Well, here's the thing. Centaurs are a HELL of a lot bigger than satyrs. Satyrs
are human-sized, but most centaurs run around 8 feet tall on average and in the
range of 1000-1800lbs (at least, the description I have of them, based on actual
horse and human sizes: draft horses can weigh up to a full ton and reach 18hh).
Given that, I found it a made a bit more sense to base them off of trolls, with
the number of legs modified appropriately. I also cross-referenced with the
centaur critter in PAE and the horse critter in SR2 to come up with something I
thought worked.
