'''Minotaurs''' are enemies in the upcoming game ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. They are small anthrophomorphic light-purple creatures with an upset face, short humanoid arms, hoof-like feet and a pair of downwards pointing bull horns. They wear dark-purple pants and a belt with a "W" as a buckle. While this might mean that they work for someone with a "W" as an initial, it might also simply mean that they accidentaly wear their belts upside down to represent their initial "M". Some of them seem to like cleaning everything, constantly using brushes and rags to keep floors and cages clean.
'''Minotaurs''' are enemies which in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''’s 5-6 player expansion. In all three games, they appear as the most common enemies in the [[Olympus Maximus]] world.


Individually, they don't represent a major menace as they don't move (they just perform a small jump) and can be easily defeated with one hit, but in groups they can become a more challenging obstacle. Compensating their underdeveloped size, some Minotaurs use the tactic of standing in top of each other to create a wall of Minotaurs and don't let the heroes pass. This wall can be easily destroyed, as the weakness of these creatures makes them all fall and [[bubble|bubblize]] immediately with one hit; sometimes doing this has a consequence, like losing the opportunity to get a cage in a hard to reach place. Minotaur are apparently allied to a bigger type of minotaur, which holds a shield and a fiery hammer and resembles more the original mythological creature, with a more human body and the full head of a bull.
==Description==
Minotaurs are small anthrophomorphic light-purple creatures with an upset face, short humanoid arms, hoof-like feet and a pair of downwards pointing bull horns. They wear dark-purple pants and a belt with a "H" as a buckle, which might be a reference to Hades. Some of them seem to like cleaning everything, constantly using brushes and rags to keep floors and cages clean.
 
Minotaurs tend to be static, only performing a small jump and trying to bite the heroes when they get too close to them, akin to the behavior of certain [[Antitoon]]s in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. Not all minotaurs stand in one place, however, as some will charge towards the heroes upon spotting them. Like every enemy in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', they are also defeated with one hit. As a consequence, minotaurs do not represent a major threat individually, but in groups they can become a more challenging obstacle. To compensate for their diminutive size, some minotaurs stand on top of each other to create a wall of minotaurs, preventing the heroes from passing. This wall can be easily destroyed, however, as the weakness of these creatures makes them all fall and [[Bubble#Vitality|bubblize]] immediately with one hit; sometimes doing this has a consequence, like losing the opportunity to get to a hard-to-reach [[cage]].
 
These minotaurs appear to be allied to the [[Giant Minotaur]], which more closely resembles the original mythological creature with a more human body and the full head of a bull. There is also a [[Red Minotaur|red variation]] of the minotaur that can breathe fire. According to her description, the princess [[Sibylla]] loves to hunt minotaurs.
 
==In ''Rayman Legends''==
In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', minotaurs appear in nearly every main level in [[Olympus Maximus]], whether in the foreground or as a background element. In the latter case, the player can use the touchscreen in the Wii U, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game to make [[Murfy]] slap the minotaurs and gain a few [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] from them. The only levels from that world in which they are absent are [[A Cloud of Darkness!]] and the two princess rescue levels.

==In ''Rayman Adventures''==
Minotaurs reappear in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', where they show up in the "Fight to the Finish!" levels set in [[Olympus Maximus#Rayman Adventures|Olympus Maximus]]. Unlike in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', many of the minotaurs now charge towards the heroes rather than standing still.
