Centaurs

A Centaur is a magical creature whose head, torso and arms appear to be human and are joined to a horse's body, and they are a part of the overall species called Cenarius's Children. They are, however, their own species, and are not any kind of half-breed. Despite possessing 'human intelligence', centaurs are classified as Beasts by many commoners who meet them, and it is usually shocking when they speak and show their high intelligence. Like horses, centaurs can come in a variety of colours, ranging from deep black to white, and this color trait is shared in the Keepers of the Grove. The Centaurs are the children of the Titan Cenarius, and as their overall namesake goes they are amongst a larger group of races created by Cenarius in his image.

Amongst the Centaur there is a distinct split in the race in the form of the Centaur, and the Keepers of the Grove. The Centaurs themselves are the normal version of a Centaur of which is the horse and human look, while the other section the Keepers of the Grove share a Stags lower body, and an elven upper body. What distinction occured that made this shift is unknown but a Keeper of the Grove is rarely birthed and when it is it usually always becomes a leader amongst the Centaur.

Centaurs are known to be gifted in divining. Indeed, the centaurs of the Forbidden Forest regularly made vague allusions to seeing the future, as when the centaur Firenze told Aragorn Elessar that they were fated to meet again, and when he and Shellian spoke of the "intermission" of sorts, between the Gondor Civil War, and the Relief of Gondor.
