The Minotaur is a mythical creature who appears in the 1997 Disney animated feature film Hercules and its television series. He is a large humanoid bull who resided in an endless maze within the city of Knossos, the capital of Crete.
In the film, Hades sends him, the Griffin, and Stheno to gang up on Hercules, but all three of them were defeated by a punch each from Hercules in less than a few seconds. The Minotaur was at the bottom of the pile when they landed, followed by the Griffin, then Stheno.
In the animated series, Hercules encounters another Minotaur in "Hercules and the Minotaur" and "Hercules and the Grim Avenger". In these appearances, the Minotaur is depicted as a sophisticated yet easily frustrated monster. He comes from Crete and enjoyed causing mayhem and destruction on the island. When Crete's King Minos finally captured him, he requested Daedalus and Icarus to build a large maze to keep the Minotaur imprisoned. However, the insane king only wanted to use the maze for entertainment by throwing innocent people into the maze so they could be hunted by the Minotaur.

In the Hercules video game, the Minotaur serves as somewhat of a mini-boss of the level The Big Olive. He stands at the top of a flight of stairs and throws objects down at Hercules. Hercules must find other objects in the area to throw back at him.
The Minotaur is among the guardian enemies in the Flying Frenzy game along with Stheno and Nessus. They walk around on the bottom and platform clouds and can be defeated from above or the sides.
The Minotaur is mentioned when Hades says, "I haven't seen anyone this lost since Theseus took on the minotaur."
