[[The ZAP Brigade]]
The Zap Brigade is a group of people who hunt minotaurs, armed with mage staves of lightning. They will rarely appear just before the minotaur shows up, and relentlessly hunt it down, and can also appear in groups when using a +2 scroll of summoning. Their staffs can be picked up when they die, and the can be recruited by players with a high enough leadership skill.
----
* HunterOfMonsters: They specialize in hunting down minotaurs.
* MeleeATrois: If you're playing as a monster race that is unfriendly to humans, the arrival of the ZAP brigade can be a double-edged sword. Best-case scenario, they'll kill the minotaur while being weakened enough by the fight that you can easily pick off the survivors and loot the corpses, or at least keep each other busy long enough for you to make an exit. Worst-case scenario, you now have to deal with both the Minotaur ''and'' a group of up to 9 dangerous, magic-wielding enemies all trying to kill you at once.
* ShockAndAwe: They all wield staves of lightning, which is the greatest weakness of the minotaur.
