Zombie Minotaur

Source Pathfinder Unchained pg. 245
Some templates have complicated alterations, but the zombie template is fairly easy to apply.
Array: The zombie uses the combatant array, as suggested in the zombie template.
Creature Type: The undead graft gives the creature darkvision 60 feet and undead immunities, and sets its Constitution to —. It also increases the minotaur’s Will +save from +1 to +3. The elective adjustments for mindless undead will be covered by the template graft.
Template: The zombie template makes the minotaur staggered, changes its Intelligence to —, gives it DR 5/ slashing, and gives it the extra hit points option to represent a zombie’s resilience.
Size: As a Large creature, the minotaur changes its touch AC from 12 to 11 and its flat-footed AC from 12 to 13. Its CMB increases from +2 to +4, and its CMD goes from 14 to 15.
Options: The extra hit points option from the zombie template increases the zombie’s hp from 16 to 19. Although the zombie template adds more options than the monster would normally have, the zombie still gains the powerful charge option to keep the minotaur feel.
