In combat, Minotaurs are fearless Vex that will always charge their targets while firing their Torch Hammers. They will also teleport erratically while flanking Guardians at different angles, making them a difficult target to pin down. To reinforce their armor, they are also equipped with a [[Void]] shield. One important thing to note about Vex Minotaurs is that unlike Vex Goblins and Hobgoblins, they lack an abdominal weak spot and although shooting a Minotaur's head off will disable its teleportation ability as well as its shield, it will only become even more dangerous - going berserk and firing their Torch Hammers in rapid succession while charging Guardians. In this state, they can punch through a Guardian's shield in seconds.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] | In combat, Minotaurs are fearless Vex that will always charge their targets while firing their Torch Hammers.

Minotaurs are heavy Vex units and are the main builders of the Vex collective.[1]
Overview
Minotaurs are one of the deadliest Vex troops Guardians will encounter due to their explosive weaponry, unpredictable teleportation, and aggressive movements, but aside from combat most of their processing power is devoted to planning and building massive Vex structures suspected to span multiple dimensions.[2] Minotaurs are equipped with Torch Hammers, a devastating heavy weapon that fires projectiles of strange matter and mauls targets with exotic particle decay and deadly radiation.[3]
Gameplay
In combat, Minotaurs are fearless Vex that will always charge their targets while firing their Torch Hammers. They will also teleport erratically while flanking Guardians at different angles, making them a difficult target to pin down. To reinforce their armor, they are also equipped with a Void shield. One important thing to note about Vex Minotaurs is that unlike Vex Goblins and Hobgoblins, they lack an abdominal weak spot and although shooting a Minotaur's head off will disable its teleportation ability as well as its shield, it will only become even more dangerous - going berserk and firing their Torch Hammers in rapid succession while charging Guardians. In this state, they can punch through a Guardian's shield in seconds.[4]
In Destiny 2, Minotaurs now additionally employ the usage of the Vex Laser Rifle, which can melt through Guardian shields in mere seconds, making them even more dangerous than their first iterations. Though they appear more armored, their weak spots are now visible.

Trivia
- Alongside the Hive Shrieker and Fallen Shank, Minotaurs were one of the few enemy types in Destiny to lack a critical spot that could be exploited. In Destiny 2 this was changed, however, as they now harbor critical spots which make for easier targets.
- Minotaurs are the only Vex units who have more than one eye as two more are located on it's shoulders.
