Centaur

Strong melee fighters, Centaurs serve as infantry for the vile Serpent Rider, Korax, and can be found in many levels, namely metal-themed ones. They and their tougher friends, the Slaughtaurs, can deflect missiles with their shields which makes it hard to down these beasts if you are playing as Parias the Cleric as they will send the venom spheres from your serpent staff right back at you, so beware when facing these monstrosities.
