Centaur

In the Greek mythology a centaur is a half-man (from the torso and up) and half-horse (from the waist and down).

Original
Centaurus, son of Ixion and Nephele (the cloud made in the image of Hera), was the father of the race known as centaurs.

Physiology and Nature
Centaurs are human or elf from torso and up; and hourse or unicorn from waist and down. The horse/unicorn part come in all the colours standard to horses: Roan, black, grey ect. The human/elf part is usually tan and sometimes the hair matches the colour of their horse/unicorn part. Females are usually smaller than males. Male centaurs have a mane (of hair) beginning on their head and continues down the spine.

They are properly 6'6 - 7'6 feet high and weight about 1300lbs. Their eyes have nightvision up to 30 meters. It is not unusual for cantaurs to be 400 years.

Centaurs have a high regard for honour and they live in a very inviolate world.

Goverment
The Centuars live in Tribes and their "goverment" in the tribes are more like councils of the elderes and the Leader of the Tribe. There is mostly only males in the councils. But females have their own hierarchy with the eldest wife as the highest ranged.

Centaurs and humans are very important allies.
