		In his youth, Gungir the frost giant dallied with a white dragon that had taken the form of a frost giant.
		The product of their union was a bizarre half-dragon centauroid creature, with the torso of a frost giant attached to the wingless body of a white dragon.
		Unsure of whether his son’s birth represented a promising omen or a curse from the gods, Gungir kept the creature locked away, eventually bringing it to this place and trapping it within the chamber it lives in today.

		And the centauroid frame would also excuse the 'twice as big as a chagrin' comment, as the body for the extra pair of legs would add on a substantial bit of mass, while still allowing the basic physical strength of the Kelpie model to fall beneath that of the Chagrin.
		Although, bearing this in mind, I'd perhaps be tempted to slightly 'slim down' the proportions from those depicted in that image, perhaps giving greater weight to the rear portion, and lightening the torso.
		posted on 7-9-2004 at 11:57 AM I figured that while a centauroid model would be faster at engaging enemies, be able to generate more power in the charge, and be more capable of defending from different angles, the Kelpie would have been shelved because of simple motor difficulties (i.e.

		Larvox aimed his ring-wielding flagellum at the half-man/half-reptile centauroid and a honeycombed wall of emerald energy swept across the restaurant, forcing the Duality into the far wall.
		The centauroid Duality lumbered through the doorway and its human half raised its pistol, squeezing off rounds at Larvox.
		The reptilian centauroid’s tail thrashed as Voz whipped its back, and soon Voz was knocked off as the tail connected full force with his furry body.

		I don't like the idea of a centauroid species.
		I used the word centauroid primarily to indicate that it had four "feet" and two "hands" - not that they were particularly horse-like in configuration.
		I had imagined the 2 front limbs to not be walking capable in much the same way that our front-limbs are not walking capable - dedicated manipulators.

		Physique : Zoats are centauroid in basic appearance, although they look more reptilian to outsiders.
		Their legs are short and cylinder-shaped, rather like an rhino's, on which they move with surprising speed.

		The Rrangoon are blue-furred centauroid hermaphroditic burrowing marsupial-analogue aliens, with some other strangeness.
		The first 'proto-Rrangoon' was one form of a shapeshifting role-playing character I played, around '93 or 4 or so (long before the 'Animorphs' came out with their own blue-furred centauroid aliens).

		Species: Aera Physical Characteristics: The Aera are a centauroid species measuring 2-3 meters in length from the head to the end of the balancing tail, and 1 - 1.25 meters high at the four leg- shoulders.
		The four stocky, sturdy running/gripping limbs provide support, and the front two limbs end in three-digit hands, with two fingers and an opposable thumb.
		Thus, the Aera burst forth from their home, not afraid, but determined that nothing would stand between them and their indefinite existence.

	Brightness Reef Review
		That is the strength of this novel: Brin sets up a complex society of (at least) 6 mutually alien races.
		The races themselves are interesting physically: the Centauroid Urs, the Hoon, the composite-personalitied Traeki, the wheeled G`Kek, and the vaguely crustacean Qheuens, as well as humans.
		He works hard to make the aliens convincing both physically and psychologically: quite successfully in the first case, but less so (of course) in the second case, although at least the Traeki are fairly well depicted in that regard.

	Book Review: Edward M. Lerner's Moonstruck
		Ed Lerner is a warped man. This book starts out as what seems to be a standard first contact novel.
		A two mile wide spaceship appears and orbits the moon, and centauroid aliens called the F'thk land in Washington D.C. and tell everyone that the Earth has the potential of joining a Galactic Commonwealth.
		They are friendly, they have gifts for everyone (although not terribly useful gifts, the little balls are attractive) but when asked about sharing their technology, their answer is "Information is a trade good".

		There were hundreds of others with a vast variety of different centauroid bodies, but they never let us forget who the real centaurs were.

		I still wonder if there is some unique centauroid term to express my burro-hood.

		The Imperium declared them Xenos horribilis once their true nature was known and destroyed the last vessel after a 50 year war.
		Hopefully when I read the dex with my own eyes I'll be able to find loopholes allowing me to create fluff of my own explaining why there are a few of them still scattered around the galaxy.
		I'd like to convert my own considering the old ones are now almost impossible to get ahold of, but I'd like for them to be centauroid like their description with a few more nid like features as the originals just looked like dragon ogres with guns and gas masks.

		In the end, it turned out to be a perfectly normal bovine centauroid boy with same mix of genders as his parents.
		As more of the transformed workers families made the same decision, the evidence showed that the mixes were most often cow-male and bull-female, although a smaller number were cow-female and bull-male.
		The latest estimates showed that there were probably more than a million bovine centauroids world-wide, 99% of them working in the dairy industry at the time of the EVENT.
