Brothers

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Brotherly Love

The Brothers (Japanese ブラザーズ Burazāzu; French Taurus) are a pair of minotaurs from Final Fantasy VIII named Minotaur and Sacred. They appear in the Tomb of the Unknown King and must be defeated in order to become usable by the party. After their defeat, the player also receives their cards for Triple Triad. The Brothers use an Earth-elemental attack when summoned.

The symbols on their shields means "younger brother" (弟, Sacred) and "older brother" (兄, Minotaur). During dialogue sequences, Sacred speaks only in capitals, while Minotaur speaks only in lower-case letters.

The Brothers themselves appeared earlier in Final Fantasy V, named Minotaur and Sekhmet. However, they were bosses, not summons.
