Races

This page is a list-in-progress of all the races present in Death Dungeon. In this case, race refers to any species of life that is both sentient and capable of communicating with humans- in other words, a species that can theoretically be played as a player character. Any beasts, animals, or entities that do not meet this level of intelligence are excluded.

## Common Races

Dargonoids are humanoid dargons. They originate from somewhere in Soryan.

### Dark Elf

Dark elfs are elves with dark skin that are inclined towards black magic. They originate from the eastern peninsula of Parada known colloquially as the Dark Lands.

### Dwarf

Dwarves are stout humanoids who live under the earth. They originate from the mountain city of Gruheir, and allegedly have a chain of underground cities.

### Elemental

### Goblin

Goblins are small vaguely humanoid creatures that live in the far reaches of the known world after being spurned by humans.

### Golem

Golems are artificial constructs designed to be vaguely humanoid, and to follow the instructions of their masters. Although they are artificial intelligence, many are realistic enough to be considered sentient.
