Minotaur

From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion

Minotaurs have a man's body and a bull's head, stand around 10 feet tall, and move with deceptive speed. Minotaurs attack with their sharp horns and powerful fists, and they can sometimes be found wielding warhammers.

A Minotaur Lord is also known as the highest level monster in the game, and as such is the highest level monster you fight in the Arena after you have reached the Grand Champion.You can tell them apart because they have two horns.

It is best to attack Minotaurs using ranged attacks, as their speed is slightly slower than the player and they take a long time to swing their arms for attacks.They can damage your armor when they head butt so back off when their head glows red; it is a warning that they are about to use a Disintegrate Armor spell, listed below.
