    Neither. The neck is the long part, and do horse-based centaurs have horse necks?

    Giraffe centaurs would be underwhelming.

      But in a centaur, the human torso is placed where the horse neck would be. If it was the torso that was replaced they would look more like satyrs.

        Yes, with a perfectly normal human torso. Put a human torso in the same spot and…

        BOOOORRRING!! 🤣

          A Giraffe’s shoulder height is like 8 to 13ft, no way ms.curly is only 5’11

            You’re not wrong, but I was very much regretting my decision to search for giraffe centaurs at all, and Ms. Curly was a safe enough option with the proportions I was trying to communicate.
