Conversion Notes: This package represents the minimum abilities of a minotaur from the Rifts role playing game. This write-up uses Champions 5th edition rules.

The minotaurs are nomadic beast men standing 7 to 9 feet tall, with powerful builds. They have humanoid bodies with the heads of bulls. Although peaceful by nature, they make powerful warriors. They are resistant to heat and cold attacks, have excellent night vision and have a natural life span of 400 years. Minotaurs are generally wary of all other races.

Minotaurs can become almost any man of arms occupation. They cannot learn magic, but can be psychics. Although they can use bionics, most won't consider it.

To learn more about the minotaurs, I suggest purchasing and reading Rifts Conversion Book by Kevin Siembieda.
