Centaurs, go to Gamers.com to see the D&D3e Centaur in their MM report.

Centaurs are one of the most reclusive beings in the D&D world tending to keep to the forests rather than mingling in open areas among Humans and other two legged beings. They are quite attune with nature as are Elves (thus they accept them more so than Humans), and develop bonds with nature. Never will a Centaur take more than he/she needs from the land, if forced to, for instance cut down a tree they will make it their job to plant another. A Centaur is unmistakable, the powerful equine body with a upper Humans torso jutting out where a horse's neck and head should be. By nature Centaur's are good creatures only resort to violence when necessary. In Centaurian society females have equal status with their male counterparts. Centaurs don't usually wear clothing as it is restrictive for them. Only when unfavorable weather comes to call, then they will dawn some sort of attire. *Like horses Centaurs can wear barding*. Centaurs prefer long bows, cudgels, spears, javelins, lances, scythes, and shields instead of swords, axes, etc. Despite being reclusive by nature Centaurs are not ignorant to the happenings of the outside world.

Satyrs, go to Gamers.com to see the D&D3e Satyr in their MM report.

Satyrs along with Centaurs live in the forests of the land. They are pleasure seekers and are primarily interested in "fun" things. Satyrs are very care free creatures and are entirely a male only species; their counterparts are believed to be Dryads which are an all female species.  These "goat-men" do not wander far from their home and are only offensive towards others when intruded upon and will drive the trespassers away; unless they are Elves which may be welcomed. Satyrs are usually found with Centaurs, whom they share their habitat with. Like Centaurs, Satyrs too care for nature as if it were their child, they will never over hunt or gather food in excess. Humans regard Satyrs as women stealing beasts from the forests, even though they are fond of other races' females (like Dryads are of males), they do not go out of their way to steal women. Females of good appearance (Cha 14+) are likely to be charmed by a Satyr.

Dragonlance History: Centaurs

Centaurs were created in 3051 PC along with Minotaurs, Dwarves and other races, when the magic of the Graygem melded horsemen into their horses. The Centaurs of Krynn call the forest of Darken Wood home along with Satyrs, Dryads and Fairies. Centaurs live in tribes that make up the Circle of Four; the four  tribes are: Green Willow, Iron Hooves, Ebon Lance, and the Soaring Mane. All tribes are lead by a chieftain, one of the four chieftains is the high chieftain. The Centaurs are further guided by the Forestmaster; who is an "avatar" of Chislev, the Centaurs god of worship. Being half-horse make Centaurs quite powerful, overlooking them because they are "half-animal" would be a mistake. They are not known for being a violent race, but can become so, like any other being. They usually though seek guidance from the Forestmaster before acting in aggression. There used to be seven tribes (Leaping Heart, Laughing Brook, Keening Wind) until they became extinct after the Centaurs' War during the Summer of Chaos. Chrethon (and his clan the Keening Wind) were discharged from the circle after out rightly killing some trespassing KoT; causing more to follow. Chrethon's anger caused him to join with Chaos and its child Grimbough; who warped the renegade Centaurs into deformed centaurs called Skorenoi. The Skorenoi were a deadly enemy, whatever killed one whether sword, axe, hoof, etc. would explode after the lethal blow was dealt. Many Centaurs died after using their hooves to kill Skorenoi. The Centaurs eventually won over the Skorenoi with the help of the Fairies but their capital of Ithax was in ruins... *for more on Centaurs and their culture/society/lifestyle/etc, read "Dezra's Quest". Or the AD&D / D&D Monster Manual for non-lance readings
