Minotaur, Labyrinth Keeper

Family: Minotaur

The minotaur moon priestess stands at the center of the maze, raising her silver axe to the skies as the lunar light glistens off her silver horns. Behind her, the labyrinth keeper’s hands and eyes begin to glow.

Special Traits

• Charge. If the labyrinth keeper moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 9 (2d8) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.
• Labyrinthine Recall. The minotaur labyrinth keeper can perfectly recall any path it has traveled.
• Reckless Caster. At the start of its turn, the minotaur labyrinth keeper can gain advantage on all spell attack rolls it makes during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.

  • 2/day each: inflict wounds, stone shape
