Hi,
Tiassas are smaller than dzur and they definitely have some sort of wings.
"There were these beings, maybe two dozen of them, and I've never
seen anyone or anything run so fast. They had four legs and from the
waist down appeared to be feline, smaller than the dzur, perhaps the
size of the tiassa but without wings. From the waist up they appeared
human. They carried spears.
'Cat-centaurs, Loiosh?'
'I guess so, boss. I hadn't known they were real.'
'Nor had I. Interesting.'"

"Tiassa dreams and plots are born."
"They passed more statuary. When they reached the tiassa, which was
poised upon its hind legs, wings outspread,"
