Centaurs Part 2 "Breeds"

There are many types of Centaurs and really the main differences all come down their feet.
Or as we humans call them Hooves.

There's either feather footed stronger centaurs, more commonly linked to draft or war horses. These Centaurs are more equipped for carrying loads in wagons behind them, or fending off the enemy.
The large muscled giants are formidable and always seem intimidating, usually their hearts are in the right places. The largest are usually linked to war either blacksmiths or warriors or medics. Their upper bodies are far more varied than their lower definitive halves. Natural muscle resides, and more that has been trained after that.

Or there are more fleet footed centaurs. These are the ones that are with less obligation to the wellfare of the clans and a little more solitary. Many moons ago they lived in more happy heards, but after their numbers started dropping more and more began living in the forests and becoming the safeguards, or caretakers, of the woods. They are usually faster and more lithe than the feather footed giants.

Most of the fleet-footers are able to have strong connections with the dryads and other creatures that live on a more spiritual level.

The elder clans are normally slimmer footed forest dwelling creatures. Their skin and fur usually pale, as if bleached by the sun. Nobody really knows where they live, they just seem to be.

Some centaurs are a mix of both as cross breeding appears, but they usually pick one trait and stick to it as they grow up. The stockier they are naturally the more hardy their pursuits.
