The Shianusapiens are EpiCentaur 's species. They lived on the planet Veridia.
This species is now extinct, with the last survivors having died out on an off world colony far away from Veridia. This extinction was catalysed by a nuclear war between Shianusapien factions on their home world.
Appearance
Shianusapiens are a centaur-like race. Therefore they have four legs attached at two hips sections, and two arms attached to the chest above this.
They strongly resembles a horse from the waist down, with a more human shape from the torso up. They have a coat of fur that stretches from their hooves all the way up to their wrists and neck/cheeks.
Their head appears very similar to a human head, except with a third eye in the middle of the forehead, and they have no ears. Their hands also look very human, except with naturally sharper nails.
History
Pre-war (somewhere between 1000-20'000 years ago)
Powers
With four strong legs, Shianusapiens are incredibly fast.
Shianusapiens also possess enhanced strength, capable of lifting heavy objects as well as carry them long distances on their back.
By vigorously stomping their hooves, Shianusapiens are capable of generating mild tremors.
Weaknesses
Due to their unusual shape, Shianusapiens can find it hard to manoeuvre in tight spaces
Shianusapiens struggle to reach their hind legs with their arms, making them easy to defeat if attacked or restrained from this angle.

- EpiCentaur (the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Shianusapien)

Etymology
Shianusapiens are named after Centorea Shianus, a centaur from the anime/manga series Monster Musume, combined with the word sapien, which is Latin for wise (Monster Musume is rated 16+, the wikia linked may not be suitable for younger audiences. Yes, the links warn you as well, I'm just warning you first).
Trivia
- Shianusapiens are based off of the mythical creatures known as centaurs from ancient Greek mythology
- The Omnitrix's DNA sample of Shianusapiens came from an off world colonist.
- The hunt for this DNA sample inadvertently led to the discovery of the Veridian Wildflowers, as well as the collection of Trapflaura's DNA into the omnitrix.
