The Minotaur is a recurring enemy in Mana series. Debuting in Final Fantasy Adventure as a regular enemy, it eventually got promoted as a boss in Secret of Mana. The Minotaur is depicted as a muscular bipedal creature with a bull's head. The color of its body varies between shades of brick red to a light yellow. While the original artwork had it with quite a simple design, the Secret of Mana one made the monster taller and added a wrestling attire.
Starting with Secret of Mana, The Minotaur is aligned with the Earth element and therefore is weak to Wind magic. It attacks by ramming their target by extending their horns at them, or even punch the unsuspecting prey. Finally, it can cast magic to boost its defense or rain down rubble on the party. Its ultimate attack in Echoes of Mana consists of extending its arms and spinning aroud the arena for a while. Like its mythological origins, the Minotaur as a boss is fought inside maze-like structures.
