Centaurs are a four-legged race of creatures whose features combine equine and human elements. The centaurs of Tyria live in groups known as prides. There are five known prides: the Modniir, Tamini and Harathi of Tyria, the Losaru of the Crystal Desert, and the Veldrunner of Elona. Within the prides of the centaurs exist various tribes - such as the Orshad Tribe of the Losaru. After many years with no contact with the beleaguered continent of Elona, it's unclear whether the centaurs of Elona and the Crystal Desert survived Palawa Joko's return and the rise of Kralkatorrik.

The centaurs were one of the races that were displaced by the initial spread of humanity throughout Tyria. In 1072 AE, two centaur prides attempted an alliance but human intervention prevented it - at least for a time. At this time, there was a group of centaurs within the Maguuma Jungle whose pride name was unknown. In recent history, the Modniir centaurs have taken over the Harathi and Tamini breeds and urge them to attack humans in Kryta.

There have only been two known centaurs who have renounced their hatred for humans and went on to live a life of pacifism: Ventari and Ehrgen Windmane.
