The Elephantaur is a Minotaur hybrid brute you'll face in God of War: Ascension
Sony Santa Monica has posted a look at the Elephantaur - a Minotaur hybrid - which you will be fighting in God of War: Ascension. Apparently, inspiration for the anthropomorphic elephant originated with God of War III, but the idea was scrapped. Add in the fact that Izzy, its concept artist, was once bullied by an elephant in Thailand, and you have yourself a monster you can hack and slash in order to exact revenge for Izzy. Or just because that's what Kratos would do anyway. Go have a look at the beat on the PS Blog. God of War: Ascension is out in 2013.
