Minotarumon is an Animal Digimon. It is a dark Digimon that possesses strong Dark Side Power. Although its movements are not swift, it has extremely firm skin, so it won't yield to ordinary attacks. The "Demon Arm" is equipped to its left hand.[3]
Attacks
- Earthquake Drill[4] (Darkside Quake): Generates a massive earthquake with the Demon Arm that floors opponents over a considerably wide range, so that no matter how far away they are they won't be able to escape.
- Bull Fighting Attack (Demon Arm)
Design
Minotarumon draws direct inspiration from the mythological minotaur, with a bull's head on a muscular, human body. It has brown-colored fur that looks to be a suit, with stitches on some portions and a zipper on the front. It has brown eyes, two, bull-like curved horns, brown hair, and a gold nose ring. It has a normal right hand, but its left sports the "Demon Arm", a piece of machinery. It wears brown boots on its feet.
