* ''Literature/TheImmortals'': The Tauros are a OneGenderRace that exists only to rape and kill human women. In this series, immortals are created from human dreams and fears, and the Tauros was borne of women's fear of rape. Daine notes that it doesn't have any choice in what it is and tries to petition the gods to help them, but because of the nature of Immortals, Tauroses will exist as long as women fear rape.

* ''WebOriginal/CodexInversus'': Minotaurs are taurine Beast Folk famous for their impeccable sense of direction, and are often employed as navigators, guides and cartographers. This is in large part a self-enforcing cultural thing -- the stereotype developed in the past for somewhat unclear reasons, and modern Minotaurs face a strong societal pressure to be good at finding their way.

** ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'' includes minotaurs as a fairly civilized, if not always ''nice'', ProudWarriorRace, which may have inspired 4e to make them a playable race in general. It ''definitely'' is the reason they are playable in 5e.

** ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'' includes minotaurs as a fairly civilized, if not always ''nice'', ProudWarriorRace, which may have inspired 4e to make them a playable race in general. It ''definitely'' is the reason they are playable in 5e. One trait that remains unique to ''Dragonlance'' minotaurs however is that their society is BornUnderTheSail, being some of the most renowned mariners in the setting--an unusual trait for a hoofed species one might assume would have difficulty keeping their footing on a swaying ship.

Added an entry for the Animated Adaptation of Dantes Inferno since it actually included the Minotaur where the game itself left it out.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/DantesInferno: [[AnimatedAdaptation An Animated Epic]]'' features the Minotaur as a guardian of the circle of Violence. This is in contrast to the game where it was AdaptedOut like many of Violence's other fiends. Here, the Minotaur has the appearance of an incredibly spiky, flat-faced [[TheBerserker berserker]] with three horns. Its only bull-like features are its tail and hooves. After a little provocation from Virgil, Dante [[DeadlyDodging evades it]] until it charges into a collapsing wall.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Godforsaken}}'': Minotaurs are aggressive bull-headed and -hooved humanoids who enjoy eating human flesh. Some legends say that the first minotaur was the result of a curse from a god, and others suggest that it was created by a demon, but the truth is lost to antiquity; the minotaurs themselves do not especially care, and mostly lead primitive lives alone or in small tribal groups. Minotaurs are interested in mazes and mazelike spaces and like to wander within them, memorising the paths and finding good places to stage ambushes.

* ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'': Some of the monsters the adventurers have to face are Minotaurs. They are so powerful monsters that only experienced and powerful adventurers can reliably face them. The fact that the main protagonist Bell Cranel can later defeat a Minotaur illustrates how strong he has become in a short time. Later, the Minotaur that Bell defeated is reincarnated as a Xenos, gaining the ability to speak and the name Asterius, which is a derivative of the Minotaur of Crete's true name, and desires to face Bell in a rematch.
