Races

In the Fairy Tail universe, there are various magical and non-magical creatures that inhabit both Earth Land, Edolas and Elentear. These creatures can be classified in various ways such as magical/non-magical, humanoid, insectoid, reptilian or avian etc. Races in general have the ability to further their lifespan by tapping into unique abilities such as Second Origin, Third Origin and Fourth Origin. Other means exist but they are all artificial.

## List

### **Human**

They are a sentient race of Earth Land known to have the capacity of performing magic. Humans are known to been one of the most dominate sentient races in Earth Land and beyond, having higher level intellectual capacity, reasoning, and the power of self-awareness. Unlike other races the Human race is amongst some of the only ones to have ever been able of performing the Unision Raid. Humans from Edolas and Elentear are different from Humans of Earthland, having evolved to function without Magic Power in their own ways.

### **Giant**

As their name suggests, Giants are huge beings, tens of times taller and larger than humans. Giant Magic originates from their race despite that they could never actually use it. Other than their immense strength the Giant race is reputed for the exceptional Craftsmanship.

### **Machias**

Machias are a species of organic metal humanoids that can take on the appearance of humans as well as possess the capability to use Magic. It has been shown that some Machias are capable of changing their appearance to improve their functionality depending on the situation they are presented with.

As a result of their metallurgy derived biology, they are considered to be highly vulnerable to electricity and, thus, lightning-based Magic. However, it is possible for them to become resilient, and, in some cases, even adapt to repel Lightning Magic back at their attacker.

Their functional ophthalmology can be designed to allow them to analyze physical, and even psychological, factors of individuals for offensive and defensive purposes. Furthermore, Machias can be deprived of sensory functions, such as olfactory sensors, which can in turn prove to be beneficial by providing an immunity to poison, for example.

### **Demon**

Demons are a race of magical beings who dwell in Earth Land. Unfortunately, not much information is known about them, other than that Zeref Dragneel experimented on them in order to create the infamous Etherious race. We do however know that demons carry demon particles within them and each clan share a very similar form of demon particles. Demon particles determinate the Clan that each Demon belongs to as well as the Curse that each pf them possess.

### **Etherious**

Etherious is the given name to the subspecies of the Demon race that were created from the books made by the Dark Mage Zeref; all Etherious possess an inborn drive to kill Zeref, established at the genetic level, which is expressed consciously as a feeling to "return to his side. Unlike most Demons, not all Etherious possess wings and they do not all possess Human forms and those who do lose their Human appearance when transitioning into their Etherious Form. Also, in stark contrast to the rest of the living organisms capable of doing so, Etherious, or at least Tartaros Etherious in particular, do not make use of Magic, but rather Curses just like Demons, which run off of Curse Power. Also, various members of the Etherious subspecies have displayed the ability to enter a so-called Etherious Form, in which their appearances change and they gain access to an enhanced set of their already available abilities, something which is dubbed as utilizing the "real power" of the race.

The Etherious can also, at any given time, be transformed back into their book form by their creator, Zeref, and will all cease to exist if he dies.

### **Exceed**

They are a race of cat-like beings that exist in Edolas as far back as 100 years prior to the Fairy Tail Era. Due to Mystogan's Reverse Anima, the entire race was transferred to Earth Land. It was later revealed that the Exceed race also exist in Elentir.

Exceed posses the unique magic referred to as Aera, a magic involving the ability of flight.

### **God**

Gods are a species of magical beings that, according to many, are known to be the strongest among all species in the world, surpassing the previously believed strongest species of Dragons. There were historical instances where the Gods bestowed upon mortals their abilities, such as the famous Battle God Style, the most renowned Fighting Style. There is also Magics that were passed down by the gods such as Anemo Magic, a magic which dwells with the Anemoi. Some other Gods, however, are known to appear when an obligation or a certain method has been fulfilled by a person.

Some Gods are known to be able to inflict curses upon whomever they choose. Carrying supreme Magic Power, such feat can be done regardless of their physical location.

Historically the Gods fought against the Titans for the fate of Earth Land, this event is called Ragnarok. The war lasted thousand of years, during which Alakitacia, Giltena and Ishgar were separated in three halves. Following this war happened the sudden disappearance of the Gods, it was believe that the Gods left Earth Land in order to seal away the Titans but the reason of their departure is only topic of theories.

### **Monster**

As Monsters, their appearance and physical traits do not fall under traditional categories of normal creatures in Earth Land, possessing qualities that horrifically differentiate them from the other races. They are much, much more durable than humans and unimaginably more vicious/ferocious than Etherious and other living creatures. Primarily known for their diet on human flesh, terrorizing cities all across Earth Land, and posing a threat to society, they are considered one of the most dangerous races in the entire world.

The strongest amongst them are known as "Archmonsters" are often associated to Legendary Creatures because of their striking resembles. Despite their looks, Archmonsters are actually extremely dangerous entities not to be messed around with as, historically, a vast majority of extremely powerful mages were slain by them.

Historically speaking the category of supernatural monsters known as the "Yokais" were ghost apparitions that come in all shapes, sizes, and types that could be summoned or simply found in certain locations. Certain abilities could allow individuals to turn humans into Yokais, such abilities have been forbidden and since then sealed away.

### **Titan**

Carrying supreme Magic Power, Titans were massive monsters of humanoid appearance who fought against the Gods over the fate of Earth Land long before the events of the Lost Millennium era. In the end the Gods won and the Titans were sealed away at the bottom of the Underworld.

### **Celestial Spirit**

They are magical beings from their own separate universe, the Celestial Spirit World. Some Mages, called Celestial Spirit Mages due to their specialization in Celestial Spirit Magic, are able to summon Spirits by opening their Gates via the use of Celestial Spirit Gate Keys. These Keys are separated into two classes: the more common Silver Keys and the extremely rare Gold Keys. Keys for Celestial Spirits are counted in Units, and a Celestial Spirit Mage is noted by how many Units they have obtained. All Celestial Spirits are each named after a different astronomical constellation.

### **Angel**

Sacred beings created by the gods who originally were to monitor the mortals. After Ragnarok their only purpose was to keep order in the Skylands through their use of Aether Magic.

### **Dragon**

They were extremely powerful and intelligent creatures that lived in Earth Land. Dragon Gods were tremendously powerful Dragons who had powers matching that of Gods, making them their sworn enemies.

Dragons do not form families like humans, instead when breeding season occurs and later the conception, the newly-born Dragon is then to be raised by the mother Dragon. It is rare, if ever, the offspring Dragon sees the father Dragon again.

Despite their destructive nature, some Dragons have been said to care for humans to the point where they raise orphaned human children as their own. While raising the human, they teach them Dragon Slayer Magic to make the human more like them.

### **Arcane**

Other than that they are from a period before the Lost Millenium and that they came extinct during that same time period, there are no other information about them.
