Vote on Mythical creatures: Centaur vs Cheval Gauvin
Centaur
A centaur (/ˈsɛn.tɔːr, -tɑːr/; Ancient Greek: κένταυρος, kéntauros, Latin: centaurus), or occasionally hippocentaur, is a creature from Greek mythology with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse.[2][3] Centaurs are thought of in many Greek myths as being as wild as untamed horses, and were said to have inhabited the region of Magnesia and Mount Pelion in Thessaly, the Foloi oak forest in Elis, and the Malean peninsula in southern Laconia. Centaurs are subsequently featured in Roman mythology, and were familiar figures in the medieval bestiary. They remain a staple of modern fantastic literature.

Cheval Gauvin
The Cheval Gauvin (French: Gauvin horse) is a legendary evil horse of Franche-Comté, France and the Jura Mountains in Switzerland. It is said to frequent watercourses, forests or cemeteries and to kill those who mount it by drowning them or throwing them into chasms. The horse is mentioned close to Chamblay by Désiré Monnier from 1854. It is a harbinger of death, and appears to have been a kind of bogeyman for children. Possibly a transformed lutin (hobgoblin) it is one of a number of legendary horses of Jura. Jean-Louis Thouard depicted it in 1996.
