Humanoid
Humanoids are a type of bipedal creature that can be frequently found throughout Baldur's Gate 3. They are the most common creature type, and include all playable races.
“A collection of bipedal races, ranging from humans, elves, and halflings to goblins, gnolls, and kobolds.„
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Humanoids primarily consist of non-monstrous, bipedal and intelligent creatures. They have two legs, two arms, a torso and a head. Many humanoids are civilised and social creatures, though some are less so.
Types of humanoids[edit | edit source]

“Hairy humanoids that crave carnage and treasure in equal measure.„
Bugbears are tall, hairy humanoids related to goblins that thrive in the heat of battle. They can usually be found working with other goblins.

“Feral, hyena-like humanoids that slaughter indiscriminately in an attempt to quell the insatiable hunger of their demonic creator, Yeenoghu.„

Goblin[edit | edit source]
“Weak, selfish humanoids. Though they often serve stronger races, they crave power and abuse what authority they obtain.„
Goblins are small humanoid creatures that often live in underground caverns in large numbers. They aren't the brightest or strongest creatures around, however their numbers, proficiency with weapons, and general sneakiness can make them dangerous.

Hobgoblins are larger, stronger versions of Goblins and share many features, except for their deep red skin.

Kobold[edit | edit source]
“Clever but craven reptilians that overcome their physical ineptitude by banding together.„
Kobolds are very similar to goblins except they resemble small scaley lizards that stand on two legs. Like goblins, they aren't especially intelligent or strong but they are very crafty, and specialize in traps and ambushing.
