Abyssal Minotaur

Introduction

In the dark forests, trees are ripped from the ground and the smell of dead bodies lingers in the moist night air. Your heart thumps as the ground shakes with every step this monster takes toward you after killing the bandits that tried to rob you. You watch as its back fades into the forest as if it was a dream.

Physical Description

Abyssal Minotaurs have hard hide covering their entire bodies and sharp horns on their head. Their hide can range from black to brown to white, and may even have spots. These muscle-bound humanoid creatures have tails and hooves instead of feet and a cow's head.

History

Minotaurs are rare creatures that have resided in and protected mazes for eons. Abyssal Minotaurs come from an outcast Minotaur that was exiled into the abyss and after years of living in the dark corners and being hunted by larger creatures was able to escape the abyss and formed this subrace of Minotaurs.

Society

Abyssal Minotaurs are pack creatures that live in hidden underground cities. Duels to the death are commonplace and exiled Minotaurs have their horns cut off before being sent to the surface and banned from returning. Despite the brawn of this race, they are very intelligent but very rarely are they wise making finding a spell caster among them a rarity. Abyssal Minotaurs are ruled by the strongest member of the clan which is decided through fights to the death with the only weapons allowed being their horns.
