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.

Also, if the Bleed count reaches to 27, the Minotaur will run away from you, and thrown axe won't strike player. This lasts until the Bleed count turns to 0.

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.
