Centaur (SEN-tarr)
Centaur are a race of half-human, half-horse people, and are more proud than any other race. They take no lip from strangers and are quick to anger. Their skill with a bow is rivaled only by the elves. Seeing a centaur is rare, as they distrust all other life and keep hidden in the forest.
