A unique animal averaging at adulthood five to six feet in height and an average of 140 to 230 lbs in weight. Two different sexes of humans have been observed. They are referred to by these humans as either 'male' or 'female', each one having different physical traits. They have a keen sense of superiority to other living creatures (including themselves at times). This sense of superiority is usually expressed in inappropriate ways, most prominent being the slaughter of said creatures. These humans usually operate in communities and societies but some choose to live in solitude, usually in a remote areas. The best way to defeat them is through either creative wit or excessive brute force. Their lack of scales, fur, and other protective devices leave them vulnerable to the latter, while narrow-mindedness leave them vulnerable to the former. Frequent activities include the following: warring, feasting, drinking and reproduction, and at times, more intellectual efforts such as painting, writing, and music making. If one comes into contact with a human, friendly communication is the best option. If the response from the human is hostile, then prepare either for a verbal joust or a physical confrontation. Because of the relatively slow speed of humans, if one wanted to avoid battle, one should attempt to run away.

When fighting, humans are frequently armed with things from arrows and swords to large rock firing mechanisms. When armed, they should be approached with caution as they most likely have violent intentions.
