Maybe a human front half (including the legs) and horse rear half? It would seriously suck to run with 2 human legs and 2 horse legs.
Can’t miss out on the slightest justification to post this.
seriously, no one has answered “a quarter horse” yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Quarter_Horse
The introduction of those guys cracked me up.
Wait until you read the newest book
What in the mortal kombat knockoff Goro is this thing?
Honestly, Goro is a Mantaur wannabe now
The future is now old man! - Mantaur
1 centaur = 1/2 human + 1/2 horse
1/2 human + 1/2 centaur = 3/4 human + 1/4 horse.
Yay math.
look at trump. hes bascially a frontaur.
It would seriously suck to run with 2 human legs and 2 horse legs.
Yeah I’m imagining rear horse legs, and Everytime you jump forward hard with the rear horsepower you land on your front human legs shattering your ankles and breaking your feet and legs with all that weight behind you. Bummer. Walk slow I guess.
I’m thinking you would have human arms and run upright on two horsey hind legs.
you land on your front human legs shattering your ankles and breaking your feet and legs
I can’t imagine we’ve got more fragile legs than horses
So instead of half human and half horse, it’s 3/4 human 1/4 horse. I’m going with human except the two legs are horse legs.
Isn’t that just a satyr?
With a Satyr, the whole lower half from the waist down is a goat.
Crap, you’re right. That’s what I get for replying based on visual memory and not confirming it first. Thanks.
I think satyrs are goat/humans and centaurs are horse/humans, but that’s probably racist somehow.
satyr are goat human hybrid, or demon/lucifer/angel form.
If c = centaur, h = horse, m = man
c = 0.5h + 0.5m
0.5c + 0.5m = 0.5h + 0.5m + 0.5m = 0.5h + 1m
Normalizing we get (0.5h + 1m)(2/3) = (1/3)h + (2/3)m
The horse aspects are getting more diluted by the extra human genes (or parts). As others have observed I’m also imagining a centaur whose front legs are human, but has a wicked rear horse kick.
0.5c = 0.25m + 0.25h and you don’t need to normalize.
There’s always a normalization step unless two animals go in and two come out. In sexual reproduction it’s meiosis for example. In your example you’re just pre-normalizing. I may still be wrong about the (2/3):(1/3) ratio though.
Edit: If centaurs reproduced sexually with humans though they’d have 50% centaur offspring and 50% fully human. That’s assuming half their diploid chromosome count comes from each species and they can somehow compatibly align. Lulz.
3/4 Horse, 1/4 man.
Or 3/4 man, 1/4 horse.
Instead of the usual 50-50 split.
My wife says I’m 1/4 horse.
Apparently I’m a horse’s ass.
But it isn’t 50/50. It’s a whole horse with half a man where his neck and head should be. So it’s more like 1 1/4 creatures.
Half man, half bear, half pig.
No, clearly it’s half man, half bear-pig!
Body is 1/2, head is the other 1/2. 🤷♂️
The second one, because if a centaur is already half horse and half human, a half-human half-centaur would be 3/4 human and 1/4 horse.
2 human legs but the back ones.
Centaur but on backlegs is also human atop
Only legs. Two human legs on bottom and then two horse legs on top, nothing else. The monstrosity still walks upright.
I’m gonna go with Jesus with hooves
Something like this? I imagine the horse part is the dominant genes
this halfling would have the top of centaur and the buttom of a human
