Minotaur

Minotaur's official artwork from Shin Megami Tensei IV.

"Over a thousand and five hundred years have passed since I formed the pact with my master... You are either truly skilled or fools indeed to ignore his warning. I will dine on your blood that wishes to mingle with the Unclean!"

—Minotaur, Shin Megami Tensei IV

Minotaur or Minotauros (ミノタウロス^?) is a demon in the series.

History

The Minotaur is a beast of Greek myth, part bull and part man. He was kept by King Minos in a labyrinth created by the great Greek engineer, Daedalus. Every year, Athens was forced to send tribute to King Minos in the form of sacrifices to the Minotaur. This continued until the hero Theseus slayed the mighty beast after entering the labyrinth in whom the monster was and using the Ariadne Thread to recover his way home. In some tellings, the Minotaur is given the personal name Asterion.
