Centaur
Native to Dominaria and Ravnica. A classic mythological creature that is half horse and half human. Although Ravnica does have half elk half human centaurs with antlers in the Gruul Clan. Also on Otaria of Dominaria there were antelope centaurs. Unlike classic Greek centaurs, Magic: The Gathering centaurs are not lust-mad lurkers nor merciless warriors. Instead, Centaurs are commonly forest keepers and druids sharing roles with Elves and Nantuko and can be found in forests almost everywhere on Dominaria. Like the Greek centaurs, they are extremely fast and strong warriors and wielders of many weapons, especially bows and spears. Notable centaurs include Seton, a Krosan who distinguished himself as a champion at the gladiatorial fights on the Cabal pits, and Stonebrow, another Krosan who fought for Kamahl before joining Akroma's cult. On Ravnica, the centaurs share a strong connection with nature and most are drawn to the Gruul Clans and the Selesnya Conclave.

Famous quotes containing the word centaur:
“The ant’s a centaur in his dragon world.
Pull down thy vanity, it is not man
Made courage, or made order, or made grace.
Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
