Unlikely. Since the setting is medieval this kind of "unnatural" mix between human and horse would probably be condemned as horrible mutation. More practically, they have no trouble putting humans on horses to have the same effect, so it would be a bit redundant.
How about undead Centaurs, though? :)
ZZZzzzz....

It is there, just called Orc instead of Satyr.

he means basic orcs in general, i think. orcs are human-demon, so naturally the base orc would be human-horned demon.

well theres undead cyclopses, so y not centaurs. however, i always saw centaurs as more noble things. maybe they could fit in a barbarian town, i guess, but undead is just too far a stretch. what i would like to see is a big old wizard centaur for an Academy-type town. with a long white beard and long white hair and all.. i think that might work

If more women loved centaurs then the poor things wouldn't need to ravage soon to be wed maidens to get a wife.

Rape and Centaurs have a rich and interwoven history... those naughty centaurs always kidnapped lasses instead of doing the proper thing and buying them from their fathers. The only honorable one was Chiron... he did it the civilized way, taking in young nubile god-children and trained them as payment... all with the fathers consent. Also, he taught Hitler how to be a nazi... so it's all on topic.

Wow. 8| It should be named: Ponytailed-Centagasus. That art conception doesn't fit, imho, although it's quite nice. I mean: that's like the human body part would be hanging because of the wings...dunno, it's just too much stuff. :D

I vote for Calygreyhound! :-D

Um, right. Silly me. My weak attempt at satire was obviously not appreciated. I added the smilie too late. :-D :-D :-D
Undead Centaur? What a hoot! :hoo: If there is such a creature, I'll see if I can find a pic.
