Homebrew Centhera Species Details
A distant cousin of the centaur, centhera are born with the traits and lower bodies of big cats (panthera), rather than those of horses. More commonly found in the Beastlands than the Feywild, they are natural hunters, but have lost some of the traits that connect them to their Fey ancestry.
