Centaurs are half human, half horse people. They are not very numerous in Felarya but they are concentrated in some places such as the great rocky fields. Several species exist but most of them are giants and have a size of somewhere between 90 and 130 feet
Felaryan centaurs are fearsome creatures. They are voracious and often attack caravans of travelers. Their speed usually makes any escape impossible: they easily outrun most vehicles and they can feel the faintest vibrations of the ground, allowing them to locate prey miles away. Some of them master a powerful shamanic magic but they are rare.
Centaurs have tremendous strength in their legs, but they are not very agile. The sight of a centaur galloping at full speed is something you never forget.
Contrary to other hybrid creatures, centaurs have their stomachs in their animal parts. This means it's huge! It would take dozens of humans to fill it, though centaurs don't eat just humans. They hunt every type of creature small enough to be swallowed. During digestion, a centaur will fall completely asleep, usually for a whole day.
Zebra Centaurs
This particular race of centaurs is more refined than their primitive counterparts. They sometimes wear clothing and are generally more agile and proficient with ranged weapons. They are smaller, between 80 and 100 feet.
The main particularity of zebra centaurs is their double personality. During the day they are pleasant creatures, rather friendly to humans - though that doesn't mean they won't gobble one up from time to time - and they sometimes follow caravans for a while just for the sake of chatting and exchanging news.
However, when the sun sets their eyes begin to glow red and a aura of fear surrounds them. The nonchalant centaur then turns into a fearsome and hungry predator.
