Minotaurs are enemies in Rayman Legends, Rayman Adventures, and Rayman: The Board Game’s 5-6 player expansion. 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, 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, akin to the behavior of certain Antitoons in the original Rayman game and Rayman Origins. They are also defeated with one hit. As a consequence, minotaurs do not represent a major menace individually, 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 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 red variation of the minotaur that can breathe fire. According to her description, the princess Sibylla loves to hunt minotaurs.
