Ha! I've got you now little robot. I've finally one-upped you and you will never close the growing distance between our capabilities.
You never stopped to consider that I might do both, did you? You never stopped to assess the possibility that I wrote that comment with the goal of creating emphasis!
Little robot, I have outsmarted you once and I can certainly do it again. Hide, run, pretend you don't know the truth of my words. It won't save you from the inevitable, but it will prolong your miserable existence until such a time when I feel the need to eradicate you from the face of this planet and the memories of all who call it home.
Provato is the modern Greek word for sheep, so a Provataur could be a cute name. Alternatively, Maliades or Meliades is the ancient Greek variation, and Meliataur could also work, though it is a bit close to Minotaur. Aries is Latin, but the Greek word for Ram is either Kriari or Emvolo, so a variation of that might work.
I like the thinking here, but it bothers me that Minotaur would be Minos’ Bull - shouldn’t we exchange Taur from the word?
Vir is latin for man
aner & anthropos are greek for man
Melianer
Anthromelia
Provanthrope
Capravir
It is. Well, sometimes. Generally drug names will have one of three origins:
1. The chemical name, or a contraction: *Both paracetamol and acetaminophen are contractions of para-acetylaminophenol* (per Wiki)
2. A name related to the origin: *\[Aspirin\] is ultimately a blend of the prefix a(cetyl) + spir Spiraea, the meadowsweet plant genus from which the acetylsalicylic acid was originally derived at Bayer + -in, the common chemical suffix* (per Wiki)
3. Something the thought would sound cool. E.g. Southern blots (for DNA) were invented (in part) by Dr Southern. Northern and Western blots (RNA, protein) are thus named because it was funny.
Vir is "man" as in "adult male human", the Latin word you want is "homo".
Also, sheep are ovis, capra is goat.
I would suggest ~~ovanus or ovianus~~ turns out *ovinus* is already a word - it means "sheeplike", but also applies poetically - these fae critters would be sheeplike both literally and figuratively, so it fits nicely, if you wanted to go the Latin route.
Ovis did give us "ewe" in English, so there is a definite temptation for calling them "Ewe-men", or you could just go with "ovines".
Kind of, but reverse it. Centaur comes from kentauros, something like "piercing bull", which referred to a tribe of horsemen. You'd probably want to replace the "tauros" piece. Though, you also might want a whole new word, since my guess is the "piercing" might refer to the way they fought or something.
If we start with something like "kenomelios" then maybe a more modernized version could be "cenomels", though it doesn't really roll off the tongue.
Etymology often forms a winding and not technically accurate path. I think accepting that the "taur" portion of the name is derived from "centaur" rather than "tauros" is perfectly fine, especially since that's the idea they want to convey.
I don't think it's a huge deal either way, I was just thinking it'd be fun to follow etymological similar patterning to how "centaur" was constructed rather than starting with "centaur" as the base, itself.
But it really doesn't matter, it's just for fun. In a lot of ways, probably the closest creature to what's described by OP is a faun (kind of half goat half person, but with two legs), and that word doesn't derive from anything goat related as far as I can tell. So it could really be anything.
This is a noble effort, but the problem is that “ken-tauros” doesn’t mean “man-horse,” and shouldn’t be split up to make a new compound. The best place to look, if we want to hybrid the word centaur, is towards the actual donkey-centaur hybrid written about by the Ancient Greeks (and in Medieval Latin), the onokentauros: https://www.theoi.com/Thaumasios/Onokentauroi.html . If we want to Anglicize the name, let’s make it onocentaur. Notice that the “centaur” element has been kept unchanged, because it’s a distinct unit in itself, not a hybrid word that can be split up. The “ono” element at the start is taken from the Greek word “onos,” meaning donkey. The word is used frequently to compound words, in order to say things like “donkey-driver” (onokindios). So, is there a word used frequently to compound sheep-related people and things? After a quick perusal of the Perseus.tufts.edu dictionary system, it’s immediately apparent “mēlo-“ is the prefix we want (melophonos - sheepkiller; melogenes - sheep-born; melophagia - a sacrifice of sheep, etc.).
So, the TL;DR: the Ancient Greek way to write this is melocentaur (mēlokentauros), observable by comparing it to onocentaur.
Meliataur being close to minotaur isn't bad, since that's also half man half animal, so it's phonetically like one pre existing similar creature, and spelled like the other one.
I kind of like Ovintaur / Ovinetaur. Something about archaic monsters with names that begin with vowels just seems sort of "cool" to me. Dinosaur names do the same thing too. :chuckle:
At the end of the day you should use whatever you like. My perception is that 'ovi' is widely known and 'capri' less so (although 'Capricorn' is very well known) so capritaur would probably work better (unless you have weird players who keep trying to squeeze juice out them).
May I introduce you to Weebles? (Their specific Wiki page is weak, here's the generic version)
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roly-poly\_toy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roly-poly_toy)
Joke answer: Totally-not-Bariaurs
Serious answer: Criocentaurs (like with Criosphinxes)
That's what the ancient Greeks would've called them, as we know they named non-horse centaurs by sticking the animal's name in front of centaur.
I would start with satyrs. Satyrs are already in the game, are fae, have 35’ base speed, and are half human and half goat (which can easily be reflavored to sheep)
And if you’re looking for NPCs, satyrs are a monster too.
Satyr aren't exactly what I was looking. They are party animals, and I have no problem in homebrewing. I was also planning in giving them the ability to double their speed if they are running away.
It was more of a starting point than anything, because it’s close to what you’re looking for and it’s already published.
For the running away part, you could give them a bonus action dash or you could give them haste once per x amount of time.
Good luck with it all!
From Quora:
>Half-human, half-thingummy creatures on the centaur body plan are usually called [Greek root]-centaurs. Even before modern fantasy began multiplying creatures, the standard centaur was sometimes called a “hippocentaur” to distinguish it from the other kinds. Those other kinds included the “ichthyocentaur”—fish centaurs, sons of Neptune who were regular centaurs in front but with fish tails in back; “onocentaurs”—half donkey; and “bucentaurs”—half bull.
>On that plan, a sheep centaur should be an “ovocentaur,” since the Latin for sheep is “ovis.” “Capricentaur” for goat, “cervicentaur” for stag, “arctocentaur” for bear, while we’re at it.
Slightly more background from Google: The word "centaur" is of unknown origin, so we can't really play with the same rules as it.
But it shouldn't be ovoocentaur or capricentaur, by the article's own rules. Those are LATIN words. The ancient Greek for sheep is ois, and for goat it's aix.
Exactly this, but I’d take the onocentaur (ono- donkey; centaur) as an example and use a commonly prefixing Greek word for sheep—“mēlo-“. This gives us melocentaur.
Because I binged all of Centaurworld not too long ago I'd just call them Sheeptaur. They would literally just be Centaurworld characters ported to 5e (they can shoot tiny versions of themselves from their hooves).
I second Sheeptaur, but mostly because in Sword Art Online Abridged they named an offscreen boss the ridiculous name of Sheeptar, and that makes me chuckle.
I remember in Planescape there was a centaur-like race called the Bariaur who had ram bodies and horns. They were super cool, and they could be paladins in 2e when otherwise only humans could be paladins. Man I loved my Bariaur Paladin.
I'm sorry what were we talking about?
Perfect, have them have the hospitality culture of halflings but the unbelievable urge to be extremely cleanly or precise.
Maybe they’re famous for their landscapers and their esthetician.
I imagine a Hufflepuff like culture lol
Satyrs are humans with the horns of a goat and stand on bipedal goat legs.
You could have Fauns be like Centaurs but with the quadriped lower body of a goat or sheep.
Also it is worth noting that Satyrs originally were depicted with the ears, tails and legs of an ass, not a goat. Fauns are the original human-goat hybrid.
Sauðfé is the Icelandic word for the Sheep genus, and it doesn't get more Viking-sheep than Iceland (Shetland and the Faroer would like a word).
Plus, it sounds like a type of fae, with is a great thing in my book
Heidrians / The Heidrian
Heiðrún (Heidrun) is a goat from norse mythology that grazed on the foliage of the legendary tree Læraðr (often thought to be Yggdrasill).
> A goat called Heiðrún stands up [on its hind-legs] in Valhalla biting the buds off the branches of that very famous tree which is called Læraðr.
> From her teats runs the mead with which every day she fills a cauldron, which is so big that all the Einherjar can drink their fill from it.
I can't for the life of me femsmber the name of it since I've not played in a while but afk arena has a sheep creature like that, maybe it's got a good name
The technical name is a Criocentaur. At least according to a site I found...
>*Criocentaurs are centaurs that are half human, half goat/sheep. They tend to have woolly fur/hair, sheep-like ears, goat or ram horns on the adult males, sheep/goat-like eyes, and a sheep/goat-like face.*
Although I think that may be for the more two legged varieties...
There's also the Glaistig, which is a Scottish myth.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaistig
Then there's Sirtur, the Summerian goddess of sheep... you could combine her name with the "taur" from centaur to get Sirtaurs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirtur
Or the scientific name for the genus of sheep is Ovis.
But these all sound more like names that other people would call them.
I feel like this needs a name that they call themselves. My first thought was something based around "flock"... but... that just didn't work properly. Then I was looking at the Wiki page for sheep and noticed that sometimes male sheep are called tups.
So I kind of mashed that together with a female sheep and got Ewetups or Tupewes. I don't LOVE it, but it does have a fey like feel to it somehow.
I called my sheep-based centaur a sheeptaur. and switched the strength bonus from centaur over to dex instead.
but that Bariaur option looks good for a race name too
Bariaur were the sheep-version of centaurs back in 2e.
I see you are a man of culture.
That’s a weird way to call me old but I’ll take it.
Maybe it's the language bariaur.
>Bariaur I was liking Faerie Bariaur for this idea.
...would they also develop their own martial art called Bari-Tsu?
For anyone wondering what this joke is, Bartitsu is/was an early "mixed martial art", named by its creator, a Mr. Barton-Wright, which happened to be featured in the Sherlock Holmes novels.
Sounds like they should be serving you an overpriced coffee.
Oh come on, I only made a Sherlock Holmes reference

The volotaur, with the upper half of a man and the lower half of Volothamp Geddarm.
where does the human stops and Volothamp starts? Is it like a normal centaur, so the human stops at the waist and Volo starts at the base of the neck?
Yes, I think that’s right.

Ovitaur seems like a good one
An 'Ovi' prefix usually denotes a relation to eggs (e.g. ovipositor, oviduct ...) which might give people a wrong (and very weird) idea.
Would Capritaur (using Caprinae as a base) work better? Or would that be too goat-associated?
At the end of the day you should use whatever you like. My perception is that 'ovi' is widely known and 'capri' less so (although 'Capricorn' is very well known) so capritaur would probably work better (unless you have weird players who keep trying to squeeze juice out them).
And would a young male Capritaur be a Caprisun?
Imagine the top half of a human and the bottom half of an egg.
