If you were to invent such a creature, you have two ways to go with the naming scheme. Literal, as in the case of monopodes (aka "Shadefoots"), or poetic, following Centaur (possibly "Bull-piercers") connoting the Lapiths as early horsemen who hunted with spears. | |

| Jan 11, 2018 at 11:16 | comment | added | Lauren-Clear-Monica-Ipsum | are you interested in exactly four arms? The early part of the Greek creation myths famously had the Hundred-Handed Ones. theoi.com/Titan/Hekatonkheires.html | |
