Minaton is a bronze minotaur who appears in the film Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. He is created to serve Queen Zenobia to prevent Sinbad from fulfilling his quest. He is powered by a golden clockwork heart and possesses unfathomable strength. He is ultimately crushed by an enormous block of stone when he removes it from the temple walls.
Uncredited in the movie, the scenes where the Minaton was not stop-motion animated was played by Peter Mayhew, best known as the man who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars franchise. Mr. Mayhew appeared in both Star Wars: A New Hope and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger in the same year, 1977.
