Minotaur

Minotaur's official artwork from Shin Megami Tensei IV.

"Over a thousand and five hundred years have passed since I formed the pact with my master... You are either truly skilled or fools indeed to ignore his warning. I will dine on your blood that wishes to mingle with the Unclean!"

—Minotaur, Shin Megami Tensei IV

Minotaur or Minotauros (ミノタウロス^?) is a demon in the series.

History

The Minotaur is a beast of Greek myth, part bull and part man. He was kept by King Minos in a labyrinth created by the great Greek engineer, Daedalus. Every year, Athens was forced to send tribute to King Minos in the form of sacrifices to the Minotaur. This continued until the hero Theseus slayed the mighty beast after entering the labyrinth in whom the monster was and using the Ariadne Thread to recover his way home. In some tellings, the Minotaur is given the personal name Asterion.

Profile

Megami Tensei

The Minotaur is the main boss of the Tower of Daedalus. Upon his defeat he drops the Orb of Silence, which allows Nakajima to use the elevator.

Megami Tensei II

The Minotaur reprises as the main boss of the Tower of Daedalus. However, when the Orb of Silence is used on a strange statue, it unseals Pazuzu.

Shin Megami Tensei IV

A demon who made a pact with King Aquila of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado 1500 years ago. His task is to kill those who go too deep into Naraku and attempt to go to the Unclean Ones Country. He will be impressed with the strength of the Samurai as the battle goes on or unimpressed depending on Flynn's choices, which will either decrease his strength or Flynn's. After being defeated he will apologize to his dead master as their pact ends with his death, but believes they can entrust the future to the prentice Samurai.

As the Minotaur's attacks can heavily damage multiple party members, bringing a demon such as Leanan Sidhe or Fortuna with the Media skill can benefit Flynn during the battle. The Knocker and Fomorian demons in the area can be used to fuse a Spriggan with the Bufu skill, allowing it to hit the Minotaur's weakness while it resists physical attacks.

If Flynn has reached level 15 before fighting the Minotaur, he may also fuse a Jack Frost to increase potential damage with its Bufula skill.

Majin Tensei

Minotaur is the boss of chapter 8.
