Genetics and Reproduction

A male and a female member of that species are what conceive new Centaurs. 11 months after the male fertilizes the female, a Centaurs child is born. They stop being able to have kids around their 140 birthday

Growth Rate & Stages

They are mature around the age of 30.

Ecology and Habitats

Centaurs are omnivores and live in Open Fields', grasslands, and plains. Any where they can run and movie around.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Centaurs are omnivores, therefore they require a variety of foods, including meat, fruits, and vegetables. The amount of food required can rival that of a halfling. Due to the size and body type.

Biological Cycle

Centaurs are considered infants between the ages of zero to four, during which time they were completely dependent on their parents for food and care. They gradually pick up mobility and world awareness.

The next stage is kids who learn, play, and grow between the ages of  5 to 10. Although kids are not as dependent on their parents at this point, they are still present to meet the majority of their needs. However, young kids are inquisitive and beginning to understand others and themselves. People have a saying that a young child always hears and retains. My favorite saying from my friends at the bar is “Kids are just little people who become truth drunks”.

Between the ages of 11 to 19, their bodies begin to evolve and develop into adults, which is referred to as the teenage years. Their physical body begins to gain figure, height, weight, and muscles. In most situations, this is also where natural magic develops. In most circumstances, they will also begin to establish their identity and become less reliant on their parents.

From the ages of 20 to 109, they are in their adulthood, their bodies have matured, and they have a good sense of what their natural magic will do. It will continue to develop as they age, but in most cases, it has a set of talents.

From 110 to roughly 175 years of age, they are elders; their bodies have gradually begun to slow down and become weaker, as have their magical talents if they are not kept up with. Other people regard them as wise because they have lived a lengthy life for a Centaurs . This is the Centaurs life cycle.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Centaurs have various sensory systems, and we will identify the five most important ones. First and foremost, they can see up to 2 miles of amazing detail. Because their eyes can only take in so much information, they are not one of the greatest races for traveling at night without a light source. Following that is hearing from 20Hz to 23kHz. With that Centaurs species are in the average range. Centaurs can use their scents of smell very well. It can pick up a million different smells, but it's not as beneficial as other sentient species. Limited in their processing and range. They possessed the sense of touch to help them identify their bodies and things in the world, both good and harmful. This sense tells them what has wounded them or helps them feel at ease. Finally, Centaurs able to taste the five basic categories of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.
