Centaurs

From Glen Cook Wiki

The centaur tribes range the Cantard in great numbers. Adapted for the harsh lifestyle there, they act as scout auxiliaries for the Karentine and Venageti forces fighting the Cantard Wars. A centaur tribe encompasses about 500 individuals.

Centaurs are about the size of a small pony. Physically rather weak, they are fast runners and can make devastating cavalry charges. They have a reputation for being greedy, mean, and vain. They have a great respect for their ancestors. They put their family names first.
