How rare are they? I've played a fair amount now and am yet to see any.

I'd love to encounter a Minotaur and create my own labyrinth ect but i'd like to know how realistic it would be to repeatedly create worlds to find a labyrinth.

Is there  a value i could change when creating a world with advanced options?

Thanks in advance for any help, you guys are always a newbies godsend

Yes.  There is a value for 'max number of megabeasts.'  Up that, quite a bit.  Also, a shorter world history will leave fewer opportunities for others to have killed off any MB/SMBs the world may have generated.

Thanks WoobMonkey, i'll make sure to alter that value on my next embark!

No prob.  Just don't be disappointed if you still don't see any Minotaurs.  Upping the number of megabeasts won't guarantee any specific sort; it'll just up the odds through sheer force of numbers.

You'll still have to have one wander into your specific part of the world, which is a matter of chance.

From what I recall, megabeasts have a chance to show up once per season, and if one decides to show up, the game will select one randomly. You can get a surface Megabeast (dragon, hydra, bronze colossus, or titan), a subterranean Megabeast (otherwise known as a forgotten beast), or a Semi-megabeast (giant, cyclops, minotaur, or ettin).
