-Minotaurs are incredible at physical (melee & ranged) combat. They have a wide assortment of strengths: their actual strength, skill aptitudes, their HP, and automatic Horn attacks. Combined, they make the Minotaur one of the strongest and most durable species in the game, without the armour restrictions or skill deficiencies of a [[Troll]] or [[Ogre]].

Combined, they make the Minotaur one of the strongest and most durable species in the game, without the armour restrictions or skill deficiencies of a [[Troll]] or [[Oni]].
 The Minotaur playstyle fits right at home with [[Trog]] or [[Okawaru]] as their [[god]], simple but strong god choices. However, they are by no means limited to just those two. Picking any of their recommended backgrounds will make use of all of the Minotaur's strengths.
