5e Race: Onocentaur

Centaurs are a very cool, very dramatic race, as centuries of pastoral fantasy art readily attests. But they're a little too big and unwieldy to be practical members of an adventuring party. They won't fit in the little boat tied up by the subterranean lake. They can't hide in the Duchess' closet. And, of course, they can't climb ladders. May I suggest a smaller, shaggier, humbler alternative?

Onocentaurs have the torso, arms, and head of a human, and the legs and body of a donkey. Shaggy donkey ears grow from their head, and buck teeth are common.

Google didn't have any  onocentaurs, so I drew this one.

They are smaller than their wild cousins, the noble centaurs, and more adapted to life among humans. They fit more easily into human-scaled buildings, and are much better climbers—Onocentaurs have an easy time navigating stairs and can even learn to climb ladders.

They are rustic creatures, often living on the rural outskirts of civilization, making their living close to the land, as farmers, herders, and simple craftsfolk. They do not have a distinct culture of their own, adopting the language, customs, and religion of the region.

Onocentaurs are often figures of ridicule. They are considered obstinant, dull, and unintentionally comical. An onocentaur might counter that they are steady, independent, and uninterested in the pretensions and fripperies that distract others.
