'''Minotaurs''' are enemies in the 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 "H" as a buckle. This 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''' 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. These minotaurs are apparently allied to the [[Giant 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. There is a varation of minotaur that can breathe fire. According to her description, the princess [[Sibylla]] loves to hunt minotaurs.
==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.
