>>48238083I think the problem with the pokemon centaur is that most only literally draw a centaur and a great part of the grace of pokemon is that they take many elements and synthesize them in a harmonious and simple way.
My idea for a centaur would be an optical illusion (As the true myth was born) in this case take a long-necked ungulate and give it patterns of humanoid torso on its neck, like fur that resembles a breastplate, give it long ears that move like arms (Like Milotoc, Froslass or Diggersby)
This is how you create the lie within the lie, from afar it looks like a centaur, but close up and analyzing it you see that it is just a creature that adapted to that form, something similar to Primarina.

The myth persisted even after the introduction of the horse to Europe.
