First off, it has the two large horns of a minotaur with an additional two smaller horns located above its brow. Its long tail is covered in spikes that drip poison. Its massive frame is covered in black fur. Wearing a silver breastplate, this creature also carries with it a vile black and silver Greataxe, which is coated in fresh blood. Its eyes glow a baleful red.

Created from minotaurs by Baphomet, in his Tower of Science, baphitaurs serve the Beast King without question. They prowl the Endless Maze, looking for unsuspecting humanoids to devour. Baphitaur, however, are not all about killing.

Most manage Baphomet‘s Ranch, which houses millions of fiendish animals and beasts. The baphitaur continually search for animals across the mundane animals all over the Mortal Coil. They then take these animals to Baphomet‘s Tower of Science where the Beast King transforms them into fiendish versions of themselves. The newly created animals of terror are taken to Baphomet‘s Ranch, where they are kept until the time comes to unleash them upon the mulitverse. Aside from managing the ranch, baphitaur also serve in Baphomet‘s army as generals.

Baphitaurs stand 10 ft. tall and weigh 450 pounds.

Combat

Baphitaurs always start the battle with a Powerful Charge. They love using maze on their foes. Only when outnumbered, will the baphitaur call upon its tanar’ri brethren, the bulezau, for help.

Natural Cunning (Ex): Baphitaurs are immune to maze spells, can never get lost, can Track foes (gain Track feat as a bonus feat), and are never caught flat-footed.

Poison (Ex): Injury; initial 1d4 Constitution; secondary 1d4 Strength; Fort save DC 23 negates. DC is Strength-based

Powerful Charge (Ex): Whenever a baphitaur charges, it can make a single gore attack with a +19 attack bonus that deals 4d6 + 12 points of damage.

Smite Good (Su): 1/day, a baphitaur can smite good. It adds its Charisma bonus to attack rolls and its HD to damage rolls when smiting good.

Spell-Like Abilities: CL 11; DC 12 + spell level

• At will – command, detect good, dominate animal, greater teleport, see invisibility, unholy aura
• 3/day – maze

Summon Tanar’ri (Sp): 1/day, a baphitaur can summon 1d6 bulezau or 3 fiendish minotaurs. As a 4th level spell.
