Centaurs (and other *taur types. Looking at you, furries) are overall an incredibly dumb design.

The more you think about them, the more they just don't work. I went from meh, to dislike, to hate for centaurs over the years.

Wait till you get into the math of .

A Pegasus, if it were to fly in the same way as a bird, would require extremely large wings relative to its body size, likely much larger than commonly depicted. Calculations suggest a wingspan of at least 30 meters (about 100 feet) for a horse-sized creature. This is due to the constraints of the square-cube law and the need for sufficient lift to support the horse's weight.

A study of dragons from movies and video games suggests they would need to fly much faster or have wings 45 times larger to stay aloft.

Don't even get me started on Sphinxes and Manticores.

That is why I like unicorns. when they fly, nobody starts calculating. Everybody just accepts the magic

I'm a sci-fi guy. I can accept that whatever force is causing the unicorn to fly is one that I haven't measured or studied yet.

Any sufficiently understood magic is indistinguishable from science.
