[[Centaurs]] are a specific kind of [[Half-Human Hybrid]] originating in mythology, possessing the upper body (head, torso and arms) of a man and the lower body of a horse (though other animals are common). In the original myths they tend to be a [[Exclusively Evil|savage and brutal species]]: most Greek depictions show them living only to drink and... kidnap<ref>read "rape"</ref> [[Mars Needs Women|women]], or to attack travelers with their arrows. One possible [[Doing In the Wizard|explanation]] for the original myth is of a non-horse-using culture seeing [[Born in the Saddle|horse riders]] for the first time and misinterpreting what they saw (See [[Real Life]] below).
