Special Defenses:
Natural Parry: The Minotaur will attempt to parry weapon strikes with its horns. This will only damage its horns if the parried weapon-strike deals out damage equal to, or greater, than the damage-points of the Minotaur's horns (each horn will have 2-D20 +30 damage-points per level of the Minotaur). In any case, the Minotaur's horns will turn a weapon strike on a % roll of 36+, thus receiving no harm (just as armor does).

Mental-Attack: 65%
Special Offenses:

-3-D8 to Defense and Offense for the duration of the stun effect. This stun effect stacks up to 3 times.
Charge must begin at least 2 spaces (10') from the Minotaur's intended target, or it cannot charge.
Horn Proficiency: +1 offense per level when attacking with horns.
Rage: If this creature causes 70%+ damage with an axe, it will break into a battle fury rage, gaining +1 attack per turn for 1-D4 turns. While Rage is in effect, damage will be at x2 and the Minotaur will gain a +20 to attack rolls with an axe. This ability does not stack, but will refresh each time Rage occurs. Note: Rage can occur even if its axe is turned by armor or shield.
Susceptibilities and Weaknesses: -10 to avoid Magic and Mental-Attack (See Resistances in "Special Defenses" before avoiding).
