Minotaur
Minotaurs are known for their physical strength, devotion, and bravery. They feel at ease on the battlefield and are eager to fight for their respective causes. They mix a fiery rage in battle with razor-sharp tactics, making them great leaders and useful shock soldiers.
Minotaurs are humanoids with barrel-chested bodies and bull-like heads. Their horns range in length from approximately a foot to enormous, curling weapons that are easily three times that. To protect their horns from harm, they typically wear metal rings on them or wrap them in metal.
Males have large tufts of hair on their chins and cheeks, and their manes of shaggy fur reach down their necks and strong backs. They have hefty cloven hooves at the end of their legs. Minotaurs are born with long, tufted tails, but some get them docked as part of a coming-of-age ritual; they find wearing heavy armor with a long tail in the way far more pleasant.
Minotaurs are ferocious and like fighting. They usually express their wrath through violence, although they aren't easily angered. They are fervent in their love for their friends and lovers, and they laugh heartily at clever jokes.
