Pictures of centaurs in PF

Unread post by Axelmania »

Does anyone know every single book/page which depicts a Centaur? Most images of them in Rifts are cyborgs and I want to see how they normally look and how they might vary in appearance.

Monsters and Animals, Northern Hinterlands, and hopefully Lopan. That's off the top of my head.

Page 97 of Hinterlands had a nice illustration by Mike Wilson from April 2001, thanks for mentioning this.

Page 35 of Monsters and Animals has a neat illustration showing pointy horse-like ears (despite the 'head all human' statement) but I can't see a signature so I'm not sure who the artist is.

I noticed "Habitat: Ophid's Grasslands. Lopan. and the Eastern Territory grasslands." so I checked book 11 too. Page 43 mentions their tribes, and 61 an interesting "centaurs played with faeries" but that appears to be about it.

I noticed http://palladiumbooks.com/forums/viewto ... =5&t=43110 mentioned Ophidia was detailed in Western Empire so I checked book 8. Page 25 mentions a "smattering of centaurs" in the Kighfalton Marksmen. 174 refers to centaurs as a "monster race", while 184 lists them among "true monster races and creatures of magic" which provides some neat insight.

Haven't done any thorough look at all the pics of 8 (western) or 11 (eastern) so I'm not sure if any illustrations are there.

I believe the drawing in M&A is by KS.
