"one wishes there'd been less fluff about centaurs"
Speak for yourself! CENTAUR SPINOFF
Speak for yourself! CENTAUR SPINOFF
Fun fact, the bloke who ran Hull University Science Club (now sadly deceased) once got roped into the interactive Xena & Hercules thing at Universal Studios as a centaur. Despite the bluescreen on-the-spot being spliced into the pre-prepared film, he still looked more convincing than the all-CGI centaur in the first Harry Potter film.

That was a Centaur? I thought it was Ax from Animorphs!Fun fact, the bloke who ran Hull University Science Club (now sadly deceased) once got roped into the interactive Xena & Hercules thing at Universal Studios as a centaur.

He was blue!
I'm beginning to think that 'not reading the Animorphs books in my school library' is my second biggest secondary school regret after 'being conned into taking Geography GCSE and then getting bait-and-switched because they replaced the good teacher with a crap one'.That was a Centaur?

I know it more from the television adaptation than the books, though the covers were always enticing just not enticing as those of Goosebumps (stay tuned for the next article in my horror series!)I'm beginning to think that 'not reading the Animorphs books in my school library' is my second biggest secondary school regret after 'being conned into taking Geography GCSE and then getting bait-and-switched because they replaced the good teacher with a crap one'.

The one thing I have always wondered with centaurs is how two sets of lungs and two stomachs work. It would be tricky for a centaur to eat grass so I assume they eat human food. To overcome the practical challenges, I assumed centaurs were portrayed wrongly and in fact had a horse's neck and just a human head on the end of it; arms would emerge at the shoulders for the horse's front legs, a bit like claws on arachnids. Probably overthought this!
I assumed centaurs could eat grass and traumatised a D&D group by doing so on a regular basis

I've seen one Narnia fic writer go for the approach of 'hay with steaks' because both the horse bits and the human bits need different types of sustenance.
I don't think that was a fanfic writer, I remember Lewis talking about that in the text itself.I've seen one Narnia fic writer go for the approach of 'hay with steaks' because both the horse bits and the human bits need different types of sustenance.
