Minotaur
From the Castlevania Wiki, the Castlevania wiki
[edit] Castlevania: Bloodlines
In this game, Minotaurs appear frequently through stage 2. In that stage you'll find minotaurs wielding knives, polearms, or charging about. A few minotaurs appear in Stage three where they grab ahold of marble columns and swing them around. Strangely, when ever you kill them, the sound they make is the same for when you destroy a Skeledragon.
[edit] Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
The Minotaur is the standard boss of Stage 3 and Stage 3'. In this game it has quite a few attacks, including two axe attacks (one high, one low), a fire attack, an attack where he uses floor panels against Richter, and a charging attack. The player can move under him when it uses its jumping axe attack, and do a backflip over the Minotaur when it uses its charging attack. Once defeated, the Minotaur charges at the player in a last ditch attack, but this probably will not kill him. Defeat of the Minotaur moves the player to Stage 4.

[edit] Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Is a large beast summoned by Richter Belmont in the colloseum, it comes teamed with a Werewolf, impaling and slashing with its great axe at the player dealing a lot of damage if not careful, eventually the Minotaur will ram from one corner of the room to another, just like it does in Dracula X Chronicles.
On the reverse Castle, the Minotaur appears then again in the colloseum as a regular monster, using the same battle tactics and accompanied by Werewolves and other Minotaurs wich can be even more dificult to deal with them then before.
If you attack him with not a too slow sword repeteadly he'll be locked on the attack 'till is destroyed. Also, is considered a "were-bull", so the werebane is extra effective against him.

In Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance, there are two Minotaur bosses, LV1 & LV2. Minotaur LV1 wields the traditional battle axe, and drops the Wind Book, which infuses your sub weapons with the power of wind magic, upon defeat. Minotaur LV2 is a bit different, as he uses a Ball & Chain. This form is a bit harder to defeat, as you never know where he will attack with the Ball & Chain. He drops the Steel Ball Whip Enhancement upon defeat.

[edit] Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
The Monotaur appears as it usually does, as a giant monster weilding a massive weapon, this time around a large pillar, unlike its predecessors this Minotaur has a wound on its back, that reveals its dorsal spine, and appears to be a zombie. Its attacks are hard to avoid, and eventually will throw the pillar at the player, turning around to look for another and continue the battle.

[edit] Castlevania: Judgment
His appearance is similar to his appearance in Castlevania Curse of Darkness, its a Boss Battle in the Story Mode or the Castle Mode, its much more harder to defeat than the Iron Gladiator, the other powerhouse of the game. Like in Curse of Darkness its attack are incredibly hard to dodge, and different from its previous incarnation is that it never throws the pillar weapon it has (because there are no others to grab).
[edit] Trivia
- In the trailer for Castlevania Judgment unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show 2008, a Minotaur was seen fighting Simon Belmont. There was speculation that Minotaur was a playable character. However, Konami said that Minotaur has been confirmed as a boss character for Story Mode.
- The Minotaur is based off a creature of Greek Mythology.
