Centaur

Centaurs are beings that tend to be half human, half animal. There are many different subspecies of centaurs, the list of which can be found here.

Appearance
Centaurs basically have the upper body of a human, and the lower body of an animal, with the waist of the human body being joined to the part of the animal body where the head would be. Also, the human body also has a few features to the specific animal.

Behavior
Centaurs tend to like to live in tribes in the wild, similar to bug people. Centaurs tend to have tendencies like their animal counterparts, but also tend towards a very human way of thinking. Most centaurs tend to shun the modern world and live in nature, and as such, tend to be a bit wary around outsiders, but if one makes friends with centaurs, then that person will be viewed as an honorary member of their tribe.

Powers
Most centaur powers depend on the subspecies, but they do have a few powers in common.
 * Space compacting: Centaurs, when they run/hop/scuttle, etc., can bend space, compacting it so that one step can take them several miles.
 * Acidic blood: Centaur blood is corrosive like acid, but in small doses will only cause one to break out in horrible hives.
 * Stargazing: Centaurs are well known astrologists, being able to tell the future, the time, the date, etc, just from looking at the night sky.
 * Healing: Centaurs are also well known herbalists, being able to find the best herbs and plants to heal a variety of mundane and magical diseases.
 * Enhanced archery: Centaurs are extremely proficient in archery, enough to rival both wood elves and cupids.
 * Animal communication: Centaurs are able to communicate with their animal counterparts.
