Minotaur

Appearance
The minotaur has a heavily muscular human body, bull's head, hooves and tail.

Personality
Minotaurs are relatively straightforward combatants, using their horns to horribly gore the nearest living creature when combat begins. The cutlass is a minotaur's favorite weapon and to lose it is a great shame.

Society
Minotaurs are pirates by nature. They name their society The Herd. The Herd consists of many clans, over which an Elder rules. Clans differ in their selection of an Elder but generally it is wisest minotaur in the clan. Clans may merge or split. The clan's rank is determined in e lections in which all elders participate, according to the needs of The Herd. The Herd is divided to five ranks: Taureans, Corsaires, Buccaneers, Privateers and Aristocrats.

1.Taureans
Taurean males are the skirmishers the minotaurs. They are deployed to attack enemy infantry and destroy ports. When is reserve, they construct ships and craft weaponry. A taurean will not attack unless ordered or in self defense. It is the lowest rank. Taurean females are the cooks and hunters of The Herd and do not participate the battle (though they do salvage edible enemy bodies).

2. Corsairs
Corsairs are sea raiders. They raid enemy and neutral ships, take prisoners and terrorize civilized shores. Over a ground skirmish or a port attack of Taureans, a Corsair commands. Corsairs also serve as guards and watchmen.

3. Buccaneers
Buccaneers are the scouts and treasure hunters of The Herd. They navigate and map the seas and look for wealth and relics. Their adventurous role grants them relative freedom. There are specialbforces of Buccaneers who serve as assassins and bodyguards. A Buccaneer commands a ship of Corsairs or a guard force.

4. Privateers
Privateers are officers of The Herd. They strategize, overseer the trade with foregin races, administer the cities, negotiate and hold the elections of the ranks. A Privateer instructs a ship of Buccaneers. Adept Privateers train and command the special forces.

5. Aristocrats
The rank of Aristocrats is given to one clan. Typically one of the Privateer rank who proved to be superior. The aristocrats reign The Herd. The Aristocrats hold the property of The Herd and are thus the monopolists. The mayors of the biggest cities are also Aristocrats and command the officers in the cities. The Elder of the Arostocrats' clan is named Doge, parallel to king.
