Mirren: An ancient race of Dragons that fled from a massive war from their own world, which perished. They are known to be some of the oldest living creatures on Gielinor, though they are not from it. There are only a few that survived their own Beast War on their homeworld, which caused the world to die. A handful managed to escape to neighboring worlds, such as Gielinor. They have three forms they can transform into: Their normal form, which usually looks elven or human. Their hybrid form where they look like a cross between human and dragon, and their true form. Their True form is three times the size of Gielinorian Dragons.

Tori: A race of Humanoids with Avian features. They have hollow bones, air sacs within their bodies, and a slightly altered muscular/skeletal structure and wings. Their society is based in another realm. The religious leaders of the tori seem to have powers amongst the tori. blessings one might say. In actuality it is items that are given and passed down through them. Their hollow bones make them vulnerable to attacks, but can easily dodge and move quickly.
Cazadors: A race of bug-like humanoid creatures created by the Corrupted Maker Zyfax on the world of Dri’Agato, long before he interfered in Gielinor. They were created to destroy Dri’Agato, and when they succeeded, a large number fled to Gielinor. They have been breeding in deep caves and have actually made a city far underground. They are very tough fighters, their jet-black skin is like natural armor, they have pincers that jut from their humanoid cheeks that can inject a paralyzing venom and spit a corrosive one. Their weakness is that in the years their race has spent building underground, they are weak to bright light. They are also very slow, which makes up for their incredible durability.

Lobotons: A race of intelligent undead creatures that have their brains in tanks and their body is made of solid steel. Their eyes are blue magical photoreceptors on their chests. They were created by an archaic group known as Scientific Chaos, but weren’t activated until the war broke out. They are a fast race, and quite powerful. But they have two major weaknesses. One, their brain is completely visible to be destroyed, and two, they only have the one photoreceptor that can easily be blinded. They are immensely strong and fast, and their durability is high. They can fly with air runic symbols along their legs and can shoot fire blasts from the fire runes imbedded in their palms. They also have wrist-blades and usually carry large swords.
Helkhines: A seal-like humanoid race that lives far in the Wilderness, thanks to Note Ballad’s efforts. They have a steady trade with the Fremenikk and Morytania. Helkhines are able to breath underwater and are very agile and fast fighters. However, they are not very durable and they are about as strong as humans. They also are rather goat-ish in the fact that they eat just about anything they can.
Fe-Das: An ancient, ancient race that were known as the best metalsmiths in history. They were grey-skinned with red eyes and spines all over their bodies, they were also generally short and stocky. The Corrupted Maker, Zyfax, created a copy of the race thousands of years after they went extinct in the First God War. The copy was created by combining dwarves and Dagganoths and then placing a small amount of his power into them. They were not as impressive or intelligent as their namesakes, but much more ruthless and powerful. They could now control metal, and had the dagganoth’s ability to launch spines from their bodies. They were also extremely strong and quick, but their durability is surprisingly similar to a dwarves. They are slightly more thick-skinned than humans, but not enough to really protect them from major harm.

Ythrians: Humanoid creatures with dark skin and completely white eyes. They have a random assortment of horns on their head, with the males having two large ones around the same place a demon would. They were a group of humans exposed to a hole in the universe. It changed their appearance and granted them slight manipulation over space, allowing them to teleport without much strain. They do not live to ages over 40, and are highly weak to poison.
Tulean: They are a race that resemble humans, but are able to will themselves to stop aging at a certain point. They also usually have a power that boosts their attributes, for example speed, strength, durability, etc. They have underground organizations under pretty much every major city. They develop tech of their own that is well-sought after. Their main difference in appearance from humans is that they are marked with a black semicircle on their ankles.They are often discriminated against by humans.
Shu’ur: A parasitic race that is born from a mind of a being corrupted by darkness. They are not necessarily evil, but are hated by society due to their origins. They were discovered by Crast Ares Debollo in the years precursing the Second God War. They are immune to poison and disease, and can live without aging. They have also been heavily discriminated against in the past 20 years. They are obvious by the black semicircles on their right hands.

Saa’Venari: One of three sub-species of Venari, Saa'Venari are tall, light and agile. They have pale skin, only a shade lighter than that of a Vampyre, and all have amber or green cat's eyes. Any hair is commonly black, and nearly all have a small pair of straight horns protruding from their forehead. Saa'Venari worship Saa, the Venari diety of concealment, shadow and preservation. Saa'Venari, although resembling humans, have enhanced hearing, sight, allowing them to see well in the dark, and smell, including an innate ability to sense magic. They are uncanny hunter-trackers and scouts, and most employ stealth tactics to dispatch an enemy. They have a severe reaction to loud, reverberating noises if they are too close, such as the ringing of a church bell. Such sounds cause them to collapse into spasms of pain as the brain goes haywire. Although most recover thereafter, a few suffer from brain tumours which are ultimately fatal. All species of Venari hail from Espadorr, a plain locked in perpetual twilight save for a mere three hours of daylight. Espadorr consists mostly of swamps, forests and jungles. Saa'Venari react wel to other Saa'Venari, and often greet each other by scraping their horns together gently. Mates or lovers usually greet each other by nuzzling noses. Saa'Venari do not react well to Ko'Venari, whom they warred with on Espadorr.

Unnamed: A silhouette would be a fairly accurate description; simply a canvas of a man - lacking in any features. Alteration of body shape is an ability they develop quickly, fairly straight forward as to what it means. As they grow older, they also learn quite fun ways of manipulating this, going as far as to suffocate people by entering the target's throat. This ability makes them highly resistant to physical attacks. Arrows and swords may cut through them, but they repair this damage with little difficulty. However they are substantially weak to certain kinds of magic - primarily lightning. They seem to have been first spotted in caves, though it's unsure where they came from originally. Friendly to their kin, they're strangely unified. Their reactions to other races depends on past experiences with said races. They came, they ate, they grew.

Ko’Venari: Like the Saa'Venari, the Ko'Venari are pale-skinned and tall.
Instead of amber or green cat eyes, the Ko'Venari's corrupted nature has led them to have smouldering red eyes, a more muscular build, and sharp fangs. They have no horns like the Saa'Venari. Ko'Venari lack the enhanced eyesight of Saa'Venari, though they share the same enhanced hearing. Ko'Venari are less agile, but just as quick as the Saa', and most possess a unique telekenetic ability to manipulate the air.
Like the Saa', the Ko'Venari are weak to loud, reverberating sounds, that will paralyse or cripple them for a time.
Rather than being trackers or hunters like Saa'Venari, the Ko' are considerable ambush predators. Come from Espadorr, same as the Saa'Venari. Ko'Venari are more brutal than their Saa' kin. They have no complex greeting system, simply acknowledging a fellow Ko'Venari's presence. When faced with a Saa'Venari outside the field of battle, a Ko'Venari will simply refuse to acknowledge the other's existence. Ko'Venari are mostly confident in their abilities, and will openly taunt other races they know they can take. They will often amuse themselves by insulting a well-known enemy about their fears, insecurities and worries. The Ko'Venari were once as proud and as noble as their Saa'Venari bretheren, happy in their blissfully ignorant worship of Ko', the Venari patron of death and hunger.
Once Ko spoke to his followers, he spoke of how the Saa' and Kai' Venari thought themselves superior.

----Non-Playable Races----
-These are races that usually consist of races that are either too powerful to be played but still exist in Otherworld, or are just more beastial races.
Planeswalker: Extremely powerful immortal beings that are adept at magic, only two are known to exist currently.
Reaper: Serving races that are usually bound to a being, they cannot die and can do basically anything. Only three are known to exist on Gielinor
Mahjarrat: Extremely powerful magical beings, several still exist, but they are starting to decline in number due to their own cockiness. One of them leads a cult to Zaros in the far northern lands that fought in the Second God War, the rest have been rather quiet for the past 40 years after the last ritual.
Strigoi: Expert night predators that prey on any race unfortunate enough to not be able to defend themselves. They are notable by their bloodcurdling high-pitched screams that act as their hunting call. They have leathery black skin, beady yellow eyes, and 6-inch serrated claws. Their mouths consist of one row of serrated shark-like teeth and one row of needle-like teeth in front of them. They hunt in packs, but if one of their number is injured it is quickly cannibalized to save time on the pack’s part. They are capable of scaling almost any surface and are immune to energy or magic-based attacks due to their hide. This hide is also often used as armor for archers and other non-magic users.

Lazarus: Jungle-dwelling predators that hunt in packs, they have the bodies of lizards, but their tails have massive pincers on the end for holding prey. Their tails also have the capability to extend quite far and quite quickly, these tails being their main tool for catching prey. They, like the Strigoi are capable of climbing almost any surface due to their gecko-like appearance and traits, they also have a paralyzing venom that works for 15 hours that they inject through their mouth. These creatures are usually milked by the natives for their venom but are also known to be killed for their hide, like strigoi, but this is due to its durability against attacks in general, these creatures are only weak in the mouth and eyes.
The Leviathan: A massive sea-monster the length of three football fields, its mouth big enough to swallow galleys whole. It is the apex predator of the sea, and is responsible for 90% of Gielinor’s shipwrecks. It is said that the Leviathan is an Arch-Demon cursed by a demoness to be stuck in its shape forever. It is actually able to manipulate water to some extent, and shoots it like dragon breath from its mouth in a pressured burst. Its skin is rock-hard and immune to most forms of attack. It is called by some sailors the King of the Western Seas, as it is immortal and only has been reported to be in the Western Hemisphere of Gielinor.
Kraken: Giant squids, they usually stick to the deep ocean, but occasionally surface to hunt prey. They are notorious hoarders of treasure, almost like the Dragons of the sea. They hoard magic items especially, and are known to keep them in their mouth for safe-keeping

Stone Toads: These are massive toads that greatly resemble rocks. They hunt larger animals mainly. When an unfortunate being walks by, it opens its mouth and sends a three-pronged tongue at them. It quickly entangles the prey and snaps it back into the Stone Toad’s mouth. After that it doesn’t need to swallow, as its mouth doubles as a stomach, its saliva having a digestive compound that breaks down its prey as it’s still alive. Its digestive juices seem to heal its tongue if the tongue is damaged by the prey.
Liopleurodon: A massive prehistoric ocean predator that often competes with the Kraken for sources of food. They are usually docile to humans and normally don’t even notice them. Google Liopleurodon for a picture, they were in the Walking With... Series from BBC America.
