Definition: Pholus was a centaur who tried to be hospitable to Hercules, but the scent of his wine drew more raucous centaurs to the scene where a fight with poisoned arrows ensued. Pholus died as the result of poisoning from one such arrow that fell out on his foot.

Examples: Pholus and Chiron stand apart from the majority of the centaurs as good, hospitable ones.
