Minotaurs are large, predatory theropod dinosaurs. They are also intelligent Anthrosaurs. Their overall body shape is the same as typical carnivorous dinosaurs, except that the braincase is quite enlarged and - even more obvious - they have two massive brow-horns.

Another unusual feature in Minotaurs is the hands. Like many other theropods, Minotaur arms are much smaller than the legs, and the hands have three clawed fingers. However, Minotaur hands are built for using tools rather than powerful grasping and clawing.

The Minotaurs' neck, chest and shoulders are covered by a shaggy mane, but most of the body is bare, revealing scaly armor scutes reinforced in some areas by small bony plates in the skin.

The Minotaur can attack effectively with it's sharp teeth, horns, and the claws on it's feet, but the horns can also be used for less lethal head-butting and grappling. Rival Minotaurs often compete by locking horns and trying to throw each other off balance. The ends of the horns of the male Minotaurs point generally downward, whereas the ends of the horns of the female minotaurs point generally upward.

Minotaur language sounds like a deep pitched combination of growls, groans, croaks and roars. All though they do gesture with their hands and tails, most of the gesturing is done with the horns.
