Race Description: Minotaurs



Physical Attributes & Behavior:
A few Minotaurs can cause great havoc, if they're up to raid cities. Their skin is made of very thick leather, which is already an efficient armor against many things, especially projectiles like arrows. So when they are equipped with heavy armor, very few creatures can hope deals significant damage to them. Each of them has also the strength of a half-dozen humans, which make them nearly unstoppable as well. Fortunately for other civilized races, Minotaurs raids are very rare. They are not expansionists and they generally don't want to have many interactions with other races, on any level (be it diplomacy, trade or war). However, they are very territorial. If some people enter their domain without being invited, they will learn soon enough what "Minotaur's Wrath" means, the painful way.

Sexuality:
While Minotaur females are never seen outside their cities, Minotaur males are known to be particularly attracted by humanoid females, especially human and elven ones. In fact, this is mainly the most common topic of discord, starting a conflict with other races: as their own females are always welcoming males when they want to mate, they don't understand why females of other races are so shy or reluctant about it. Combine that with the fact they have incredible sexual stamina, and this create cases of rape, often leading to a tragic end for the human or elf female, exhausting her to death during the sexual act. However, in the rare case the female survives (whether because she was of strong constitution or being rescued before the Minotaur has satisfied completely his urges), it has been documented that Minotaurs mating with a human or elf female can generate offspring. When this happens, it appears the child is mostly of Minotaur lineage. He might get a few physical features from his mother, but he will be mostly a Minotaur every time.
