Minotaur

A Minotaur is a monster encountered in both Rise of Velshara and Land of Velshara. They are known to frequent underground caverns and labyrinths much like their real-life mythical counterparts.

Appearance
Minotaurs are humanoid in appearance. They possess the upper body of a human, but the legs and head of a cow, though their faces are notably more human in shape and appearance. Minotaurs also sport horns of varying length, though some lack horns entirely. All minotaurs are tall and muscular.

Abilities
Minotaurs are somewhat slow but very powerful combatants. They put their thick skulls and long horns to good use, headbutting or charging enemies, which can often stun or daze their targets. They also tend to wield large, heavy bludgeoning weapons which they can easily swing around due to their high strength. Minotaurs are especially dangerous when charging, which dramatically increases the damage they can inflict with a headbutt.

Resistances and Weaknesses
Despite having a good portion of normal human skin, minotaurs are classified as anthromorphs (aka 'furries'). In the Realm of Velshara, this is considered similar to being a lycanthrope, meaning they are susceptible to silver weapons and take 50% more damage from them. Minotaurs are also resistant to stun attacks, but are vulnerable to wind magic due to their adaptation to living deep underground.

Variants
Minotaur variants are named after anagrams of different cuts of beef.


 * Sinlior: A brown-furred, light-skinned minotaur with green eyes. She is the minotaur that appears in Rise of Velshara. Her name is an anagram of the word sirloin.
 * Leva: A black-furred minotaur with tan skin, yellow eyes, and smaller horns. Her name is an anagram for the word veal.
 * Trebski: A blonde-furred minotaur with pale yellow skin and red eyes. Her name is an anagram for brisket.
