“A bull-like monster that is half bull and half human.” — Its Game Manual Description

Having been entrusted one of the Three Sacred Treasures by Palutena, the Minotaur appears as the first boss of the game.

Though its attacks are difficult to avoid, its strategy is simple: to launch an arch of skull-shaped projectiles at its foe, teleport to another platform in the form of a fireball, then repeat this process.
