A Centaur is an amalgam creature with the upper torso of a man tapering to the haunches of a horse, six limbs in all. Certain populations of centaurs prefer to stand on two hind legs, and wear robes to obscure their equine torsos. Centaurs were created as a result of a Fae curse- they were not originally humans merged with horses, but rather horses who had their heads and necks transfigured into imitations of the upper bodies of their riders. As a result, the psychology of the centaur has more in common with that of a horse than with that of a man, albeit more intelligent.
There is another type of creature called a Centaur, which resulted from the same curse that turned the heads of horses into the upper torsos of their riders. The riders themselves were cursed, having their heads transformed into the head and haunches of horses, rendered incapable of speech, forced to crawl across the ground. Populations of them still exist, tucked away in strange corners. They possess the minds of men, but the generations have rendered them into reasonless beasts
