Centaurs

The centaurs of Greek mythology are creatures that are part human and part horse. They are usually portrayed with the torso and head of a human, and the body of a horse. Centaurs are the followers of the wine god Dionysus and are well known for drunkenness and carrying off helpless young maidens.
There are also deer-centaurs, dog-centaurs, and the Gaelic androcephalous or man-headed horse. Both Greeks and Etruscans sometimes painted a centaur-like animal with the entire body of a human rather awkwardly attached in various ways to the lower or back parts of a horse.

The father of Centaurs was Centaurus, who was held in disrepute by both men and gods. Some accounts claim that he was the son of Apollo and Stilbe but, the more interesting accounts say he was fathered by Ixion. He gave birth to the race of Centaurs by mating with Magnesian mares.

Centaurs can live up to 300 years. There are two types of centaurs, civilized and uncivilized. Both centaurs look the same the only difference is how they choose to live. According to myths Centaurs lived in the mountains of northern Greece and in other stories they lived in the forest. Because Centaurs had two stomachs they ate human food and horse food. The uncivilized centaurs would probably attack anything that came into their territory. The civilized centaurs were peaceful smart being that would probably only attack if they felt threatened.
