The minotaur is a half-human, half-bovine.
Minotaurs tend to be strong and durable. They specialize in charging to the front, and dealing with whatever they find there. They also have a reputation for being stubborn, quick to anger, and territorial, none of which is necessarily true. While it's true that their nature is to charge in when it's time to fight, it doesn't mean that they go looking for trouble. One need only read
Heart of the Mountains by Minotaur poet Drijag Penn to know the depth of the Minotaur soul.

Class Considerations
Their strength and durability, and the feats that let them use their horns for a quick entry to battle makes them obvious martial characters. Other classes are also possible, especially with alternate starting attributes, but their special abilities are best suited to a strength-based character.
