** On his way to becoming the Nowhere King, [[spoiler:the Elk]] would have been shown becoming the leader of a large cult comprised of humans, non-sapient animals, and other creatures, all of whom he would have used in [[spoiler:creating the first minotaurs]].

* WordOfGod: Has its own page [[WordOfGod/Centaurworld here]].

* WordOfGod:
** Megan had imagined Comfortable Doug as being pansexual, but she didn't want to comment too much on the characters' sexualities because she wanted the audience to draw their own conclusions.
** The Woman was unaware of the General being connected to the [[spoiler:Elktaur]] until she had found [[spoiler:the Elk chained up in the dungeon.]]
** The Woman was very intrigued by Centaurworld, and when she was younger, she would travel there and learn magic from the Shamans. Her hair being purple represents a bit of Centaurworld's magic becoming a part of her.
** The General and [[spoiler:the Elk]] have the same mind/personality; The team wanted to showcase how someone changes when they have privilege vs. when they don't.
** Zulius and Splendib's original rivalry was based around the drama between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, which also happened to involve backup dancers.
** All centaurs possess some form of magic. The shamans simply specialize in magic.
** Rider and Horse are both orphans.
** There are very few older/elderly humans in the Human World because it's almost exclusively the younger generation (such as Rider) that survived.
** One doesn't change based on the style of the world they're in, they change based on how much they let the world change them. The reason that Horse and Stabby changed the way they did was because the former had learned to adapt to Centaurworld (even if she didn't want to) while the latter had a sudden realization.
*** This is also the reason why the [[spoiler:Elktaur]] and the Mysterious Woman don't look as cartoony as everyone else in Centaurworld. The former didn't spend much time in the Human World, but the time he did spend really affected him. In the latter's case, while she was trapped in Centaurworld for quite a while, she didn't let it affect her in any way except for changing her hair color, which she had acquired when she was younger and travelling to and from Centaurworld.
** The birdtaurs don't like Wammawink due to them not being privy to her backstory, and what they did see of her made them think her as being overbearing.
** The "tweets" are, in fact, newborn birdtaurs. The ones that make it to adulthood get to join the rest of the birdtaurs.
** Glendale is wanted by the Moletaurs for more than just theft.
