A minotaur who suffers the curse of undeath is bound to their place of rest, just as their living brethren are bound to their labyrinths. The crypt stalker endlessly stalks the corridors of mausoleums and rows of headstones, its hatred for its cursed state surpassed only by its malice for the living. |
