History[]

The Taurus Minotaur, a character from the 2000 AD strip Sláine, was the first challenge set by Danu that Sláine had to complete to become the High King of Ireland.

Initially thinking the Minotaur itself was the obstacle, Sláine rushed head-first into attack, cutting off one of its horns. However after being split apart by Nest, it was revealed that the true challenge was to clean out the Minotaur's stable, which was covered floor to ceiling in dung. Begrudgingly Sláine accepted and after several hours of dung-shifting the stable was cleared and the first task was completed.
