Lair Actions

On Initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Ancient Minotaur can cause one of the following effects; the minotaur can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• The Minotaur stomps on the ground, causing a temporary earthquake within 60 feet of it. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity Saving Throw or fall Prone.

• The Minotaur roars, inspiring unnatural fear in its enemies. Each creature that can hear the Minotaur must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom Saving Throw or be Frightened of it until Initiative count 20 on the next round.

• The Minotaur calls on its demonic heritage, summoning 7 Dretches in random areas within 30 feet of it. Roll Initiative for the group of Dretches. On the group's turn, they each attack the nearest creature that is hostile to the Minotaur. On Initiative count 20 of the next round, these Dretches disappear.

An Ancient Minotaur's lair is often not unlike that of a younger Minotaur, except that the amount of trophies which it has taken from its enemies is multiplied tenfold. Often, these creatures are found in the centers of immense labyrinths and dungeons where they have thrived for centuries.
