Womantaur

Lady Mantaur · half-mantaur

The female mantaur: a four-limbed, arch-backed centaur-like variant, unnervingly different from the four-armed males.

Story so far

Womantaurs (Lady Mantaurs) are the female counterpart to the mantaurs Carl has fought before. Where male mantaurs are buff dudes with a second torso and four arms, these females stand on four limbs like grotesque centaurs — their forward 'legs' actually a second set of arms shoved into boots, giving an arched-back, unnatural gait — with a broad, muscle-bound secondary torso. A related oddity is the 'half-mantaur,' a mantaur split vertically down the middle by the Split Personality spell, surviving on one leg and two right arms, wrapped in a suit to keep its guts and brains from spilling out, rejoinable by a fleshmancer.

The Lady Dominators Genesis and Rapture are womantaurs; Corcunda is a half-mantaur.

Appearance

A four-limbed centaur-like female mantaur with an arched, humped back, a broad muscular upper torso, and a second pair of arms used as forelegs.
