Disambig icon This article is about a list of sapient species. For horse races, see Horse racing.

Race typically pertains to civilized, humanoid beings, like humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings, particularly in the Northern Kingdoms. However, this is a rather narrow scope as other intelligent beings exist that may or may not be humanoid, like dryads, unicorns, higher vampires, merpeople, dragons, and trolls. However, because many of these are either considered less intelligent or not human enough to humans, many classify them as beasts or monsters. This classification also pertains to witchers who many perceive as a separate "race" due to their mutations, even though they come from humanoid backgrounds, like human or elf.

Humans and elves are able to interbreed, creating half-elves and quarter-elves. The two races are also used by dryads for procreation purposes to father more dryads.

Notes[]

  • In Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni, the word "race" is used to refer to playable creatures - humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, witchers, and dryads.
  • In The Witcher, the only playable character is the witcher Geralt. Witchers are arguably a race unto themselves, but the word "race" is used mainly to distinguish humans from nonhumans. Races mentioned include elves, dwarves, gnomes, werebbubbs, and vrans.
