Minotaur

The Minotaur is a Mythological Creature found while digging Griffin Burrows with a Griffin Pet equipped.

Spawning
The Minotaur has a chance to spawn when digging Griffin Burrows during the Mythological Ritual with a Griffin Pet equipped. The stats of the spawned Minotaur depend on the rarity of Griffin used:

Drops
The Minotaur drops:


 * 3-4 Ancient Claw
 * 0-1 Crochet Tiger Plushie
 * 0-1 Dwarf Turtle Shelmet
 * 0-1 Antique Remedies
 * 0-1 Daedalus Stick (0.1% chance)

Behavior
The Minotaur will usually attack at melee range. It will throw a slow-moving axe at the player every 1.5s, which does damage but no knockback.

The Minotaur has a special mechanic: Bleed. The stack count above the Minotaur's head increases by 1 every time the Minotaur hits the player with a regular melee attack, but increases by 3 when the thrown Axe strikes the player. The Bleed effect reduces the healing of the player. Every 2 seconds, the Minotaur will strike the player with 75x the bleed count. The Bleed counter can reset if the Minotaur doesn't gain a stack of Bleed for at least 5 seconds.

When the Aspect of the Dragons' ability Dragon Rage is used, the Minotaur will take full damage, but will not be knocked back.

Trivia

 * If the player dies to a Minotaur, the Bleed stack counter can sometimes linger in the air. This is a visual-only bug, and has no bearing on gameplay.
 * The Minotaur is based on the Minotaur, a creature with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man from Greek mythology.
 * Its Daedalus Stick drop is based on the hollow wooden cow it was born in, which was made by Daedalus.
 * For a short time, the Minotaur had an OptiFine cape of the flag of Pakistan.
