Centaur

Basic Information

Anatomy

Centaurs have the upper bodies, down to the waist, of muscular humans, displaying all the human variety of skin tones and features. Their ears are slightly pointed, but their faces are widee and squarer than those of elves. Below the waist, they have the bodies of small horses, with a similar range of coloration- from various shades of chestnut or bay to dappled or even zebra-like striped patterns. Most centaurs style their hair and their tails in a similar manner. Some centaurs favor long, flowing hair. Other centaurs cut their hair in rough spiky styles.
The upper bodies of centaurs are comparable to human torsos in size, and their lower equine bodies average about 4 feet tall at the withers. Though they are smaller than a human rider mounted on a horse, they fill similar roles as cavalry warriors, messengers, outriders, and scouts.

Affinity For Nature
Centaurs have an affinity for the natural world. Centaurs celebrate life and growth, and the birth of a foal is always cause for festivities. At the same time, they revere the traditions of the past, preserving old ways and keeping alive the legends of ancestral heroes. They feel a close kinship with wild animals, perhaps because of their horselike bodies, and delight to the feeling of running alongside herds and packs of other beasts.

Naming Traditions

Centaurs' given names are passed down through family lines. The name bestowed on a new foal is typically the name of the most recently deceased family member of the same gender, keeping alive the memory and, the centaurs believe, some shard of the spirit of the departed. Centaurs don't use family names, but they wear symbols that re present their family members hip. These symbols might include graphical representations of plants or animals, printed mottoes, braids, and beads worn in the hair and tail ,or even specific patterns of woven fabric.
