5 other centaur types coming later on!

Centaurs are a race of folklore mystics with geomancy (earth magic) powers, not to be confuse with beastmen of similar build. From the waist up their bodies are humanoid normally looking the nearest other humanoid race while from the waist down their body is that of an equidae, looking like they have replace the creature neck with their humanoid half, the equidae half normally looks like whatever equidaes live in the area. Centaur Biology Centaur biology is mix of equidae and humanoid biology in a that seems to combine the best of both for the most part. Centaurs have greater stamina then equidae allowing them to run much longer and then durable too, easily being able to do things that would kill a humanoid or equidae, and of course they have the power of a horse in every punch. Also a centauride(female centaur) only has a gestation period about nine months like a human, the males are call centaurus while we on the subject. Now with that said there really isn’t much else to say about centaur biology with the except that some centaurs have equidae ears instead humanoid ears and that centaurs are can’t handier alcohol. For the ixionidae or base centaur anyway, you see centaurs come in five strains and the one we been talking about is the ixionidae the most common strain of centaur. Now before we start on the others it needs to be said that the reasons the different kind of centaurs are call strains is because any centaur parents can have any strain of centaur as a child. Ipotane. Ipotane are the next most common strain of centaur despite not looking like one. While they do have equidae legs and tail, as well ears, they aren’t quadrupeds they are bipeds and often confuse for satyrs. Of course, being smaller does mean they are physically weaker than other centaurs but they are still stronger than humans, however because of their weakness they are often giving the lowest jobs in centaur society. Onocentaur Onocentaurs are a little less common then ipotanes and are almost the same as ixionidaes in every way, but one that is. They have no front legs at all despite having the lower half of a horse, yet this doesn’t seem to affect them much as they move just the same as ixionidaes. However, does make them a little slower and weaker than the ixionidaes which is why they get jobs that requires less physical strength and more intellect in centaur society. Magnesia Mare Magnesia mares are different from other centaurs in many ways, first they are all females, and second they look like equidae made from unworked rock, even their manes look like this! In fact they are so different from the others they are listed as epic mystics because of their magical abilities. Abilities which in centaur society make them seen as holy figures that reach the highest levels of respect in their cultures, and if you were wondering they can speak just fine. Long Live: While other centaurs live about as long as humans, magnesia mares have a life span about 700 years long. Breeding Mare: One of the reasons magnesia mares are so respected in centaur society is because amazing breeding ability. Their gestation period is half as long as that of other centaurides with a much higher odds of having multiple births at once, and on top of that they seem to have no trouble at all with pregnancy or child birth, long term or short term. Because of this once a magnesia mare becomes an adult it is rare to see them not pregnant, as number of adult offspring they have raises their rank in almost other magnesia mares. They rarely raise the offspring themselves normally giving them over to other centaurides, normally the wife of the child’s father. Magnesia mares rarely take husbands instead choosing the sire of their children from any of the herds centaurus that meets their standers, this is seen as a high honor for both the centaurus and their wife, and if they aren’t it is rare that stays the same for long after being pick. Rock Biology: Strangely magnesia mares aren’t organic at all and can’t be affected by anything that can only effect organic beings, but because they are living things they are effected by things that effected living things in general. Rocky Hide: Despite whatever kind of rock they look like they are made of all magnesia mares are as touch as bedrock. Hippocentaur Hippocentaur rarest and strongest of all centaurs, they are mythical mystics. When it comes to looks it isn’t hard to tell them apart for other centaurs as they are almost twice as big as ixionidaes, have set of horns on their heads, always have equidae ears, a mouth full of lion like fangs, retracting claws on their hands, and despite their humanoid halves being no more hairier then a human there facial features are like those of a cercopithecidae. They also come in dark pastel colors. Needless to say, wherever hippocentaurs are found they are the leaders of their herds at least, and if they are centaurus then they alone can breed any magnesia mares the herd has. Manna Drain: Hippocentaur can suck the manna right of any other form of mystic to fuel their own magic. This is very painful to mystics and if use to much can kill them. Long Live: Hippocentaur can live up to 700 years. Manna Armor: Hippocentaur generate a form of force field around their bodies that absorb most damage that is throw them, giving a form of damage reduction. However, it can only absorb so much damage at one time. 12 Horsepower: Hippocentaur have the combine strength and speed of one dozen horses. Centaur Culture Centaurs live in tribal groups that they call herds that are an equalarchy in almost all aspects for the sexes. Strangely however centaurs will never work together in mix sex groups if they can help it, why this is no one can say not even the centaurs. Other parts of their culture largely depend on what kind of neighbors they have. When they have no neighbors, centaurs are largely hunter gathers with very simple agriculture and stone age tools. Centaurs have never advance past this on their own for unknown reasons. But when they have neighbors that are weaker than them centaurs become deadly raiders that attack other societies, carrying off any humanoid or equidae that they find useful or attractive, which is part why centaurs are so diverse. However, if their neighbors prove to be as strong as them then the centaurs become powerful allies, often becoming warriors for hire to the other society. If the society is even stronger than them than the centaurs will join them willingly, often taking jobs where their great strength and geomancy magic comes in handy, like farming or military work.

A personal interpretation of centaurs as a whole (these two are a hippocentaur and a giraffocentaur)
