Gorgotaurs are Minotaurs who have magically been infused with the blood of Gorgons. Like the Gorgons, their bodies are covered by thick metallic scales. They are often found in the company of ordinary Minotaurs, often taking the roles of leaders or body guards to Minotaur Chieftains. Due to their great strength they gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage if using a weapon.
Their breath is a cloud of vapor, 60' long and 10' wide. Those within it must make a saving throw vs. turn to stone, or be petrified. This breath attack can only be used once per turn. Gorgotaurs are immune to their breath weapons and all other petrifying attacks.
