I think Minotaurs have Intrinsic Telepathy too. I polymorphed into one (ring of poly control for the win) and gained it somehow, but lost it again when I changed back. Should this be noted? --206.75.108.8 05:22, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

You can still meet them anywhere

Well, even if they're never "randomly generated," one of them sure ate my lunch in the Gnomish Mines. Polymorph trap, I guess. You can run into them anywhere, not just in mazes. And they hurt!

found one on Dlvl 7

Never random my ass. And what is one doing on Dlvl7? It's not fun to die like that.

Invisible minotaur on Dlvl 5

Lvl 10 barbarian (130hp) on level 5, AC 0 (had cleared out the mines) and had just walked out of a shop. It cleaned my clock in two turns. Didn't even know what it was until I saw my headstone. --Mannc (talk) 07:19, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
