Traits

Charge. If the minotaur moves at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 27 (6d8) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 30 feet away and knocked prone.

Labyrinthine Recall. The minotaur can perfectly recall any path it has traveled.

Reckless. At the start of its turn, the minotaur can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls it makes during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.

Actions

Multiattack. The minotaur makes two warhammer attacks, or one rock or gore attack.


Warhammer. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d8 + 10) bludgeoning damage.

Description

Long ago, the dark god Bane began preparing for an invasion upon the mortal realm.  He thought to create an army of muscle and rage, and through their strength, the world would recognize his right to rule.  He sought out a perfect warrior for his army, and he chose the minotaur to bear the great honor of his favor.

He collected a tribe of human-eating minotaurs and hid them deep underground.  He trained them to fight, and he rewarded the most viscous with strength and size.  Over many generations of culling the weak, the descendants became monstrous beings capable of much destruction.  Unfortunately for Bane, his forces were destroyed before he could release the Bane Steers, so they wait deep below for a sign to be the warriors they were bred to be.

Bane Steers are similar to their minotaur cousins, but they are the same size and stature of a giant.  Their ancestor's fur was burned off by rivers of lava, and only small tufts remain on top of their head and the tips of their tails.  Their eyes burn with a deep red glow, and their sharpened teeth are perfect for tearing flesh.
