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.
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.
Isn't that just a satyr?
satyr are goat human hybrid, or demon/lucifer/angel form.
I think satyrs are goat/humans and centaurs are horse/humans, but that's probably racist somehow.
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.
