Unicorns and Alicorns
Alignment: Light
Alignment: Light
Creatures of pure light magic. Unicorns and alicorns (their winged and horned counterparts) are rarely seen, and almost always purely white. Unicorns are considered a blessing to see, though to see one during a full moon cycle is considered bad luck. Though, that is a theory. The main downfall of the unicorn is the merciless hunt for their blood that is rumored to heal wounds. That has never been proven, however.
Dwarf
Alignment: Light
Some say they were birthed by stone. Dwarves are hundreds, perhaps thousands of years old. They are experts in mining and crafting weapons, no matter the circumstances. Stone, gold, steel, iron... they seem to make them out of anything. Dwarves are peaceful until you mess with their people. Did I mention they are drunks as well?

Druids
Alignment: Light
Alignment: Light
Humans that, while they cannot use magic like other races, are capable of harnessing nature's energy. Druids must contain the traits in their bloodline, though it does not have to be pure to affect them, only present. However, the more of the bloodline they have, the stronger they are. A Druid's abilties include a green thumb capable of growing plants superior to any others in quality, a natural ability to tell what a plant is and whether it is safe (poison detecting if practiced), and healing that surpasses any of the other Races, though is significantly rivaled by magical treatments. Remember, Druid's can only do what is natural, they are not capable of using strong/real magic.
Centaurs
Alignment: Light
Both horse and human, centaurs are a noble race that are often associated with gryphons. Centaurs are warriors, though only battle when necessary. The centaurs usually live together as a tribe, or are solitary and nomadic. They are mortal just as humans would be. Centaurs typically wield bows, swords, and shields. These beings are mostly identified by their peaceful, diplomatic tendencies.

Fae
Alignment: Chaotic
Alignment: Chaotic
They are neither good, nor bad- they just are. The fae folk are a force to be reckoned with, simply because they are right under our noses! Fae folk may seem innocent and meek, but they far from such a thing... Fairies, sprites, pixies, elves- they are all works of mischief and deception. While they may enjoy your little offerings of candies and sweets... the Fae won't treat you higher than themselves! They are always around you, whether you like it or not. House spirits, nature spirits- they can fit in almost any category, just because... they can!
What may seem to be a gathering of butterflies, may just be a trick of the eye. The Fae inhabit all forms of nature, and at all times. Some will focus on flowers... some will be one with the animals- others will wreak havoc on your pathetic mortal lives. The one thing that will repel these mischievous little minxes, is iron. To attract them, one should offer beer in a bowl under the moonlight... or a little offering of chocolate or simply candies.
Though beware, the Fae will surely stick around forever if you treat them with enough sanctuary... and man, don't the keys and medical supplies seem to disappear at just the right time?
Banshee and Wraiths
Alignment: Dark
Alignment: Dark
They are almost entirely spirits. Wraiths and banshees are entities that mainly terrorize rather than murder. Their screams are at such a high decibel, sometimes only certain people can hear them. They sabotage the mind with terror, distraught, and at times, loneliness. The banshees and wraiths are spirits of the night, and haunt burial grounds or gravesites. Much like demons, holy artifacts contain them.
Merfolk
Alignment: Chaotic
Males are rare in this species. Merfolk are a species of an elegant combination of fish and human. They are said to sing beautiful songs during only a storm, and sailors are attracted to these beautiful women... and never seen again. Merfolk are fairly undocumented, though those who have lived to tell the tale... may feel obligated not to. Fire and bright lights seem to repel these creatures. Merfolk are not as innocent as they may seem... never mistake that beautiful smile for a beautiful soul.
Kelpies
Alignment: Dark
Alignment: Dark
Swamp dwellers, 'sea horses', kelpies are fearsome for their ability to transform into a human and lure travelers into the waters to devour them. There are tales of the horse persuading children to take a ride, and those children are frequently never seen again. Kelpies are man devourers, and should never be taken lightly.
Lycanthrope
Alignment: Dark
The wolf people. Lycanthropes are mortal men and women who have been inflicted with the horrific disease of Lycanthropy. This is a transformation that occurs on full moons... or every night. The disease is spread by the means of the venom of these fearsome beasts, and they are almost never seen unless you delve deep into the woods... surprisingly, many of them are solitary. Lycanthropes are considered deadly at all times, unless threatened with silver. Travelers keep silver trinkets on them to avoid contact with these fearsome, little known beasts.

Demons
Alignment: Dark
Alignment: Dark
The damned. Demons are a force to be reckoned with, though mainly during the night. Though mostly a supernatural, spirit entity, demons can be very detrimental to mostly your mind. Demons come in almost all forms of grotesque appearance. Demons are all deceiving. They will never love, and never show mercy. Holy artifacts repel these otherworldly monsters.
Dragons
Alignment: Neutral
Majestic, reptilian creatures, dragons have inhabited the world for nearly the beginning of time. Some of these winged beasts can be fearsome, while some isolate and hoard their piles of rich treasures beneath their bodies. Dragons can be peaceful, destructive, or simply vile... and it seems many never want to meddle with their affairs. They speak their own ancient, forgotten language, and there are not many left in this world.
Gryphon
Alignment: Light
Gryphons are very noble creatures. A combination of the courageous lion and the free roaming Eagle, gryphons strive for glory and honor among both their species, and the mere mortal humans. Gryphons are mainly solitary, though some may mate for life. Gryphons are considered creatures of Light due to their holy interpretation.
Kitsune
Alignment: Chaotic
The fox spirits with several tails. They can have up to nine, the total number of tails resembling wisdom and power. They typically master the art of shapeshifting at the age of one hundred. Though, this is only a human form. They are rumored to possess superb intelligence and 'magical' power. The zenko/Inari kitsune (good foxes) classification of these spirits are considered the good spirits, and the yako/nogitsune kitsunes (field foxes) are the mischievous, and at times malicious spirits. They each have a precious star ball, and when one takes that star ball, they may have control over the kitsune spirit.
Minotaurs
Alignment: Neutral
Man and bull. The minotaurs are a people that inhabit nature filled areas, and act as a guardian. The reason for their neutral stance is the fact they would defend their land with their life, and without mercy. Minotaurs are usually up to merely seven feet tall. Most possess either black or brown fur.
Satyrs
Alignment: Chaotic
Quite perverse. Satyrs are men with the legs of a goat, and they are either playing their music or flirting with others. They are full of mischief, and tend to play tricks on travelers in the woods by screaming! Satyrs are peaceful... until you cross their path, or challenge them. Well, sometimes they just have bad attitudes, too.
Chimera
Alignment: Neutral
Lion, serpent, and goat, the chimera is a horrific combination of all these animals. Though they appear strikingly fearful, the chimeras usually leave all at peace unless dwelling on their territory. Chimeras have no known special abilities, though they are obviously strong and equipped with claws and teeth. Chimeras are entirely mortal.
Vampire
Alignment: Chaotic
Unable to thrive in light, vampires are demonic creatures that... seem to have way more disadvantages than advantages. Sunlight kills or blisters them in mere minutes, they must feast on blood to sustain their own forsaken life. Vampires are killed by the means of beheading, or a wooden stake through the heart. They may also be slain by iron swords. They are ageless and immortal after the transformation that is proceeded after a bite from these mongrels.
Cyclops
Alignment: Neutral
_(-1-.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120403130455)
Standing at a height of eight feet tall, the cyclops is a one eyed monster. They aren't very intelligent, but they are gifted with strength and endurance. The cyclops is not immortal, however, and can die through the means of injury. Of course, they are much harder to kill.
Goblin
Alignment: Dark
They're worse than the fairies! Goblins are mischievous and dark creatures that seem to like explosives. They are good at engineering, though that may be just about it. Goblins are short and green, and you will see them almost anywhere. They dwell in caves and mines the most... and they are sneaky little bastards.
Manticore
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Feared by even the fiercest warriors, the manticore has paralyzing venom in it's tail. Manticores have the face of a man, the body of a lion, wings of a drake, and the tail of a scorpion. Though not very capable of flying for long periods of time, the manticore is a rather powerful beast. Their venom can be counteracted with snake venom.

Witch
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Witches. They are completely human, but the magic they possess can be rather intimidating. Witches may pick either path they wish; light or dark. They can either spend their time blessing others, or cursing the ones they despise. Though, witches beware of the force of Karma... what you give comes back to you three times fold.
