Minotaur

A massive creature with the head of a bull and body of a man, the Minotaur is famous for its immense strength, unbreakable horns, and for its... robust love life. Minotaurs were most common in ancient Greece and they are still closely associated with the Filik Eteria. They are also associated with an earlier, advanced civilization (some modern people assume this to be a connection to ancient Atlantis). 
Minotaurs are uncommon in the modern world, their bellicose nature having gotten them killed over the centuries. However, some of them survive and live in isolated groups on islands in the Aegean or in other areas removed from modern society. 
== Facts: ==
-The Minotaur are a race of physically powerful creatures, their hard flesh able to receive devastating blows and absorb the impact. They heal quickly, and can survive for long periods of time on very little. 
-Minotaur are also known for being very ornery and aggressive. Magick and ranged-warfare is uncommon to them, they prefer to close distance with their enemies and bring their massive strength to bear.
-Minotaur are also known for possessing above-average fertility. The flesh of Minotaurs was often taken and burned, used as a powder chemical in ancient aphrodisiacs. It must have done something because it remains popular even well into modern times. 
-Ancient Minotaur feature in stories from Celtic Gaul to the steppes of Mongolia. However, the Mediterranean seems to have been their homeland as they feature most prominently in the cultures of that land. 
-Minotaurs tend to keep to themselves. They carve out a territory and defend it fiercely from Supernaturals they view as a threat. They prefer to live in areas of low population and natural beauty.
