The Forest Centaurok replaced its ancestor in their overlapping range. It is fairly similar to its ancestor, but slightly taller and with coloration more suited to life in the woodlands. Its spikes are sleek and its overall form more nimble, allowing it to navigate through its forest habitat with ease.

Like its ancestor, the Forest Centaurok is viviparous and gives birth to developed young which can run soon after birth. It is social and travels in groups, usually of individuals of similar age, and it does not engage in parental care. Being in a group provides some amount of defense against predators. It uses its large leg fins to communicate with others of its kind, and it has the ability to feel itchy. Like its ancestor, it generally uses its forelimbs to bring food closer to its face to feel up with its antennae before eating. Its facial markings and the quality of its fins play a role in sexual selection.
