 *Centaurs are hybrids, half-horse and half-man:
 **'''[[Deformed]]''': Centaurs only gain half the base AC from [[body armour]].
 **Centaurs can equip [[centaur barding]]s, but not [[boots]].
 **Centaurs are large enough to attack normally while standing in [[shallow water]] (though they still move slowly through it).

-Due to having high [[HP]] and fast [[move speed]], Centaurs are a very forging species. Speed allows Centuars to [[kite]] most targets, disengage from many bad fights, reposition favorably, and avoid being surrounded. High HP, especially when compared to the other fast species ([[Spriggan]]s and [[Felid]]s), means that you're less likely to die from [[orc priest]]s and the like. They have an amazing [[Bows (skill)|Bows]] aptitude, but any sort of ranged attack can work well too.

 Centaurs are not without their problems (poor defensive aptitudes, low stealth, [[Deformed]] mutation), but the benefits far outweigh the cons. The innate +3 AC from [[Tough Skin]] counteracts Deformed; Centaurs only get a net AC loss when wearing heavier armours. Plus, they can wear [[centaur barding]]s, which give more AC than boots - assuming you find one.

 They are considered "Intermediate" because it's considered difficult for a completely new player to understand ''Crawl'''s [[action|speed system]] (and take advantage of kiting) from scratch. It's not because they are weak; Centaurs are one of the strongest species overall, arguably easier than "Simple" species like [[Draconian]] and [[Ghoul]].
