A series of large metal doors opened and a creature stepped out into the sun drenched arena of a grand coliseum. Thousands of seats were filled with patrons that anticipated this next clash of carnage. Centaurian in nature, this specimen was peculiar.

Similarly, what seemed like a single set of wings lined along his entire backside. Frontal talons and hindpaws carried the warrior forth in a digittrade manner until coming to a stop at the center of the arena.
