The Tartar Sauce is a pet-summoning item that spawns a Mini Minotaur to follow the player around. When the player is far enough away or in midair, the Mini Minotaur will fly by twirling a hammer in order to catch up to them. The Mini Minotaur's yellow eyes glow in the dark, but it produces no other light. The Tartar Sauce has a 6/125 (4.8%) of being dropped from Iron and Mythril Crates(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).
Trivia
- The Tartar Sauce is a reference to the Mini Minotaur song by YouTuber Tobuscus.[1] In the song, it is said that mini minotaurs hate tartar sauce and are allergic to it. The buff tooltip, "How do you defeat a mini Minotaur?", is also a direct quote from the song.
- The Mini Minotaur's appearance, the red loincloth, and the hammer are probably a reference to the Maulotaur from the 1994 dark fantasy first-person shooter video game Heretic and its sequel Hexen, where the Maulotaur can be summoned by the player to aid them in combat.
- In the Nintendo version, the buff name is displayed as "BUFFNAME (136)" instead of "Mini Minotaur". Similarly, the buff tooltip is displayed as "BUFFNAME (136)".
- In Greek mythology, the Minotaur is a mythical creature with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man. He dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
- In Greek mythology, Tartarus was a deep abyss used as a dungeon for administering divine punishment to the wicked and as a place from where souls were forever judged. While the tartar in both names may be a coincidence, it could be a reference.
