Creature Type

Every creature, including every player character, has a tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature it is. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. These are the game’s creature types:

Aberration Elemental Monstrosity Beast Fey Ooze Celestial Fiend Plant Construct Giant Undead Dragon Humanoid

The types don’t have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways.
