Centaur: Difference between revisions

==History==

The only known centaur was Tirac, the demoniac being and dark planeswalker. Tirac hailed from an unknown region of [[Ponyland]] and ruled [[Midnight Castle]], a kingdom under his complete control, where he used the power of the [[Rainbow of Darkness]] to convert the inhabitants into his minions.<ref>{{CAR|MLP|Rescue at Midnight Castle}}</ref>

Centaurs hailed from the [[Infernal Lands]], a kingdom ruled by [[King Vorak]] and [[Queen Haydon]], a centaur and [[gargoyle]] respectively. Centaurs seemed to speak [[Common Equestrian]], but with their own naming convention that often involved names ending with a "k" (Tirek, Vorak, Sendak). They appeared to be a largely peaceful civilization, with criminals such as Sendak being shunned by most residents.<ref name = "FIE">{{C|FIE|2}}</ref>

The centaurs had contact with [[Equestria]] and knew of {{FIM|Grogar}}<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Beginning of the End}}</ref> and {{IDW|Princess Celestia}}, but their relations were otherwise unclear.<ref name = "FIE"/>

Tirek<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Twilight's Kingdom}}</ref><ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Ending of the End}}</ref> and Sendak<ref name = "FIE"/> had the ability to drain magic from their victims, becoming stronger as a result.

The lower body of a centaur resembles that of a [[horse]] or [[pony]], while the upper half resembles that of a [[human]]. The lower body is gray-furred, while the upper body sports black or dark gray fur and red skin. All Centaurs seen have white hair-including their Horse tails-and growths resembling horns or antlers on the sides of their heads. Centaurs also have black scales and yellow eyes.

==Behind the scenes==

Centaurs were creatures of [[Greece|Greek myth]]. Their appearance in ''My Little Pony'' media is likely a visual reference t the equine ponies, but also contain devilish or "demonic" physical characteristics, such as dark red fur and horns. The first centaur to appear in the franchise was Tirac in "[[Rescue at Midnight Castle]]", and so far, all centaurs in the series have direct connections to him and his [[Tirek's family|family]] in some capacity. Centaurs first appeared in the series hen the series largely drew from [[Mythology from the real world|European mythology]] to develop its initial [[setting]].
