The Minotaur, also known as the Minotaur Golem[1] is a half-human, half-bull creature that appears as a mythic legend inhabiting the Maze of the Minotaur in the Minecraft Mini-Series.

Appearance

The Minotaur has a tall, muscular build. He has the head of a bull with large horns and a gold ring in his nose. He has brown hair all over his body and gold bracelets on his arms. His legs are fully covered in hair and end in hooves.

Biography

When the contestants made it to the end of the Maze of the Minotaur, they were stopped by the Minotaur, who came out of his lair to guard the enchanted ender eye. Then, a cyclops and Cerberus joined him, and as they were about to fight the team, the Minotaur and the cyclops fell into a ditch Zed dug under their feet. Overwhelmed, Cerberus flew away out of fear, paving a safe path to the ender eye.

Later, when Poseidon was preparing to take over both Overworlds with his trident statue, CommuniKate tried her best to execute the self-destruct command on the statue. Accidentally, she teleported the Minotaur and his allies in front of her friends, and she quickly despawned them.

Appearances

Trivia

  • In Greek mythology, the Minotaur is a half-human, half-bull monster imprisoned in the Labyrinth.
    • He was later found and defeated by Theseus with the help of Ariadne's thread. However, the character in the series was not involved in the fight against the Minotaur, who instead fell into a deep ditch and was later despawned with a command.
  • Due to the later confirmation that Zeus and Poseidon are not real deities, it is possible that the Minotaur is another creature or person fascinated with the legend.
  • The Minotaur in the Minecraft Mini-Series is based on the "Minotaur Golem" minifigure in series 12 from Mattel which in turn was based on a texture for the iron golem in the Greek Mythology Mash-up pack.
