Mythological origins	Minotaur

In the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, minotaurs are a race of monstrous humanoids, resembling bull-human hybrids. Many minotaurs worship the demon lord Baphomet.

The minotaur was one of the earliest creatures introduced in the D&D game.

The minotaur was one of the first monsters introduced in the earliest edition of the game, in the Dungeons & Dragons "white box" set (1974), where they were described as a bull-headed man, and a man-eater.

The minotaur appears in the first edition Monster Manual (1977), where it is described as a cruel man-eater, typically found in labyrinthe places in the wilderness and underground.

The minotaur was one of the main player character races of the Dragonlance campaign setting. The Bloodsea minotaur appeared in the modules Dragons of Dreams (1985) and Dragons of Triumph (1986), and then appeared in the Dragonlance Adventures hardcover (1987). The Krynn minotaur also appeared as a player character race in Dragonlance Adventures.

The minotaur was detailed in Dragon #116 (1986), in the "Ecology of the Minotaur".

This edition of the D&D game included its own version of the minotaur, in the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set (1977, 1981, 1983). Minotaurs were also later featured in the Dungeons & Dragons Game set (1991), the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia (1991), the Classic Dungeons & Dragons Game set (1994), and the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game set (1999).
