Minotarumon is an Animal Digimon. It is a dark Digimon that possesses strong Dark Side Power. Although its movements are not swift, it has extremely firm skin, so it won't yield to ordinary attacks. The "Demon Arm" is equipped to its left hand.[3]
Attacks
- Earthquake Drill[4] (Darkside Quake): Generates a massive earthquake with the Demon Arm that floors opponents over a considerably wide range, so that no matter how far away they are they won't be able to escape.[5]
- Bull Fighting Attack (Demon Arm)
- Heavy Attack: Attacks with a blow with the power of a beast.
Design[]
Minotarumon draws direct inspiration from the mythological minotaur, with a bull's head on a muscular, human body. It has brown-colored fur that looks to be a suit, with stitches on some portions and a zipper on the front. It has brown eyes, two, bull-like curved horns, brown hair, and a gold nose ring. It has a normal right hand, but its left sports the "Demon Arm", a piece of machinery. It wears brown boots on its feet.

A Minotarumon acts as the leader of a transport unit carrying T.K. Takaishi to Devimon in a Bulbmon. Upon seeing Tai Kamiya and Matt Ishida outside, Minotarumon sends his Troopmon to attack them, but they are rescued by Leomon and his troops.
When the Bulbmon is invaded by Leomon, Tai Kamiya and Matt Ishida, Minotarumon coordinates his Troopmon in stopping them, but his forces are all destroyed. When the three reach the chamber containing T.K., Minotarumon sends a Bullmon to fight the DigiDestined while he fights Leomon himself, revealing in the process that he serves Devimon because he craves the power that Devimon is trying to create which will change everything about Digimon and the entire Digital World itself. After Greymon destroys Bullmon, Leomon and Minotarumon attack each other with their fist attacks, resulting in a stalemate until Leomon suddenly blasts Minotarumon with a Fist of the Beast King from his right fist instead at point-blank range. As Minotarumon collapses to his knees in defeat, Leomon comments that he has more than one fist. As he dies, Minotarumon warns the DigiDestined and Leomon that a new power, a new era of digivolution is approaching and that none of them will be able to overcome what's coming at their current level.
