Centaurs

Often referred to as the "half-human, half-horse" species, Centaurs are much more than their appearance suggests. They are deeply attuned to the spirit of the world, often described as walking embodiments of motion and intuition. As the largest and fastest of the sentient species, Centaurs live and build in ways that reflect their speed, strength, and connection to nature.

Their societies differ significantly from bipedal ones due to their quadrupedal form, and meeting a group of Centaurs is a great way to experience how body structure influences architecture, tradition, and spirit. They are known for their directness, spirituality, and pride in freedom of movement.ul things

Basic Information

Anatomy

Centaurs are quadrupedal beings with two connected torsos. The upper torso is humanoid—possessing two arms, ten fingers, a round head with circular irises, and rounded ears. The lower torso resembles that of a horse, with four powerful legs, hooves, and a tail. The upper half has standard human-like skin, while the lower half is covered in thin fur.

Genetics and Reproduction

Centaurs reproduce through male-female pairings. After an 11-month gestation period, a foal is born. Centaurs are typically no longer fertile after their 140th year.

Growth Rate & Stages

• 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. Other species should be carful when they are throwing a tantrum their hooves are going to hurt
• 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.

Ecology and Habitats

Centaurs prefer open fields, plains, and grasslands—places where they can run freely. Their homes and settlements are typically spread wide, designed with flowing paths and open communal spaces.

Centaurs are omnivores, requiring a mix of meat, fruits, grains, and vegetables. Due to their size and energy demands, their caloric intake is comparable to that of Halflings—but denser in volume and nutrients. They often graze throughout the day and share meals communally.
