Zoom in

One of the three arbiters helping out Hades by judging the souls of the dead. About 40cm (15.7in) tall, crest/horns excluded.

About this creation

Son of Zeus and husband of Pasiphae, daughter of Helios.

Known in life as King of Crete, and stepfather of the Minotaur...

... he was chosen upon death to be part of the tribunal set by Hades to judge the souls of the dead.

Other members of this tribunal were his half-brothers Rhadamanthus and Aeacus.

He can open up his chest to draw souls and send them to deir doom...

The Kings of crete were known to wear bull's horns on their crown, and perhaps this is what originated the myth of the minotaur.

Top back view. He's almost 48cm (18.9in) tall straight up, horns included.

Minos with Argul, a beastie I made up with scraps for scale comparison.

I chose to make this Black Fantasy bionicle for a contest in the Mythological Bionicle group. Comments are welcome :)

Quoting George Kemper Well what happened to "this is my last Black Fantasy MOC". You just keep makeing them better and better. Ok now on to why it looks amazing. First off you are really useing the Power Miner wheels in your creation and in interesting ways too. I meen you use them for feet and then for shoulders. The staff-thing is good and his head reminds me of a squid. All in all, a really great creation. One more thing, really when are you going to stop making "Black Fantasy" creations LOL.-George

The last time I tried to do something different I had a builder's block... Plus, it seems like they're contagious, since everybody now is doing or planning some :)
