Rintrah is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. Rintrah is an other-dimensional being with a resemblance to the mythological minotaur; something like a green-furred horned ox with humanoid hands and walks upright on his hind feet.

Rintrah has sensitivity to the presence of occult forces and possesses the potential to become a skilled sorcerer. He was once the apprentice of the other-dimensional sorcerer known as Enitharmon the Weaver. When Doctor Strange brought his mystical coat of levitation to Enitharmon to be repaired, the wizard restored the cloak and sent Rintrah to Earth to return to to Strange. Strange, who had been gravely wounded, possessed Rintrah's body with his permission to battle the alien mystic Urthona. After this, Rintrah accompanied Strange on his exploits for a time, and after departing for a time, returned to ask Strange to make him his apprentice.
