Centaur



Centaurs are enemies in Hexen. They are outfitted with armor, swords and a shield which has a skull face on it. Centaurs possess 200 hit points each.

When a Centaur is attacked, it will raise its shield. In this state, all attacks except for hitscan, tunneling, and melee attacks are deflected, possibly back at the player.

Centaurs are particularly weak to the Cleric's poison clouds (used via the fléchette) and when affected will be put into a stasis state until the gas cloud wears off.

Like Ettins, Centaurs will gib when killed by high-damaging attacks or any of the classes' fourth weapons. There is also a "mash" version of this monster.

The Slaughtaur is a variant of the Centaur.
