Compared to other semi-megabeasts, the minotaur is far smaller (less than half the size of a [[cow]], in fact), but it is also an [[Skill|Expert]] with [[axe]]s, [[sword]]s, [[dagger]]s, [[Pike (weapon)|pikes]], [[mace]]s, [[hammer]]s, [[whip]]s, and [[spear]]s, although it tends to show up unarmed. 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 them all over the map before catching up to them, eventually making its kill. 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 [[Crossbowman|marksdwarf]]/[[hunter]] to repeatedly shoot it to death. | Compared to other semi-megabeasts, the minotaur is far smaller (less than half the size of a [[cow]], in fact), but it is also an [[Skill|Expert]] with [[axe]]s, [[sword]]s, [[dagger]]s, [[Pike (weapon)|pikes]], [[mace]]s, [[hammer]]s, [[whip]]s, and [[spear]]s, although it tends to show up unarmed.

| + | In worlds with longer histories, minotaurs have a tendency of dying off first, their smaller size compared to other semi-megabeasts catching up with them as more skilled warriors and larger animal people appear in civilizations. | ||
