Minotaurus (ミノタウãƒã‚¹ Minotaurosu) is a rare and near-extinct species found on Earth. They reside on Monster Island under the protection of Android 17. In the anime, there appears to only be one left,[1] while in the manga there are still several.[2]

Three Minotaurus in the manga
The Minotaurus are extremely rare, bull-like creatures. In the anime, it is said their horns are extremely valuable for money[1] and held the key to an immortality elixir.[3] As a result, they were over-hunted nearly to the point of extinction.[1]
Etymology[]
Minotaurus is derived from the mythical creature Asterion, also known as "Minotaur", which was the offspring of Minos's wife, Pasiphae, and the Cretan Bull, the former being orchestrated by Poseidon to fall in love with the latter as punishment to Minos for keeping the Cretan Bull instead of killing it. It was then kept in a labyrinth where it fed on any humans that got in its way.
