film1=:Shane Rangi General Otmin is a
minotaur in the 2005 movie '. Otmin does not appear in the book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe " as a named character, though there are several minotaurs mentioned in passing. He is the generalcommander of theWhite Witch 's army in theFirst Battle of Beruna . He was portrayed byShane Rangi , who also portrayed Asterius, another minotaur, in '.When
Aslan is walking to the Stone Table, Otmin knocks him over with his axe. In the initial charge at the battle, Otmin kills many centaurs with a double-bladed axe. On his back, there is a Chinese "dadao " sword with which he kills a number of centaurs. Otmin is the parallel of another character invented specifically for the movie,Oreius thecentaur , commander ofAslan 's army. Oreius fights Otmin just before he faces (and is turned to stone by) theWhite Witch : Otmin tries to pull himself onto Oreius' back, but Oreius hits him in the head and stabs him through the chest. He tumbles onto the ground; his armour is so heavy a small cloud of dust rises from the earth.In the film Otmin speaks twice, once to the
White Witch about battle strategies and another time to the dwarves on the battlefield, yelling "Look to the sky!" when a large group of gryphons from Aslan's army prepares to drop rocks from overhead.On the 2-disc DVD edition, a featurette shows a scene not included in the film (or the extended version) in which a wolf arrives at the White Witch's camp, presumably announcing the death of Maugrim, the captain of the Secret Police. The only dialogue is from Otmin: "You've seen Aslan? What does he look like?"
