Koisterion

==Overview==
Wouldn't it be fucked up if there was a Minotaur?
Koisterion proves that statement. She is a Empyreal-tier Major Threat worth 35,000 KC and is summoned with a Sapling of Life.
== Appearance==
Koisterion is a large Koishi reminiscent of a marble statue, albeit decaying with flesh and blood splattered all over her. She has two arms on her right-hand side that are conjoined at the shoulder, and firmly grasp a large hammer that seems to have gums and teeth.
Her torso is mostly torn off, save for a spine-like construct on her stomach surrounded by what appears to be molars clamping down on it, and her left arm is the most severely damaged with a fleshy arm past a shoulder depicting a smiling face. Her head is half-absent, revealing her emotions to be a guise and unveiling an ecstatic-looking organic composition beneath, and the previously-mentioned left arm is clutching it seemingly out of shame or remorse. She has the ears, horns and tail synonymous with that of a bull.
==Lore Dossier==
Dropped upon collecting any of Koisterion's spawned rewards.
Koisterion was the loyal steed of Queen Minoshi, used in battle when the first hundred Koishis fought each other over who got to be Koishi Komeiji (the basis)’s favorite. Although Queen Minoshi prevailed, Koisterion was sacrificed during the final duel in Satori’s dining hall (or more “Satori tossed Koisterion outside believing she was a massive dog”).Koisterion is attuned to the energy radiated by Saplings of Life, as it reminds her of the home she was denied. Her last wish is to be welcomed by Queen Minoshi in the halls of the Palace once more, even if it’s becoming less and less unreachable by the day.
==Behavior==
Koisterion's fight has two phases, both of which are defeated by Parrying (although she can be damaged for lesser numbers at any time). She has 2 phases and 600 HP.
=== Phase 1 === 
*Koisterion rushes forward in a random direction, not stopping until she hits a wall. Players can get trampled and die instantly during this attack, but this attack will always lead to a parry window regardless of the next move.
* Koisterion crushes a gib that surrounds herself in a toxic acid for 60 seconds.
*Koisterion throws a homing gib functionally identical to a mortar.
*Koisterion swings her hammer several times, firing two projectiles whilst the hammer itself creates a massively-stretching wall of pain in whatever direction it's facing. A parry window opens after this.
*Koisterion slams her hammer into the ground, causing an explosion.
===Phase 2===
Triggered at 350 HP, and signified by her turning red and roaring loudly. Cooldowns are reduced, and Koisterion is capable of chaining attacks immediately after the other for a grueling fight. 
* The hammer-smash attack now explodes twice, with one red and more damaging.
* Koisterion's hammer-swing attack fires a mortar gib alongside the lesser bullets.
*Koisterion can now interrupt her own bull-charge attack, stopping early before firing a bullet or two.
==Trivia==
*Her name is a portmanteau of "Koishi" and the mythological Minotaur's actual name, Asterion.
**This name was chosen because her initial name, "Koishitaur", would likely not get past Roblox's moderation system.
*Koisterion's icon is actually majorly desaturated compared to her full in-game sprite, as the original image got Marecrisium's ROBLOX account to receive a warning for depictions of blood and gore. This is despite the fact the original sprite survived the moderation process and is currently used in-game.
*Much of Koisterion's SFX are pulled from various dinosaurs in the survival game ARK: Survival Evolved. For example, the roaring sound she emits when preparing to use her hammer-swing attack is sampled from a Giganotosaurus.
*I'M A TINY MINOTAUR, LITTLE MINOTAUR, KILL YOU ANY MINUTE-TAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

*Her description references a passage regarding the Minotaur from the book House of Leaves. Be warned, this is a long read, so expand if you have an above-average attention span.
It is a reference to a story in Greek mythology; to put things short, Poseidon gifts Minos a bull as a reward for good service, but requests that he sacrifice it when the time comes. Minos elects not to do so, instead cherishing the bull and treating it with whatever is expected of a bull. However, Poseidon isn't fucking wit that vibe, and curses the king's wife Pasiphae to fall in love with it.Continuing on, Pasiphae gets Daedalus to create a wooden bull to do unspeakable horrors towards it, accidentally impregnating either herself or the bull through the process (as the actual bull was put inside the wooden construct) and in the process creating the half-man half-bull Asterion. Minos later loses his son Androgeus to it, and dreadful of his indirect creation, hires Daedalus (the very same man who led to this situation in the first place, mind you) to create the Labyrinth and ensnares the Minotaur. Theseus later goes on to slay the Minotaur.House of Leaves reconstructs the Minotaur to be (potentially) symbolic of an author's previous works that they now want to disassociate with and forget. It is also an antagonist in the book itself, albeit whether it is a physical one (i.e. whether or not the Minotaur is a threat you can only dread the presence of while you are in the House) is left deliberately vague, and House of Leaves being the absolute mindfuck that it is means I'm not interested in elaborating further. Read the book yourself, or find a summary.
