{{quotation|nightfall|[[Elona|Elonian]] [[Centaur]]s not only have equine features, but also resemble the swift gazelles that run across plains and savannahs. These creatures are also more leonine than their distant [[Tyria]]n cousins, displaying some of the social behaviors of big cats—a group of Elonian Centaurs is called a “pride.” Their extended families normally prowl and hunt around a pride’s breeding grounds, fighting to defend their territory.}}

==Notes==
{{gw2w}}
*Shiverpeak, Maguuma, and Losaru centaurs have 20 additional [[armor rating|armor]] against [[cold damage]], except for the [[Ranger]]s of the groups. The Rangers have 10 additional armor against cold damage, but also have 30 less armor against [[earth damage]].
**This makes earth damage a good choice against them as the Rangers effectively do not have the standard bonus elemental armor rating vs earth damage and the Warriors have their standard vulnerability to elemental damage.
*While not specifically mentioned in-game, the Maguuma centaurs are referred to as [[gw2:Harathi|Harathi]] in [[Guild Wars 2]] and in later interviews.
*The Shiverpeak centaurs do not have an explicitly given name, however they have been seen alongside the Modniir, and share the same character models.
*There is a centaur [[hero]] named [[Zhed Shadowhoof]].
