Homebrew Elaphocentaur Species Details
Appearance
From the waist up, Elaphocentaurs appear as ordinary humans, at least mostly. Skin tone may be any color possible for mundane humans. Eye color may be any color possible for either humans or deer. Some may have ears or eyes or a nose like a deer (or perhaps just pointed ears). In some cases, male Elaphocentaurs may even have antlers. Overall, however, facial features are largely discernible as humanoid.
The lower half of the Elaphocentaur's body (below the human waist) is like the neck-down body of a mundane deer. The specific species of deer, naturally, varies from one family of Elaphocentaur to another. One may have traits of a white-tailed deer, fallow deer, Chinese water deer, sika deer, roe deer, red deer, an elk, a moose or the like.
Certain size variations may occur, but they would all be within the human and deer range of possibility; for example, a moose-centaur or an elk-centaur tends toward the human equivalent of gigantism, while a Northern pudu-centaur (or its Southern cousin) would tend toward the human equivalent of dwarfism.
