Frugalarugala:

Three heads have got to be better than one when it comes to bringing 
down game. Coming from an area where feral and wild dogs have 
replaced wolves with the deer population, I can too easily picture 
Fluffy chewing on a unicorn... I wonder if some of the centaurs 
hostility has anything to do with "interesting" things being 
introduced and disrupting the local ecology?
