I created this mod together with Coagulate, and we basically took the tiefling model, but changed the color of the tail to match that of their hair color instead of skin color, to give the illusion of a minotaur-like tail. The tiefling tail uses a simple design, so this simple change helps create that illusion. We also give the minos a human's head, and gave them the skincolors of the humans as well as give different colors to the minos their horns. Finally, we adjusted the model size of the minos, as they have the Powerful Build trait, which means that they are close to being Large sized. We did however have to change their traits slightly, due to the video game having some slight alterations from the original Pathfinder 1st edition tabletop game. For those interested, you can find the minos player race for Pathfinder RPG (Pathfinder 1st edition) here in the following link on page 3, which also adds additional lore for them:

Minos player race traits for Wrath of the Righteous:
- Ability Score Increase: Minos are strong, but their bulk makes them a little clumsy. They gain +4 Strength and -2 Dexterity.
- Bullheaded: Minos have horns that deals 1d6 damage.
- Powerful Build: Minos have a powerful build that grants them a +2 bonus to combat maneuver checks and combat maneuver defense, 300 lbs. increased carrying capacity, and increased damage with melee weapons as if they were one size larger than they actually are.
- Gregarious: Minos gain a +2 racial bonus on Persuasion (Diplomacy) checks.
- Empathic: Persuasion is always considered a class skill for Minos.
- Minos Weapon Familiarity: Minos are proficient with greataxes and earth breakers.
Optional Heritages:
- Timid: Some minos are born more timid than others, but are also more gifted in their mental pursuits. They gain a +2 racial bonus to one mental ability score of their choice (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma). This racial trait replaces Gregarious, Bullheaded, and Minos Weapon Familiarity. Timid minos can choose the Bullheaded feat in order to regain the Bullheaded trait and make use of their natural gore attack.
- Small Build: Although it doesn't happen often due to the size difference between minos and other humanoids, some minos have a parent from another race (usually human) and are smaller than ordinary minos, but are also more adaptable. They select one extra feat at 1st level, and gain a +2 racial bonus to Strength. This racial trait replaces Powerful Build and the minos' usual racial ability score modifiers.
The total Race Points (see Pathfinder 1st edition, Creating New Races) of the minos are 15 RP, the same number as that of the aasimar. It's traits make it an ideal front line combatant, but its -2 Dexterity and limitation of its additional damage on melee attacks means that it is less flexible when it comes to character builds. Plus with all the powerful abilities and items that players will come across in their journey, the power difference will quickly become neglectable. That said, the minos are an ideal race for those who wish to play as a "friendly giant" kind of race, with great physical prowess and an even greater heart. The art was drawn for me by my good friend Amaranth, and added here as well as within the mod with her permission.
Required mods (you need these two mods in order to play with this mod):
Recommended mods:
- DarkCodex I recommend going to F10 once you are in the main menu, and left clicking on Dark Codex, and from there on selecting the Heritages and Kitsune Foxfire options under General, which are options that the modder created at my request. This gives you additional options, though you will have to start a new game before those changes can be implemented. However, I strongly recommend picking them if you start a new game.
- Expanded Content Additional content, what's not to love?
- Scaling Cantrips For those who like to have cantrips whose damage slightly scales as you level up, this is the ideal mod!
Additional mods:
- Bubbles Buff This allows you to buff your entire party with the click of a button!
- Weapon Focus Plus This allows you to apply benefits (like Weapon Focus) to a group of weapons (such as Heavy Blades instead of greatswords).
