   Before you stands the Overseer of the Labyrinth, The Minotaur.  He smashes
his huge crossbow against the wall and brings forth his double bladed
war axe, Bloodbane, chuckling evily at your misfortune.  The Minotaur stands
easily six and a half feet tall and barrel chested.  His bare arms are heavily
muscled and corded, bulging as he grips his axe.  His two horns glisten in
the dim light and you realize they are encased in mithril as part of a helm.
The muscles in his legs bulge and crawl under his wiry fur and his hooves
crack loudly on the stone floor as he advances.
