For the summoning familiars, see: Bronze minotaur, Iron minotaur, Steel minotaur, Mithril minotaur, Adamant minotaur, or Rune minotaur.

Minotaurs are furry ungulates found in the Vault of War within the Stronghold of Security. They are also found in Turael's/Spria's basement where they are level 44, however, the player must be on their slayer challenge in order to access it. They drop the right skull half, the first piece of the Skull sceptre. Many players train Ranged on these monsters, as they often drop iron arrows.

Minotaurs are commonly used for training for low and mid level players, but some times even high level ones, because they have low strength and defence. However, their accuracy can be a problem for long training sessions, especially if the player has a low defence level or uses insufficient protection. They do hit high for their level so be sure to bring food.

Setting up a dwarf cannon at Minotaurs can be a decent way to obtain an easy Clue Scroll.
