Centaur
Centaurs are some of the most popular creatures in Greek mythology. Unlike other monsters and fantasy creatures, they have the same reasoning and thinking skills as humans. Centaurs are beasts with human torsos attached to the lower body of a horse.
Their physical form allows them to move very quickly, and gallop just like a stallion. The Centaurs strength is higher than that of humans, as they have more bulk and the legs of a mighty steed. Although they are just a capable as humans in their ability to use tools and weapons, empty handed they can just as easily trample their enemies.
Centaurs are referenced many times throughout Greek mythology, and are included in many fantasy novels and stories. They're even included in many games such as Magic cards and RPG video games. They are truly interesting and mysterious creatures, which is most likely why they are still popular, even today.
