A centaur is a creature from Greek mythology that looks like a combination of a human and a horse. Imagine a person with a horse body instead of legs, and you've got a centaur!
Centaur stories often describe them as wild and untamed creatures who live in the forest and love to hunt, but they're also respected for their strength and bravery.
Although centaurs are just myths and not real, many people have created stories and artwork based on them in popular culture, like movies and books.
