They were not all female.

In the Forbidden Forest, a centaur woken by a nameless apprehension ceased scanning the night sky, having found only questions there and no answers; and with a folding of his many legs, Firenze went back to sleep.

Am I the only one who found that quote oddly disquieting, BTW ? Just how many legs does he have ?

SEVEN.

Aragog: No, I am your father.

Firenze: No, that's not true, that's impossible!

Well yes, that's what I'd like to believe too, but 4 isn't exactly "many" (it's less than 7, for instance). Hmm.

More than 2!

1 - One. 2 - Two. 3 - Many. 4 - Lots.

So he has 3 legs.
