| Reference | monst.c#line1158 |
A forest centaur, C, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack.
A forest centaur has a weapon attack and a kick attack.
A peaceful or tame forest centaur "discusses hunting" if you #chat to them.
Generation
Randomly generated forest centaurs may be peaceful towards chaotic characters.
Forest centaurs may appear among the hostile monsters that generate in throne rooms, as well the monsters randomly generated by looting a throne while confused and carrying gold (provided there is no chest on the level).[1]
Two statues of forest centaurs are featured on the Oracle level.
The forest centaur is the first quest monster for Rangers, and makes up 96⁄175 of the monsters generated on the Ranger quest. Several forest centaurs are also generated on several floor of the quest branch at level creation: eighteen are generated on the home level, with six flanking each set of iron bars; three are generated on the upper filler level; four are generated on the locate level; and eight are generated on the goal level. Forest centaurs also appear among the random C that are part of the first quest monster class for the Ranger quest and make up 24⁄175 of the monsters randomly generated there.
The forest centaur is also the second quest monster for Tourists, and makes up 24⁄175 of the monsters generated on the Ranger quest; eight forest centaurs are generated on the home level at level creation.
Forest centaurs have a 1⁄2 chance of being generated with a bow and 3–14 arrows.[2]
History
The forest centaur first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
Encyclopedia entry
Of all the monsters put together by the Greek imagination
the Centaurs (Kentauroi) constituted a class in themselves.
Despite a strong streak of sensuality, in their make-up,
their normal behaviour was moral, and they took a kindly
thought of man's welfare. The attempted outrage of Nessos on
Deianeira, and that of the whole tribe of Centaurs on the
Lapith women, are more than offset by the hospitality of
Pholos and by the wisdom of Cheiron, physician, prophet,
lyrist, and the instructor of Achilles. Further, the
Centaurs were peculiar in that their nature, which united the
body of a horse with the trunk and head of a man, involved
an unthinkable duplication of vital organs and important
members. So grotesque a combination seems almost un-Greek.
These strange creatures were said to live in the caves and
clefts of the mountains, myths associating them especially
with the hills of Thessaly and the range of Erymanthos.
