General Notes

As a neutral card, this monster has built in versatility.

It comes with a decent allocation of 4 health at level 1 and is very fast compared to many monsters with 3 speed at level one and 6 speed at max level. It's ranged attack type is good for allowing it to take up the flank with its health to help buffer against sneak attacks, but you may find it useful to put it in the next to last position instead to preserve it longer with and keep it in play with its snipe ability. With 4 mana casting cost, this monster can fit most team builds.

You can also add blast with Yodin Zaku as the summoner, which can greatly increase the power of this card.

Strengths
Fast with speed starting at 3 and increasing at level 3, 6, and 9
Neutral monsters are available in most circumstances.
Snipes enemies behind the tank.
Moderate health ranging between 4 and 6 at various levels
Additional ranged damage added level 4 and level 8
Weaknesses
Low attack power starting at 1 and increasing at levels 4 and 8

Lore

The Centaurs of Anumün can skewer a squirrel from further than a human eye can see. Their arrows are thick, their bows are long, and they are extremely territorial. In close combat, they require no weapons, having the fury of a man and the strength of a horse.
