Special Traits

• Charge. If a phase minotaur 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 27 (6d8) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.
• Ethereal Ambusher. In the first round of a combat, a phase minotaur has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it has surprised.
• Ethereal Jaunt. As a bonus action, a phase minotaur can magically shift from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane, or vice versa.
• Labyrinthine Recall. A phase minotaur can perfectly recall any path it has traveled.
• Reckless. At the start of its turn, a phase minotaur can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls it makes during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.
• Vorpal Weapon. A phase minotaur wields a vorpal greataxe. If a phase minotaur rolls a natural 20 on an attack roll, a phase minotaur severs the creature’s head. The creature dies if it can’t survive without the lost head. A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to slashing damage, doesn’t have or need a head, has legendary actions, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its head to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 27 (6d8) slashing damage from the hit.
