A centaur was a mythological creature with an upper body of a Human and the lower body of a horse.
A banner in King Hrothgar's great hall featured a centaur holding a sword and a shield. (VOY: "Heroes and Demons")
The banner was later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1](X)
The Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update described the Ariolo as a race of centaurs.
