7) RACES
¤
This chapter is about the various races in the multiverse. For a complete list of races, I highly recommend going to the article List of races on the (unofficial) RuneScape Wiki. Only the more significant ones shall be covered here, so no random monsters or birds. Note: the names between brackets are known individuals of that race; (TNTL) stands for "too numerous to list."

This section may well be expanded upon in the future, hence the many reserves.


7.1) Humanoid races
¤
Humanoids are described as being similar to humans in their anatomy.

Auspah – Intelligent race with fire-based powers that was on Gielinor in the Second Age. (Char)

Aviantese – Intelligent race of avian creatures from Abbinah with long life spans, active during the Second and Third Age on Gielinor. (Armadyl, Gee'ka, Geerin, Kilisa, Kree'arra, Skree, Taka'ra, Taw'paak)

Cyclopes and cyclossi – Large one-eyed human-eating giants from the Wushanko Isles with disproportional limbs. (Mono)

Dwarves – Short, bulky people living on Gielinor since the First Age, incapable of magic and excellent miners and smiths living underground since the God Wars, with a maximum lifespan of approximately two centuries. (TNTL)

Elves – Tall, graceful people from Tarddiad living on Gielinor since the First Age, use crystal for all purposes, divided in clans based on family and with a lifespan of many centuries if not millennia. (TNTL)

Fairies – Small, flying magical creatures from Zanaris who control the weather, amongst other things. (TNTL)

Fayrg{** - Extinct ogre/ourg crossbreed created by Bandos, active on Gielinor in the Second and Third Ages.

Giants – Very large, brutal and largely unintelligent race with various subspecies named after what they are made of or, in case of hill giants, resemble. (Andre, Glod, Malvern) Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.
