Now having just watched Shrek, specifically the part where Donkey sweet-talks his way out of being dragon food, I had to wonder: In a fantasy world, how does being half-horse affect our place in the wider scheme of things? Specifically, given our de-urbanised living habits, how much more likely are we to get hunted down and devoured?

More importantly though, how far would you go to get out of being eaten by a rampaging dragon? I want creative answers here people!

well, centaurs are sturdy and strong, and fast as well.

Well, first I'd run like hell. Then I'd jump on it's back, hoping it won't notice a good meal on its back.

I don't think centaurs have to worry about being eaten by many things.
As for escaping a dragon I don't think there's much I could do except run. o_o;

I feel that since both Centaurs and Dragons are few among the world, that we would respect each other and not bother one another. But if there is a problem i feel that we could talk our way out of being the Dragons next meal.

I don't think there's much reasoning to be done with a hungry dragon.

Arrows wouldn't do much good against a dragon.

I think that dragons are the least of our worries... there are vampires, kelpies, phookas, and all other manner of creatures to worry about.

And as for the dragon... play a riddle game with it... they LOVE riddles and would be too preoccupied with answering the riddle to care about eating you.

I have never heard of a centaur vampire so we are most likely immune to that stuff biggrin
The riddle idea is great!

a vampire centaur would be interesting.

As for dragons...its a dragon, not much you can do except scream and run. Then again, a dragon being a dragon....I don't think a centaur would run across many dragons, given centaur and dragon living habitats. Unless maybe the centaur herd lived up in the mountains- then maybe they'd have more run-ins w/ the dragons. But in the forest...well. maybe you can run and hide. Then again, the dragon could just crash/ burn the trees down....

In answer to the first question... I think that we COULD be eaten by some things...but not dragons. Ordinarilly Magical beasts leave each other alone..
