Mythic humanoids are mythic creatures that are human-like or half human. Since long ago people have been compelled to imagine magical and monstrous versions of themselves. Whether it be the result limited human imagination, representing humanities fractured nature, deep set pride in humanities worth, or pure wishful thinking, one thing is clear. We love our magical look-alikes.

Human imagination continues to be filled with visions of bloodthirsty vampires, merciful elves, and freakish goblins. Now you too can indulge yourself.

The multitude of mythic humanoids can be divided into four categories.

Categories of Mythic Humanoids

Human Skinned Humanoids

These humanoids can pass unnoticed in human society. Their ears may be slightly misshaped, their eyes may not line up, or their height may not measure up, but their difference in appearance can be attributed to genetic mistakes or mutation.

Monster Skinned Humanoids

Portions of these humanoids are clearly not of human make. Drastic differences in skin colour, eye type, scales and fur, claws and tails. The average person would find them quite unpleasant and untrustworthy because they are not all human.

Monstrous Humanoids

These humanoids instil fear and revolution. They may walk, talk, and think like a human, but they are

Temporary From Humanoids

These are creatures that may temporarily disguise or transform into a human shape, but will ultimately be exposed as being less than human.
