evil warlock.

When I first played a minotaur in session zero, grija was during his first few years of life a sailers pet. He was treated well among his companions as he was tasked with both being the captains personal navigator and anchorman to aide his strength. The captain taught the young bull the old runes to also assist them should troubles from the mainlands come in ill tidings, though grija rarely spoke he knew enough to aide these men. Sadly for young Grija, his days with the crew came to end when a navy fleet confiscated recent plunders stolen by nobles were found in a nasty set up, and worse still they executed these pour men in front of grija that for the first time, he felt fear and panicked across, so much so that he in blind rage dashed for the anchor to slaughter, everyone.... including his beloved captain. By the time his fury subsided all were but mesh across the deck, and the captain lost his lower half. " my boy... fret not to death, it comes and goes. Its how you choose to spend said life is the coarse.. Take the wheel now grija... steer your way. " sailing alone for a month, he in his way in secret made landfall on the mainland shores and set ablaze the captains ship and crew back the sea, keeping the chain and anchor as both his personal weapon and his beloved keepsake. And all this happened before he founded himself enslaved to a powerful warlock as well his personal wagon puller. Had alot of fun with grija, though he has yet to fight a demon to obtain its blood, it was just really fun exploring his calm stoicism before his rage.

They came from their own continent on the other side of Krynn, Taladas, they were LAWFUL evil instead of Chaotic, had a VAST honor-bound society, they didn't have normal "hoof" feet but separated toes, and they came originally from OGRES instead of Humans. www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17376/DLR2-Taladas-The-Minotaurs-2e

Hello there! Fantastic video, thank you!

5:50 I assume that Wishing to break a minotaur curse woudn't work on a born minotaur, but I think you could theoretically True Polymorph a born minotaur into a human, since that spell can permanently transform a creature into different creature.

That is basically what he said, yes. That said, that would be the same as the curse that made the original minotaurs in that it could still be reversed, just not on a timer.

Thanks For Doing Minotaurs...They Are My Fav.

Maybe a video series on the big locations in the lore. Like waterdeep, baldur's gate, and so on.

This was awesome.

Minotaurs are my favorite monster in D&D. Theres just something utterly fear inducing about them if the dm plays them as cunningly as he should. There was one third party book that came out thx to the OGL that put a neat spin on them though, it was Maze of the Minotaur: Masters and Minions series. Made them more of a naturally occurring creature in the world like gnolls or goblins and less of an abomination brought by demonic rites. Gave them an ecology and a bit of a tribal culture. A good read. Pretty cheap to aquire too. Great video btw keep it up. I watch all that come out.

While I know you don't look at other settings very often for these... I do recall their being an entire Minotaur nation in Dragonlance... It may be the only one in all the D&D worlds I know of & as I recall they actually had clerics at least and used magic weapons. They seemed a bit smarter on average than the traditional Minotaur and were sailors ala Vikings in many cases.

You're right. Someone else in the comments was talking about it

I love this series. Do knolls next! And every demon underling!

I think it would be interesting to make intelligence based Minotaurs since they enjoy puzzles so much. They could become the greatest minds the world has ever seen. And if females are somewhat looked down upon, I think it would be a great hook for a gal to break from her clan. Then they could become rangers, wizards, or monks. Find their own paths.

YES. Awesomeness. :D Ive always wanted to play a minotaur monk/druid. Haha. XD

Many a man would piss themself if they found this in the crib. I wouldn't even put a collar on the minotaur. Pappa is gonna be proud with this one. Anyways yeah get your arrows ready.

You should make a video about yourself, like a Q&A or Draw my Life, called What They Don't Tell You About Mr.Rhexx.

Thanks my man

Now learning about minotaurs now thanks to you i can technically still make a female Minotaur thats been cursed in a similar situation like Male minotaurs. Thank you so much your video has been really informative

One of the first long running games i was in had a minotaur in the party. His name was beefcake, he was our barbarian but ironically he was the voice of reason in our group along with my firbolg ranger. They were like the tired dads who constantly had to wrangle in their hyperactive kids.

Anyone else see the parallels between them and humans? At first I thought it was funny. But, when he ended with the puzzles... Chills.
