Minotaur
Although many legendary minotaurs have gone down in history as being evil monsters that slaughter any who enter their labyrinths, they aren't always bad. A smaller, more intelligent band of minotaurs have gone to live a more peaceful life trying to settle with fey and mortals alike. However, they always seem to run into the reputation that their more brutal cousins have created. Some minotaurs have learned to use this to their advantage by becoming the muscle to mercenary parties or guards to VIP.
Minotaurs are very diverse in physical qualities. They somtimes bear very large bull horns or none at all. Sometimes their features are more human in nature, other times it's like a bull simply learned to walk upright. Their hair colors tend to stay in different shades of brown or grey. Minotaurs typically like to wear different forms of chains or jewelry around their necks or in their horns. It comes from a more primal desire to collect beautiful treasures.
This race of minotaur tends to be on a more advanced and kind level then the evil beasts they branched off from, so they commonly range from a lawful good to a true neutral. Bloodlust, however, can be a curse that spikes among individuals of these communities, so evil aligned minotaurs have been found working for the deadliest of criminals around. The way they spend their lives is all determined by whether or not society has accepted them. If people are blind to the minotaur's true nature and discriminate against them, the minotaurs tend to show them what they have been suppressing. When that happens, avoid those horns at all costs.
