Species

There are a great many species appear in The Hotel and the surrounding areas, as well as many variations of Human and Human+. The various species, as well as how often they may be encountered are to be listed here. For sentient species only, no pets please. Many have their own pages with more detailed information.

Also check out Types of Beings in the Sub Sen universe for a more generalized list of beings, ordered via power structure.

Andalites

A superior, technologically advanced race of telepathic creatures similar to a mixture of a deer, centaur, human, and scorpion. Their fur ranges from blue to purple, the have a deer-like body with the upper body on top similar to that of a human's. They have seven fingers on each weak hand, no mouth, three vertical slits in their face for a nose, and two sets of eyes, one pair of almond-shaped eyes on their face like a human, and the other pair on top of two stalks on top of their head. At the end of their deer-like body is a long, muscular and agile curve tail, the end of which sits a deadly, glaive-like blade.

Angels

Warriors of peace, justice and many things good, they're a rare sight. Masters of holy power, to receive a blessing from one is a sure sign of greatness. Be warned--they can come in various forms, several of which can be frightening to behold, and not all of them have your best interest at heart.

Barghest

Horrifying wolfen fiends and shape-shifters who wander the worlds to feed upon souls.

Cybermen

This species evolved from men who wanted to "upgrade" themselves into immortality, and require others to "upgrade" as well. Run before you're deleted!

Demon Species

To say that "there are more species of demons than you can shake a stick at" is putting it lightly. There are tons of species, generally deriving from their place of origin. Start hoping you don't piss them off, lest you get eaten, killed, or what-have-you.

Cubus

A collective name for Succubi and Incubi, these demons are largely known for having sexual relations with Humans and feeding from the energy produced during such activity.

Fallen Angel

As the name plainly states, these are former angels who, for one reason or another, are now a type of demon. Most are still capable of utilizing holy power, albeit not to the extent that they once held as angels.

Youkai

Mythological creatures of Japanese folklore, they're considered a type of demon. Some of the visitors from Gensukyo are Youkai.

Daleks

A warrior race protected with uber-tech and engineered to be emotion and happiness-free, they are one of the most feared species in the universe. Run for the hills if you haven't been exterminated yet.

Denobulan

There is 1 Denobulan (Tamili) currently living on Earth, and she currently resides in The Hotel.

Dragons

Chromatic

The chromatic dragons are black, blue, green, red, and white; they are all evil and extremely fierce.

Metallic

The metallic dragons are brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver; they are all good, usually noble, and highly respected by the wise.

Pernese

The Hotel was host to a Pernese dragon for the better part of a year before she and her rider returned home. This canon is not open to new characters.

Dragon Incarnation

Exceptionally powerful beings/concepts that have been around the duration of multiple universes, and often are immune to certain categories of attack.

Eanite

Former Race that once inhabited The World of Ea. Eanites were pale skinned humanoids with long pointed ears, eyes with the various red and yellow colors of fire, and hair colors reflecting various greens and blues of Earth's oceans. The race was destroyed along with their planet. Tohtah Rhea is the only known survivor.

Elves

There are many types of elves which visit The Hotel. Hopefully their players will add information here.

Azerothian Elves

None of these kinds of elves have visited the hotel... yet. Their inclusion is purely for encyclopedic purposes. It should be noted all Azerothian elves have long eyebrows that extend past either side of their head.

Night Elves

Known as "kaldorei" (Children of the stars) in their own language. They are the original elves though they actually evolved from Trolls and have similar, sideways pointing, long ears. They have purple or blue skin and hair of shades of green, blue, purple or white. They tend to be taller and more muscular then your standard elf, while the men often have large beards. They are Nocturnal and have a druidic culture that reveres nature and their Moon Goddess Elune, and until recently had a ban on arcane magics. This was caused by the fall out of a cival war 10,000 years ago, brought about by their magic using noble cast, the Highborne, lead by the Night Elvin Queen Azjara, summoned the Burning Legion to Azeroth. The Nightborne were defeated but the fallout from the war led to the Supercontinent of Kalimdor being sundered into 4 major landmasses and many islands. A handful of Highborne managed to survive in exile until present day, whereupon shortly after the cataclsym, they rejoined the Night Elvin society due to changing view on magic brought about by the Night Elves' allies. Until recently, they were immortal, in the sense they did not age, which was lost in the finale of the Third War when their World Tree, Nordrassil It is unknown their current lifespan though formerly immortal elves can be thousands of years old. (Many elves including their leaders were born 10,000 years ago.) They speak Darnassian.

Nightborne, Nightfallen, Withered, Faldorai, Felborne

When the world was sundered 10,000 years ago, a group of Highborne choose to hide themselves away in a magical shield in the city of Suramar, instead of joining with their resistance allies. This shield stood for 10,000 years. During this time, food in the city inevitably ran low, causing the elves to turn to their source of magic, the Nightwell, for sustenance. This slowly changed them into the Shal'dori, or Nightborne and became physically dependent on Arcwine produced by the Nightwell. Compared to night elves they are are much thinner and have exclusively dark purple skin with white hair. Sadly their current leadership has agreed to side with the same Burning Legion they opposed before the shield and those that disagree are cast from the city, and cut off from the Arcwine, turning them into Nightfallen. Nightfallen look like haggard Nightborne and are characterized an unending hunger for Mana. While this state is reversible, a continued lack of mana will turn them into withered, mindless husks that act on instinct, hunting down mana and flesh animals or people to try and sate their hunger. During the Nightfallen stage, a Nightborne's skin will start turning grey and their features become ragged. Consuming the fruit of the Arcendor, combining ancient druidc magics with the raw arcane layline energies, will permanently remove the dependence on arcwine from a Nightborne, return a Nightfallen to normal and prevent further withering. A withered however cannot be saved as far as is known. Faldorai are a race of half-spider, Half-Nightborne creatures created from the energies of a failed Arcendor. Conversely, Fel magic can be used instead, transforming the Nightborne into a felborne, giving them a green tint to their skin, and glowing green eyes. All known felborne are members of the Burning Legion and are largely presumed dead with the legion's defeat. Following said the defeat, the Nightborne have opted to join Horde, due to their similar history with the Blood Elves, and general mistrust from their Night Elf cousins. Unlike their Blood Elvin cousins who desperately sought to restore the Sunwell after it's destruction by the Scourge, the Nightborne opted to destroy the Nightwell and ween their people off the need for magic using Arcendor fruit.

High Elves

AKA The Quel'Dori in their own (High elf in their language, Thalassian, Children of Noble Birth in Darnassian ). An offshoot of the Night Elves. They came about when the magic using noble class, the Highborne, was banished after losing a civil war. They went across the sea and founded a new Kingdom, Quel'thelas and created the Sunwell, a source of magical energy that had the side effect of changing them into high elves. They can have a variety of eye colors but blue is most common. They pretty much resemble your normal elf. Sadly 90% of the species was killed by the undead scourge about a decade or so ago, and of the remaining 10%, only 10% of that number (IE 1% of the original amount) are still High Elves, the rest becoming Blood Elves.

Blood Elves

An offshoot of the High Elves (noticing a trend here?). Called the Sin'dori (literally "Blood Elves"). Originally just the High Elf people with a new name to remember the fallen in the war with the scourge, they became a different race after being tainted by fel magic. They resemble High elves but with darker skin tones, almost always green (due to the fel taint) or gold (Due to Light energies from the Sunwell), and possibly Black or red hair. They inherited the kingdom of Quel'thalas. They have a known magic addiction they must keep in check and disagree with remaining high elves on philosophical grounds. Originally they turned to draining arcane and fel magic to sate this addiction, after the war in Outland, their beloved Sunwell was reignited, allowing them to passively absorb it's new mix of Arcane and Light based magic from anywhere on Azeroth. Blood Elves make up 9% of the original high Elven population (before their near extermination).

Wretched And Felblood Elves

Wreched are Blood or High elves that have fallen to their addiction to magic. Their bodies are withered and gaunt, and look much like the elf version of a drug addict (and act like it). Felblood Elves are Blood Elves that have drunk deep of fel magics and become demons themselves, with red or black skin, small bat wings, tiny horns and red or green eyes.

Void Elves

Also known as Ren'Dori, Void elves are an offshoot of the Blood Elves. Tainted by the corruptive energies of Void Magic, these former Blood Elves have banded together under the leadership of the prodigal Alleira Windrunner and returned to the Alliance. Much like the change from High to Blood, the change in race is marked by a physical change; their skin becomeing a shade of grey, their hair becomeing black or purple, and sprouting tendrils from within their hair.

Satyrs, Naga, Harpies, Keepers of the Grove and Dryads

Off shoots of the Night Elves under various conditions. Nagas a race of snake people that no longer resemble elves. They are followers of former night elf queen Azjara, who along with her court, were lost under the sea when the supercontinant exploded thousands of years ago during the night elf civil war. The origins of Harpies are disputed, be it followers of a night elven bird god, women cursed by the former queen, or not actually being related to night elves, despite looking like a mix of a female night elf and a bird. Satyr are Night elven men that have become demons via pacts with the Burning Legion. They resemble traditional Satyrs with the upper body of a night elf. All known satyr appear male, complete with male chests and beards even though in one recorded case the original elf was a woman. Keepers of the Grove, and their female counterparts, Dryads, are not actually elves, though at a glance they appear to be night elves with the body of a deer or stag from the waist down (giving them a frame akin to the well known Centaur keepers also have antlers, and on occasion root like arms). They're actually descended from the Night Elven demi-god Cenarius who takes a similar form. He is said to be the child of Elune and a stag, Malone. Crystalline Dryads and Frost Dryads, suited for colder climates but less resembling elves, are also known to exist.

Banshees, Spectres, Undead Elves, Elvish Ghosts, and Darkfallen

Various types of undead Elf Not actually a sub-species but listed for completeness. Banshees are the ghosts of Night Elven women. Their wails are periceing and they can possess the living. A species of similar but male elven ghosts have been found in the Broken Isles called Spectres. Undead elves are just that, elves that are undead, They tend to look like the rotting corpses of an elf. The Banshee Queen, Slyvanas Windrunner, is a undead high elf with the ablties of a banshee due to being raised as the latter before recovering her body. Undead Elves are the only race to become Dark Rangers, as members of the Forsaken (with a single undead human exception). Night Elf Death Knights can be found in the Alliance while Blood Elf Death Knights can be found in the Horde. Elf ghosts are just that, elf ghosts. Darkfallen are a unique type of Undead Blood elf that feed on blood, akin to vampire. Aside from two, all known members were male, and had black skin and white hair, due to decay. Their ears resembled the wings of bats and they had white eyes. Their Queen and her daughter had blue skin and large wings. They are also known as vampyr.

Demon Hunters

Not actually a sub-race, they are Night or Blood Elves that have become tainted with demonic energies to "Fight fire with fire" and as such growing horns and having spiked or rocky skin, in addition to ritually removing their eyes in favor of demonic vision and inscribing their bodies with fel tattoos.

Dark Elves

Also known as the Drow, these malevolent beings have jet-black skin, white hair, and are total social Darwinists who are unapologetically wicked (however, exceptions exist).

Tanar'ri are devious and cunning, driven to maintain an upper hand in a universe that has largely sought to keep them at the brink of extinction. Currently, the Tanar'ri are universally infected with a bio-engineered disease called "Isha's Eternal Lament" that prevents the vast majority of them from successfully procreating, keeping their overall population low.

Morrigan Aensland is a member of the Tanar'ri species.
