What types of fantasy races are there?
The most common fantasy races are elves, dwarves, and humans. However, there are many other types of fantasy races that can be found in stories and games. Here is a list of some of the other types of fantasy races that you might come across:
- Dragons: These mythical creatures are often feared and revered. They come in many different shapes and sizes, and often have magical powers.
- Giants: These towering creatures are usually friendly, but can be very dangerous if provoked. They often live in remote areas away from humans.
- Merfolk: Half human, half fish, these creatures live in the water but can come on land if they need to. They are often able to breathe both air and water.
- Orcs: These brutish humanoids are usually aggressive and violent.
How do fantasy authors come up with new races to occupy their worlds?
Fantasy authors have to come up with all sorts of races to fill their worlds. Some of them are based on real world cultures, while others are completely made up. Here are some tips for coming up with new fantasy races:
- Think about what sort of role you want the race to play in your story. Do you want them to be the main characters, or just a minor part? What sort of personality do you want them to have?
- Once you have an idea of what you want, start brainstorming names. You can use word generators or just come up with something yourself.
- Once you have a few names, start developing the culture and history of the race. What sort of food do they eat? What is their religion like? What sort of technology do they have? What do they excel at?
