The minotaur king is the fourth tier upgraded creature of the Warlock faction in Heroes of Might and Magic II, recruited by upgrading a maze in a Warlock town. The minotaur king has improved hit points and severely improved speed when compared to its base version, the minotaur. As such, its utility in combat is greatly improved, allowing it to close to melee more easily than its predecessor. Its power and defense remain unchanged from the minotaur.
