"name": "Goring Rush" - "desc": "Whenever the minotaur starts its turn with half its [Hit Points](../../../Compendium/rules/variant-rules/hit-points-xphb) or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the raider goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the minotaur attacks the nearest non-minotaur creature it can see. If no non-minotaur creature is near enough to move to and attack, the minotaur attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the minotaur goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its [Hit Points](../../../Compendium/rules/variant-rules/hit-points-xphb).A creature within 60 feet of the berserk minotaur can try to calm it by speaking firmly and persuasively. The minotaur must be able to hear that creature, who must take an action to make a DC 20 Charisma (Persuasion) check. If the check succeeds, the minotaur ceases being berserk. If it takes damage while still at half [Hit Points](../../../Compendium/rules/variant-rules/hit-points-xphb) or fewer, the minotaur might go berserk again."

If the minotaur eats, each hostile creature that can see it must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be [frightened](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#frightened) of the minotaur until the end of the minotaur's next turn. If a hungry minotaur does not eat after a kill, it gets a +1 bonus to damage rolls until it eats."
