Charge. If the minotaur moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target, it may attack the target with a gore attack as a bonus action. If the target is a creature, it takes an additional 11 (2d10) piercing damage and must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and be knocked prone.
Execute. Any successful attack that the minotaur makes with its greataxe against an incapacitated or prone creature is a critical hit. If the creature had 0 hit points before the attack hit, the minotaur kills it instantly via decapitation.
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 attacks it makes during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.
Trample. The minotaur can move over any prone creature of size Medium or smaller. The creature must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The creature counts as difficult terrain and is pushed up to 10 feet away if the minotaur ends its turn on top of it.

Creatures that are already prone are not affected.

Description
A cut above its kin, the alpha minotaur is outfitted for war and patrols its home ready to kill intruders on sight. It generally attempts to finish off its enemies quickly, knocking them to the ground with brute force and decapitating them with a single blow.
