What in the mortal kombat knockoff Goro is this thing?
Honestly, Goro is a Mantaur wannabe now
The future is now old man! - Mantaur
The introduction of those guys cracked me up.
Wait until you read the newest book
seriously, no one has answered "a quarter horse" yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Quarter_Horse
It would seriously suck to run with 2 human legs and 2 horse legs.
Yeah I'm imagining rear horse legs, and Everytime you jump forward hard with the rear horsepower you land on your front human legs shattering your ankles and breaking your feet and legs with all that weight behind you. Bummer. Walk slow I guess.
I'm thinking you would have human arms and run upright on two horsey hind legs.
1 centaur = 1/2 human + 1/2 horse
1/2 human + 1/2 centaur = 3/4 human + 1/4 horse.
Yay math.
look at trump. hes bascially a frontaur.
2 human legs but the back ones.
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?
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.
I think satyrs are goat/humans and centaurs are horse/humans, but that's probably racist somehow.
satyr are goat human hybrid, or demon/lucifer/angel form.
Only legs. Two human legs on bottom and then two horse legs on top, nothing else. The monstrosity still walks upright.
3/4 Horse, 1/4 man.
Or 3/4 man, 1/4 horse.
Instead of the usual 50-50 split.
My wife says I’m 1/4 horse.
Apparently I’m a horse’s ass.
But it isn't 50/50. It's a whole horse with half a man where his neck and head should be. So it's more like 1 1/4 creatures.
Half man, half bear, half pig.
No, clearly it's half man, half bear-pig!
Body is 1/2, head is the other 1/2. 🤷♂️
The second one, because if a centaur is already half horse and half human, a half-human half-centaur would be 3/4 human and 1/4 horse.
Centaur but on backlegs is also human atop
I'm gonna go with Jesus with hooves
this halfling would have the top of centaur and the buttom of a human
Like a 1/4 centaur, so maybe walking upright on horsey hind legs with a human torso and head?
A human with a giant horse "head"
Math can help solve this:
m = 0.5 # human
h = 0.5 # horse
C = m + h # Centaur
So Centaur is 50% human, 50% horse. Half human, half Centaur would be:
# Expand
C / 2 + m
m + h / 2 + m
# Combine
(m + h / 2) + (2m / 2)
3m + h / 2
# Solve
3(0.5)[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
1.5[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
0.75[m] + 0.25[h]
Which is 0.75 human, 0.25 horse
Therefore, this hybrid is 75% human, 25% horse
To answer your question: This would probably be a human with a horse tail, and 2 horse legs.
Damn, I wish I had an algorithm to tell me whether 75 and 25 are even or odd, though.
X Mod 2
It returns true if X is odd and false if X is even.
A more computational efficient method would be to use: AND 00000001
(I was being facetious and was referring to the joke of making highly complicated evenOrOdd functions)
I just want people to think.
I asked Google about it and it clearly didn't understand what half a centaur is, but it did confirm that it is an even number.
his name is BoJack Horseman
a satyr?
It would be a centaur with a horse's head.
