Furiataurus is a mighty and fiery bull-like demon and a boss from Devil May Cry 2.

This creature wields a massive hammer, and its body is made of hardened lava and flame in the shape of a minotaur, as it is still haunted by the death, agony, and resentment of the damned.

Appearance

Furiataurus is a huge fire demon shaped like a minotaur with a body composed of hardened lava and flames.

History

Furiataurus was a demon that Arius summoned after Dante arrived at his helipad of an off-shore oil rig to try to stop him before the evil industrial tycoon got away on his company-owned chopper on his way back to Uroboros City in Dumary Island. Despite its brute strength and fire powers, it was destroyed by the Son of Sparda, extinguishing the hellfire all over its body, cooling it down to the point hit became a motionless statue.

Later when Dante headed into the Demon World to face Argosax the Chaos, Furiataurus appeared as part of the demon lord's blob form.

Powers and Abilities

Furiataurus wields a massive hammer and, as would be expected, fights with hellfire based attacks. Furiataurus can also use his Hammer to create a small vaccuum of air, to bring Dante close.

Trivia

• Furiataurus seems to be based off a more classic interpretation of a demon, with hooved feet, bull horns, and a humanoid build.
• The inspiration for the design was based on woodcuts of the brazen bull - an alleged torture, or execution device, it was an bronze oven in the shape of a bull. The victim would be placed inside the oven, and slowly roasted alive as the metal began to heat up.
• Furiataurus is also likely inspired by the Minotaurs of Greek mythology.
  • The Minotaur of Greek myths, whom Furiataurus is based on, is also featured in The Divine Comedy, where it is seen in the Seventh Circle of Hell: Violence. The Minotaur is shown amongst those who were doomed for their violent ways in life.
• Furiatuarus' name is based on two words: "Fury" (Anger/Fire), and "Taurus" (Bull-like animal). His name is also translated from Latin dialect as "Fury of the Bull".
• The Furiataurus was first added to the 2019 free-to-play card moblie videogame TEPPEN via its "The Force Seekers" expansion. It is featured in one red unit card.
