− | '''Minotaurs''' | + | '''Minotaurs''' inhabit Labyrinths (marked with a {{Raw Tile|#|0:7:1}} on the Travel map). As you explore the labyrinth in [[Adventurer mode]], the Minotaur will taunt you until you find and kill it. |

+ | Minotaurs are [[Building destroyer]]s and are [[Semi-megabeast]]s attracted by [[Wealth]] just like regular [[Megabeast]]s and [[Titan]]s. You will get a warning message when they appear. | ||
− | + | In Fortress mode, they will attack your fortress once it reaches 50 population, 5000 exported wealth, and 50000 created wealth. They can be quite dangerous, easily overpowering normal dwarves, but a well-equipped military should be able to take care of one. They are susceptible to traps and can easily be restrained via a cage trap and can then be used in a labyrinth of your own. | |
− | + | Compared to other semimegabeasts, the minotaur is far smaller (no larger than a normal cow, in fact), but it is also an expert with all types of weapons, and comes with one to your fortress. | |
− | + | Sometimes, it might even bring a ranged weapon, perhaps a crossbow. However, it does not bring any ammunition, rendering it only usable as a makeshift hammer. 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 assigned to a squad, preferably as [[captain of the guard]], and be sent to kill the Minotaur unarmored with wooden bolts. 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.
