I would bloody hate sleeping like that

TIL, i would much rather be a half man half cat than a half man half horse.

or half man half Dragon, lots of options here

I know they’re not real, which is why I asked the internet and not a centaur

@ElbowDeepInAHorse Is this the content you like? or is the human half too much.

I really like it when people get into well-thought-out detail about fantasy stuff

As someone who is writing a book with my own world, this stuff is SERIOUSLY important to come up with!

The sleeping while resting on anothers rump makes me think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMJsqXzz5zs

I love world building ideas like this. When making a fantasy creature, think about HOW they exist, rather than simply what they look like.

But how do they wear pants?

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Houses don't sleep like we do, and if they did, they would lose circulation in their legs if they laid down too long.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

they could just nap frequently, or, mind you, they have to be fundamentally different from humans and horses on some levels anyway

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

so adapting their legs to handle that isn't unthinkable

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I mean maybe if they slept for as long as people do. But they only sleep about 3h a day, and can easily do it lying down if they're healthy.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

True! They're not "human plus horse", they're something different from both. Orthopedics will still be similar but it's not strictly 1:1.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah, but not for 8 hours

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

They have two torsos. Do they have 2 sets of organs? is one torso hollow? or is one a weird sack of pointless meat?

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Or maybe one functions as a backup? Or one set of organs is more specialized than the other?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Two sets would make more sense. But not much sense. :D

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Horses have more than one stomach. My guess is organs are spread out through both torsos.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That seems the most reasonable.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Agreed, you might double up on hearts and lungs but the rest can just be spread around, the upper torso could even have

a secondary "holding stomach" to hold more food so they can just gourge on food and be plenty well fed for a while

I don’t think guard duty should be mentioned while sleep is discussed.

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

In the Marines we had a sort of guard duty where you sleep with all your gear on so that if something happens you can wake & go to action

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

You'd still have separate guards out patrolling or manning defense points. Sleep in watch order so first 'taur is woken at 2nd, 3rd etc.

Whoever is being relieved joins the back of the line so they can rest after their shift is done

This seemed so factual that for a moment I doubted the mythological nature of centaurs.

I'm still thinking about CPR on a centar. Do they have 1 or 2 hearts?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

likely two. Or an extremely powerful cardiovascular system.

Maybe one is a “backup” of sorts?

How does a young Centaur eat enough with that little human mouth to grow a horse body?

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Mothers have two sets of breasts; titties on the human torso and horse teats down by the groin. Twice the milk for a double sized baby.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Something closer to an actual answer: both humans and horses have single stomachs, a centaur could potentially have better results with two.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

There would definitely have to be middle grounds for gestation, growth, nutrients needed, ect. Imagine a floppy baby that can't support its

own neck, stuck onto a horse body that can walk within hours of birth.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

One solution I saw on Tumblr: centaur babies gestate longer than humans, but not as long as horses, so newborn centaurs aren’t >

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

>able to get up and running as quickly as newborn foals can, but also don’t require as much neck/spine support as human newborns.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I’d imagine the human half is supported by some kind of meld of human back muscles and stronger horse neck muscles.

I feel like some snaps/buckles/ties at the sides of the shirt to open them up would also make it easier to put on

Lol, "Do you have wings". Not even a question mark, because they know the answer.

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

This is something that always bothers me when designing a winged character in games, i want the clothes to be anatomically correct.

5 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 0

Wings are petty flexible, instead of having the clothing be extremely form fitting around the joint, you just need to make it look like a

Write something. Let's hear what you think

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I think they have omnivorous diets, so probably a singular stomach with acid similar to ours, just bigger.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Horses have only one stomach and a huge appendix for the breakdown of grasses. They would have to be omnivorous, eating a lot of leafies.
