- Not to be confused with the set or Zane's Mino.
From my analysis, Minos are not naturally aggressive animals.
Minos are a species of land animals that live in the Dungeons of Shintaro. They were used to carry heavy cargo, when the Skull Sorcerer ruled over the Mines of Shintaro, and also as the jurisdictional system of the Geckles.
History
Into the Dark
The Minos were transporting Vengestone when all of a sudden, a Munce fell down, which caused a Mino to go into chaos and break a wheelbarrow. The Skull Sorcerer then arrived and used the Skull of Hazza D'ur to punish the workers for not working.
The Worst Rescue Ever
A Mino approached Cole's cage and appeared hungry, so Cole offered the Mino his Glop. The Mino gladly took it and chomped on the entire bowl.
The Two Blades
When a Re-Awakened abused a Mino, Cole threw his pickax at it to make it stop. Later, after they were locked up, the same Mino licked Cole as a sign of gratitude.
Trial By Mino
When the Geckles put Kai and Zane under a Trial-By-Mino, to confirm that they were not Re-Awakened, Zane achieved to remove the Mino's armor, since after he analyzed the beast, he concluded that they are not aggressive by nature.
The Upply Strike Back!
The Minos were seen working along with the Geckles and Munce who were captured by the Skull Sorcerer again.
The Son of Lilly
Zane and Kai hitched a ride on the former's Mino to escape the Grief Bringer.
The Call of the Deep
Maya told Nya to not breathe like a Mino.
