There are 2 kinds of SR Minotaurs.
One is a critter. It's an awakened man-eating bull.
The other is nothing but an odd looking Troll. Some troll metatypes around
the greek area UGE'd into a distinct body type - two symetrical horns,
elongated nose, dark, almost furry skin. They call them minotaurs. Same
thing with Ogres. Those are just smooth orcs. No different rules or
anything, just a diff. appearance.
