Centaurs (and other *taur types. Looking at you, furries) are overall an incredibly dumb design.
The more you think about them, the more they just don't work. I went from meh, to dislike, to hate for centaurs over the years.
Wait till you get into the math of .
Don't even get me started on Sphinxes and Manticores.
That is why I like unicorns. when they fly, nobody starts calculating. Everybody just accepts the magic
I'm a sci-fi guy. I can accept that whatever force is causing the unicorn to fly is one that I haven't measured or studied yet.
Any sufficiently understood magic is indistinguishable from science.
Several fantasies just give em required secondary powers. Griffins use wind magic. Dragons use some form of antigravity or flight magic.
Iirc in Stormlight, the ... gigafauna?(Googles and finds it has been cooked for how I want to use it...huh) have gems in them that allows em to sorta reduce gravity in order for them to be able to survive at such a size (the planet also has lower gravity than earth,at 0.7G)
Sure sure sure. But if we're running back to the "shut up, it's magic" premise, centaurs (and mermaids and owlbears) don't seem so weird, either
That's why I like my winged mythical creatures with really big wings.
Sphinxes are bad, but still not as bad as centaurs, as Sphinxes don't have an entire additional body attached to their body.
For the pegasus, are they factoring in possibilities like having hollow bones like birds do to reduce weight? Granted, that would severely hamper their abilities to be a horse, but maybe they're not supposed to be beasts of burden?
