Which of These Fantasy Races Are You?
When it comes to fantasy races, we all have our favorites. We may prefer humans, elves, trolls, or nymphs when we’re in the middle of a story full of dungeons, dragons, and other common fantasy tropes. Or maybe we have a favorite character we like to play during a game.
But which of these fictional races from fantasy and folklore would you be in an alternate reality? Are you a secret orc? Half-human? Or some other creature? Would you live in the forest? Or among the giants of the desert? Are you among the demons or the angels?
It’s time to shed your humanoid form and embrace the creature you could be. Don’t worry. Your physical form is immaterial. And we don’t like to use the “m” word here. There is no monster so terrible as a human being. So go on. Find the group where you belong. This quiz will reveal your true nature — whether or not you choose to share it with others is up to you.
Fantasy Races
Fantasy races are an integral part of many magical worlds. A person can often pretend to be one of these fantasy creatures in games such as Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft, and The Elder Scrolls.
While humans often play a central role in these fantasy worlds, other magic races frequently flesh out the cast. Elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, and gnomes appear throughout novels, films, and television shows.
A fantasy race often has its own community and views. Writers will sometimes draw from history or various real-world civilizations for inspiration as they craft their species.
