Overview (TL;DR)

The easiest way to create Centaurs consistently is to use Niji 7!

How do I get a real Centaur, not a rider on a horse?

</aside>

Scroll through this FAQ to see examples of prompts that have been shown to produce centaurs. It doesn't mean they will produce centaurs every time, but if you give the prompts a few chances you'll probably get at least one usable image.

Consider these techniques:

• try a Niji model (naturally better at centaurs)
• use --raw mode
• use --no parameter
• lower --stylize
• try a moodboard full of centaur images (with a descriptive prompt)
• use an aspect ratio that the centaur will fit into
• add words like ‘mythological’, ‘concept art’, ‘fantasy’
• describe the features with uniquely horse / human characteristics
