Centaur (Centaurus, Ixionidae, Sagittary, Kentaure, Kentauros): In Greek mythology, these creatures are described as having the body and hind quarters of a horse but the head and torso of a man. They were also said to inhabit the mountains at Erymanthus in Thessaly or the countryside of Cylon. For the most part the Centaurs were kind, hospitable, sporting, generous and wise. However, they had some faults that proved their downfall on many an occasion, such as being bawdy and quick to fight, and having no tolerance for alcohol, which made them aggressively drunk.
