If left alone, Minotaurs generally live fairly peaceful lives. However, they are extremely territorial, and are prone to fly into berserker rages when they think someone or something has violated their space. Since herds only have one mature male, younger males sometimes seek their fortune in the world at large, struggling to keep their more aggressive instincts in check. Don't be fooled by the smaller horns of the females, as they can be every bit as temperamental and deadly as the males! Minotaurs are only available via the remort command.
