==Description==
==Description==
'''Centaurs''' have the upper torso, arms and head of a human, and the lower body of a horse. These woodland beings are sociable creatures, living in family groups organized into larger tribes. Tribes survive through hunting, foraging, fishing, agriculture, and trade. They tend to shun humans, but often trade with elves for food and wine. Centaurs welcome elves into their areas, sometimes even sharing territory with them. Humans and dwarves receive polite invitations to leave, while halflings and gnomes are usually tolerated.<ref name=CBH24>''Complete Book of Humanoids'' (1999) p24</ref>

They are a strong, proud race, easily offended and impulsive.

Centaurs mate for life, and the males clearly have the dominant role in their society. They are pastoral beings who can be violent when the need arises. They live in harmony with nature and know how to conserve resources.

A centaur has the upper body of a humanoid, and the lower body of a horse. They are usually unclothed, except for a quiver of arrows and, on rare occasions, light armor. Centaur warriors are usually equipped with composite longbows and longswords.
 
They can be found in different climates or geography like dry, arid deserts including the [[Bright Lands]], [[Dry Steppes]], [[Rovers of the Barrens|Barrens]], and [[Plains of the Paynims]]; as well as woodlands like the [[Fellreev]], [[Gnarley Forest]], [[Suss Forest]], and [[Welkwood]].<ref>''[[From the Ashes]]'', reference cards, #8-#11, Encounter Tables</ref>  Centaurs of the [[Dry Steppes]] hold [[Tovag Baragu]] to be holy.<ref>''[[Greyhawk Adventures]]'', p99</ref> Centaurs are also commonly found in [[Celene]], [[Highfolk]], [[Stonefist]], and [[Tenh]].


Centaurs are large creatures, often not quite fitting into spaces designed for humans or demihumans, especially underground settings.<ref name=CBH25>''Complete Book of Humanoids'' (1999) p25</ref>
=== Racial traits ===
A combination of the traits of humans and horses, along with their affinity for wilderness survival, gives the centaur incredible strength, slightly less than twice the strength of an average human and the dexterity of an average [[Elf|elven]] archer. They are also known for their astounding ability to take much punishment, and for their wisdom. They are as fast on land as a horse (usually up to 2000 feet a minute when running), and like [[Dwarf|dwarves]] and [[orc]]s, they have darkvision. In third edition, their favored class is ranger.

== Society ==
Centaurs generally live in tribal hunter-gatherer societies. They have good relations with [[Elf|elves]], as they are both creatures of the forest. Their relations with elves are mutual, mostly trading gold and treasure from the tribe's horde for items in large supply in elven communities (mostly alcohol). Elves are welcome in centaur territory, and typically share land. Centaurs generally despise [[human]]s and dwarves.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} Neutral, jovial creatures such as [[halfling]]s and [[gnome]]s are tolerated in centaur territory when not causing damage.

Greyhawk Creature
Centaur
General information
Alignment:Usually neutral good
Type:Humanoid
Subtype:Monstrous
First appearance:Monsters & Treasure

Centaurs are large monstrous humanoids based upon the centaurs of Greek myth,[1][2][3] which incorporate the upper torso of a human, and the lower body and legs of a horse.

Description

Centaurs have the upper torso, arms and head of a human, and the lower body of a horse. These woodland beings are sociable creatures, living in family groups organized into larger tribes. Tribes survive through hunting, foraging, fishing, agriculture, and trade. They tend to shun humans, but often trade with elves for food and wine.[4] >

They are a strong, proud race, easily offended and impulsive. Centaurs live in balance, They must eat a lot to power their great bodies, and have been known to over-indulge when it comes to wine and ale. Under the influence of alcohol, centaurs display rowdy, boorish, and aggressive behavior.[5]

Typical physical characteristics

A centaur has the upper body of a humanoid, and the lower body of a horse. They are usually unclothed, except for a quiver of arrows and, on rare occasions, light armor. Centaur warriors are usually equipped with composite longbows and longswords.

They can be found in different climates or geography like dry, arid deserts including the Bright Lands, Dry Steppes, Barrens, and Plains of the Paynims; as well as woodlands like the Fellreev, Gnarley Forest, Suss Forest, and Welkwood.[6] Centaurs of the Dry Steppes hold Tovag Baragu to be holy.[7] Centaurs are also commonly found in Celene, Highfolk, Stonefist, and Tenh.

Racial traits

A combination of the traits of humans and horses, along with their affinity for wilderness survival, gives the centaur incredible strength, slightly less than twice the strength of an average human and the dexterity of an average elven archer. They are also known for their astounding ability to take much punishment, and for their wisdom. They are as fast on land as a horse (usually up to 2000 feet a minute when running), and like dwarves and orcs, they have darkvision. In third edition, their favored class is ranger.

Society

Centaurs generally live in tribal hunter-gatherer societies. They have good relations with elves, as they are both creatures of the forest. Their relations with elves are mutual, mostly trading gold and treasure from the tribe's horde for items in large supply in elven communities (mostly alcohol). Elves are welcome in centaur territory, and typically share land. Centaurs generally despise humans and dwarves.[citation needed] Neutral, jovial creatures such as halflings and gnomes are tolerated in centaur territory when not causing damage.

Centaurs mate for life, and the males clearly have the dominant role in their society. They are pastoral beings who can be violent when the need arises. They live in harmony with nature and know how to conserve resources. They keep things in balance, planting a tree for every one they chop down and taking only what the environment can easily give.[4]

There are occasional centaur visitors to the City of Greyhawk, and a centaur might be found there on any day.[8] However, humanoids (but not demihumans) have a confusing relationship in legal matters in the Free City. It's not always clear whether some, like centaurs, fall into the category of "people" or whether some are "monsters". [9]

Religion

Centaurs revere their sylvan god, Skerrit the Forester, the god of Nature and Community. Centaurs are large creatures, often not quite fitting into spaces designed for humans or demihumans, especially underground settings.[5]

Relationships

Centaurs are sometimes allies of humanity. [10]

Centaurs welcome elves into their areas, sometimes even sharing territory with them. Humans and dwarves receive polite invitations to leave, while halflings and gnomes are usually tolerated.[4]
