Minotaurs are a standard beefy Monster that start appearing in the Terra Cavern. They hit reasonably hard, and twice per round, and have a healthy number of HP, but their Defense is somewhat lacking. Don't waste Spells on them, just hit them hard with melee attacks and they should go down soon enough. Monks in particular shine against them.

Necrotaurs are nothing special statistically, but for whatever reason, you cannot flee from them. This isn't much of a problem since aside from maybe hurting a lightly armored character a bit, they aren't a threat. It is quite fun to use your pair of Light Axes against them after clearing the Sunken Shrine.

BULLS are similar to TIGERS without the high crit rate—their attacks are a danger to non-FIGHTERS, but they are easily killed with simple physical attacks.
