Minotaur, Plains

Svimohz seulement
The plains minotaur of southern Ul-Karg is a fierce and savage warrior, preferring to live on the open lands rather than secreted away in an underground labyrinth. A plains minotaur stands approximately 8 feet tall and weighs around 600 pounds. It has powerful arms and short sleek black fur that covers its entire body except for its hooves, palms and fingers. The skin exposed is equally black, and its nails are short.
This creature lives to be about 120 years old, gaining maturity after the first fifteen. An individual's age can be determined by horn color – white or ivory for the young, black for mature adults and gray for elders. Only males have horns.
Although they have a small presence in Kargi society, the plains minotaurs established themselves as powerful allies, useful in war, and valued for their tremendous strength and canniness. Brutal and heartless, they are terrors on the battlefield, striking fear into the hearts of many foes, and only through the promise of flesh, treasure and a vaunted position in the expanded Kargi nation, do the plains minotaurs fight on behalf of the hobgoblins.
On rare occasions, a plains minotaur breaks from their kind, to make a life elsewhere in the world. The PC plains minotaur usually worships chaotic neutral gods, such as the Battle Rager.
