Their faces have a slightly equine shape and they have pointed, rotatable ears. They wear loose, airy clothing which covers their bodies almost entirely, well suited to their sun-baked desert homelands.

The god of centaurs is known as Skerrit the Forester. He is a Neutral deity with Chaotic Good tendencies. His symbol is an oak growing from an acorn. Skerrit is also worshipped by satyrs and sylvan elves who are neutral in alignment.
