centaur

Equine-bodied humanoid

A centaur is a creature from Greek mythology with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse.

Centaurs were typically depicted as wild and lustful, though the wise Chiron was an exception.

The image persists in fantasy literature, games, and astrology—Sagittarius is represented as a centaur archer.
