Minotaurs are the third species of animal available in the Olympus island, and the twelfth in the Space Zoo. Minotaurs are primarily smashing animals, but are also throwing animals. There are 10 different types of minotaur. Like all Space Zoo animals, more minotaurs are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the minotaur habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Olympus 1.

Behaviour[]
- Wild: Minotaurs slowly jog in the stampede, with their arms swinging next beside it.
- When ridden: Minotaurs start to get faster and are able to knock over trees and other animals smaller than minotaurs. If the player's minotaur habitat is upgraded to level 4, minotaurs will speed up as they smash obstacles, including shrubs, and animals.
- When angry: Minotaurs hold the player in their hands, and overhead throw the player around 90m forwards.
- In habitat: Minotaurs stand and walk around, occasionally flexing their left bicep by straining their arm in the air.
- Selected in habitat: Minotaurs straighten their posture and flex both biceps, shaking as they strain.
Tips[]
Minotaurs are very useful, even before they speed up as things are smashed. They are able to smash trees and all Olympus animals, giving the player some safety for a reasonable amount of time, and throw the player very far. They can be used to gain a guaranteed 500m consistently, whether it be early on or at high distances, where the speed of the animal is faster.
