This book is linked with my main Countryhuman oneshot book, the headcanons presented here can help the comprehension of these stories.
These are my personal interpretations, I do not claim making an entire canon for everyone. This is how I see thing...
The Centaur Thing AU is a countryhuman AU in which multiple countries got transformed into centaurs (of ungulate animals from different families like equines, cervid, bovids and a few more). The animal they can get transformed into are not necessarily a species that can be found on their land.
These transformations get caused by a transmittable condition, from one individual to another (any comparison with another actual transmittable virus would be weird but strangely accurate). This condition is not characterized by any kind of visible symptoms, except the transformation in itself, although those subjected to it have to get used to their new bodies (like relearning how to walk for instance).
With the transformation, they get multiple traits added, like behaviors from the animal they are now half of, the language of said animal (like vocalizations and body language), all of which while still keeping their more human self, and events (being the rutting season, when their libido gets higher than normal, and the whole antler shedding cycle for the cervids). They also get the physical strength of the animal (stronger, faster, taller, heavier and the additional new defense mechanism for those who got horns and antlers).
Despite all of these "wilder" characteristics, the countries affected by this condition continue living their lives as if nothing happened, their political duties continuing to be the most important for them.
