Blessed with a supernaturally strong sense of direction, minotaurs make great navigators. Some sages believe minotaurs were first created to patrol the magical planar mazes that act as prisons for petty gods. ___ Minotaurs are barrel-chested humanoids with heads resembling those of bulls. Their horns range in size from about 1 foot long to easily three times that length. Minotaurs often carve their horns to sharpen their edges, etch symbols of power into them, or sheathe them in bronze to prevent them from shattering during battle. Thick hair extends down minotaurs’ necks and powerful backs, and some have long patches of hair on their chins and cheeks. Their legs end in heavy, cloven hooves, and they have long, tufted tails. ### Minotaur Traits **Ability Score Increase.** One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another by 1, to a maximum of 20. ___ **Age.** Minotaur mature at the same rate as humans and live to be around 150. ___ **Alignment.** Minotaur live for fighting off raiders and protecting others, tending towards lawful and chaotic alignments. ___ **Creature Type.** You are a Humanoid.
