A '''centaur''', {{white|C}}, is a monster that appears in older versions of ''[[NetHack]]'' from [[Hack 1.0]] to [[NetHack 3.0.0]].

A centaur has a single attack.

==Generation==
Centaur are typically created hostile.

Centaurs are among the monsters that can be generated in [[throne room]]s.{{refsrc|mkshop.c|312|nethack=1.3d}}

Centaurs have a {{frac|2}} chance of [[Monster starting inventory|generating with]] a [[crossbow]] that has a {{frac|2}} chance of being [[cursed]] and 3-14 [[crossbow bolt]]s.{{refsrc|makemon.c|194|nethack=1.3d}}

==Strategy==
Centaurs are quite fast and annoying to deal with if they manage to pick up a ranged weapon, but a smart [[hero]] can position themselves for an easier fight. Dead centaurs are also quite filling at 500 [[nutrition]].

==History==
The centaur first appears as an individual monster in Hack 1.21 and Hack for PDP-11, which are based on [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]], and is included in the initial bestiary for Hack 1.0. In Hack 1.21, the centaur uses the {{white|c}} glyph; in Hack for PDP-11 and Hack 1.0, it uses its modern glyph. [[NetHack 3.0.0]] introduces the [[Centaur (monster)|centaur]] [[monster class]] and phases out the centaur monster in favor of the three modern subtypes.
