In the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, minotaurs are a race of monstrous humanoids, resembling bull-human hybrids. Many minotaurs worship the demon lord Baphomet.
[edit] Minotaurs in Dragonlance
In the Dragonlance campaign setting, minotaurs are a reasonably civilised and cultured race. Living in the Minotaur Isles, they are known through the fictional world of Krynn as excellent soldiers and sailors. They worship the evil Sargas or Sargonnas as he is called by humans, who is embodied as a giant bull headed god and to a lesser extent Kiri-Jolith, the bison headed good aligned god of honor.
