Species of Chaldea

S P E C I E S  O F  C H A L D E A

In terms of intelligent life on Chaldea, the bulk of the population is either human or “humanoid.” Humanoids consist primarily of orcs and goblins but also include minotaurs; reptilian humanoids, like kobolds and lizardmen; goblins, including hobgoblins and bugbears; and gnolls and dogmen.

Elves and dwarves are small but highly influential populations due to their long lives. Chaldea is also home to a fair number of giants, including an entire kingdom of their kind. In terms of head count, the number of dragons and their kin is practically a rounding error compared to humans, but due to their immense power it would be inappropriate not to note their numbers as well.

The “Other” category includes aquatic entities, such as tritons and mermaids; constructs, such as golums or homunculi; demons and devils (note that these are not native; their presence in Chaldea is typically the result of some unfortunate mishap); elementals; Greco sylvans, such as centaurs, satyrs, and unicorns; faeries, such as pixies, sprites, and brownies; gnomes; elven kin, such as nymphs, dryads, and nixies; spirits; kin of giant, including ettins, ogres, oni, and the various types of trolls; guardians, such as gargoyles, lammasu, and naga; intelligent steeds, such as Tavyan lions and pegasi; intelligent undead, such as vampires and liches; shapechangers, such as lycanthropes and dopplegangers; servitors, such as the dreaded Drasildar; and other intelligent but difficult to categorize “monsters,” such as yeti, lamia, or medusa.
