In fortress mode, they will attack your fortress once it reaches 50 population, 5000 exported wealth, and 50000 created wealth. They can easily overpower normal dwarves, but a well-equipped military should be able to take care of one. They are susceptible to traps and can easily be caught with a cage trap and can then be used in a labyrinth of your own. | In fortress mode, they will attack your fortress once it reaches 50 population, 5000 exported wealth, and 50000 created wealth.

It is also Talented at wrestling, striking, kicking, and dodging; Competent at biting; and a Master observer. If the minotaur happens to have a ranged weapon, it does not carry any ammunition, rendering it only usable as a makeshift bludgeon{{verify}}. It can still be dangerous to an unarmed civilian, chasing it all over the map before catching up to them and smashing their heads in. However, any amateur hunter can be drafted into the [[military]] and be sent to kill the Minotaur. Usually, the first hit will mildly disable or knock out the minotaur, allowing the marksdwarf to repeatedly shoot it to death. |
In Adventure mode a quest may be given to slay a particular Minotaur that may have previously killed other adventurers in the history of the world. Upon entering the labyrinth the butchered corpses of these fallen adventurers can be found throughout the labyrinth. | In Adventure mode a quest may be given to slay a particular Minotaur that may have previously killed other adventurers in the history of the world.
