	This portrayal is pretty consistent, having begun all the way back in [[Mystara]] and remaining throughout most settings. But, this is different in the [[Nentir Vale]] setting; here, they are considered a type of [[fey]] (rather than their traditional monstrous humanoid) and a warlike tribal people who inhabit the steppes, plains and prairies of the [[Feywild]], although they may also be found in the mortal world, particularly in close proximity to elven lands. [[World Axis]] centaurs maintain permanent settlements, and do not suffer trespassers lightly. An emotional and rugged people, they swear allegiance to [[Kord]] and [[Melora]], rather than the gentler and more refined [[Corellon]]; they are renowned for the wild parties they throw to celebrate battles, hunts and births, which are full of boasting, sport and drink, and do not fear death. They have even been known to hire their services out as mercenaries to [[eladrin]], elves or any other race willing to meet their price. They are still dedicated to protecting the unspoiled wilderness, though, and if anything are more assertive about it.

	Centaur are rarely used as Player Character races due to the difficulties of a Centaur performing non-running feats of agility, but those players who do use them find that they are both quite powerful and also have the perk of not having to buy a mount. In fact, centaurs have been playable in most editions of the game, having appeared in: "Tall Tales of the Wee Folk" for Basic D&D; "[[Complete Book Series\|The Complete Book of Humanoids]]" for Advanced D&D; and the [[Monster Manual]] 1, [[~~Races of X\|~~Races of the Wild]], the [[Dragonlance]] campaign setting book, Races of [[Krynn]] and Races of [[Faerun]] splatbooks for 3rd edition. Absent in 4th edition, they made a return in the 2018 May issue of [[Unearthed Arcana]] for 5th edition before being made official in the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica.

The character [[Kragnos]] is a member of the Drogrukh species of massive centauroids, who became a god through sheer bloodymindedness, ultimately making such a nuisance of himself that the forces of Order sealed him away.

There are also normal-sized, still alive Non-Chaos Centaurs amongst the Kurnothi, along with Non-Chaos Fauns.

	The "proto-Hammer" version of Warhammer Fantasy featured Centaurs as a [[Chaos]]-aligned race closely linked to [[Beastmen]] in the [[Realms of Chaos]]: The Lost and the Damned. They were dropped, for some reason, but eventually returned in 6th edition after having been reworked into the [[Centigor]]s, and may be returning in the latest edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay as among the Half-~~Orcs~~ and ~~Hobgoblins~~ in the Eastern Steppes.

	The [[Chaos Dwarves]] ~~has bull centaur~~, the result of a Chaos Dwarf given blessing by their dark god [[Hashut]], the bull Chaos God. They are still Chaos Dwarfs with their usual appearances of big, mean, muscular, curly beard and horns on their head, only that their bottom-half has been replaced by that of a bull's. This transformation replaces the their short leg and thus nullified their slow moving weakness while retaining their trademark endurance, strength and high leadership.		The [[Chaos Dwarves]] have the [[Bull Centaur]], the result of a Chaos Dwarf given a mighty blessing by their dark god [[Hashut]], the bull Chaos God.

This transformation replaces the their short leg and thus nullified their slow moving weakness while retaining their trademark endurance, strength and high leadership.

	If that's not enough then things get bigger with [[Dragon Ogres]], because regular centaur isn't awesome enough. [[Dragon Ogres]] have the upper part of an Ogre and their lower parts are four dragon-like legs. These [[Dragon Ogres]] made a pact with the Chaos Gods that they would serve them, in exchange for immortality (at the cost of having no female Dragon Ogres to fuck, or possibly having females but all being sterile; it's hard to say from the fluff). They are one of the oldest creatures in the Old World, and are supercharged when struck by lightning. The oldest and largest [[Dragon Ogres]] are Shaggoths.
