Race Profile


Name: Centaurs

Physical Description: The centaur is a magnificent creature. Its head, arms, and chest are those of a human and the rest of its body, including four legs, hindquarters, and a tail is like that of a horse most traditionally. The human portion is joined at the waist to the horse's shoulders where the head and neck would be. Though there are also deer-centaurs, fawn-centaurs, feline-centaurs…some have wings. There are also bull, donkey, sheep and even goat centaurs.

Those centaurs that have wings…only have wings attached to the animal part of them. This is due to that they would not be able to fly as efficiently if they were attached to the human part of them.

Feline-centaurs are those centaurs that the lower half, instead of being of a horse, is much like that of a large cat…paws, four legs, hindquarters, and tail. Some have markings like a tiger, or a lion, leopard, or other cat. Any feline you have seen in the human world has been seen in Aersralm attached to a feline centaur.

Natural Abilities: Strength, speed, some have the ability of flight (if they have wings). The Centaur's biggest strengths are speed and a powerful ranged attack. Many learn how to wield a bow and an arrow at a young age. They are generally not trained in magic but more in the art of war.

Strengths: The Centaur's biggest strengths are speed and a powerful ranged attack. Resilient and courageous.

Weaknesses: Armor is hard to wear and often their animal part is highly exposed to danger. They have a weakness for drink…otherwise known as alcohol. The race as a whole is known for their love of the drink.

Habitat: Centaurs can be found anywhere in Aersralm. Though most reside in cities of commerce, like Manwe. Others find they like it more in the forests. Centaurs are a nomadic race and have the tendency to travel rather than stay in one place.

Lifespan: All Centaurs are immortal but can be killed by decapitation, spinal damage, deep wounds, ect. Their healing is the same as a mortal’s.

Languages: They speak the native tongue of Aersralm.

Religion: (N/A as of now…perhaps I’ll add something later. If you have any ideas…submit them to me via PM)

Societal Structure: Such attributes as courage, strength, beauty and activity are encouraged in Centaur society. Many are taught the art of war…few learn the way of magic.
