'''Minos''' (ミノス ''Minosu'') are creatures resembling organic balloons that prefer to stay airborne when attacking. They are among the more delicate [[Underworld]] monsters, being quite weak due to their brittle, air-filled bodies.
 
 
==Characteristics==
 
Minos are extremely lightweight organisms that are bright red in coloration. Their bodies are capable of expanding whenever they inhale large amounts of air, giving them the ability to float through the sky. Among their most notable features are their large tusks, as well as the dangerous spikes that line their bodies. In addition, Minos have a nasty habit of exploding if too much pressure is put on their bodies from outside forces. As such, if they are attacked in the air, their bodies will grow larger until they are forced to unleash their pressure in a fiery blast, making them a rather dangerous enemy to attack.

Minos floats in the air like a balloon, and will inflate as it is hit with attacks. When it grows large enough, Minos will explode and send Pit flying as well as inflicting a nasty amount of damage if he is nearby. They are one of the less common enemies within the game.
