Centaur (Homo sagittarius):

Tirek was an atypical Centaur. highly magical and megalomaniacal, he differed from his tribal, nomadic roots.

The Minotaurs are a xenophobic and defensive species that live in the middle continent (Zebrica, Sauria and the Atquian Empire). They are said to hunt in large herds, trampling anything in their paths, though some have supposedly been encountered alone.

though most only posses magic on par with the average unicorn, some learn to absorb the magic of others, and can possess a power on par with alicorns

Magnataur (Homo sagittarius loxodonta):

Native to Zebrica and the Crystal Empire, Magnataurs stand 18-20 feet tall. Little is known about them, but what is clear is that their numbers are few.
Most magnataur never learn to read or write, including many of the shamans, and thus there is little written culture left behind from the rare instances where they have set up small civilizations. Their buildings are simple wooden structures at best, and while a few cave paintings have been found, they create little art. Generally, abandoned weapons, dishes for eating, and simple beds are the most intricate works left behind in their settlements.
Most magnataur live much of their lives alone, and as such, no formal society exists among the majority of them. A small number of tribal groups exist, and in these cases, they are held together by their mutual fear of their shaman leader. In most cases, these small tribal groups end with the assassination of their leader, but a few shamans have been strong enough to hold a tribe together for a number of years. The only system of rank that magnataur understand is dictated by power, and thus, a larger or more combat-worthy magnataur is always considered superior. The race as a whole is not formal enough to have an elite group of warriors, though small groups of powerful shamans do exist; these shamans are considered the leaders of the magnataur as a whole, although they lack any formal institution of this leadership.
Male and female magnataur differ only in that females have a slightly greater obligation to care for their children for a few years after childbirth.

Cephalotaur (Homo sagittarius araneae):

also known as Spider apes or, more jestingly, "Spider-monkeys", Cephalotaur are nomads by nature that roam the forests of the middle continent, they are almost exclusively solitary, though temporary settlements will crop up from time to time, and some individuals settle in villages, working as shamans and healers, as their semi-arachnid nature makes them inherently knowledgeable in venom and poisons.

Despite their appearance, most have a soft and protective temperament, and they will often defend smaller sapient species on the spur of the moment. Due to their body weight, they cannot climb like spiders can, but they can shoot out a web
