Hero race
Hero race is a hidden characteristic of a hero. Although it has no effect on game mechanics, each hero is attributed one of the following races:
00 | Demon |
01 | Dwarf |
02 | Efreet |
03 | Elf |
04 | Genie |
05 | Gnoll |
06 | Goblin |
07 | Human |
08 | Lich |
09 | Lizardman |
0A | Minotaur |
0B | Ogre |
0C | Troglodyte |
0D | Vampire |
11 | Nymph |
12 | Nyx |
13 | Halfling |
14 | Dark Elf |
15 | Gremlin |
Heroes by race
Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of heroes are human, as they are the only race that can be found in every character class. Oddly enough, the elemental heroes and the transformed Mutare Drake hero added in Armageddon's Blade are also considered by the game to be human; probably because the developers did not see a point in adding new races for the expansions when the race had no effect on the game. This extends to various Elementalist heroes which are meant to be available races such as Genies (Aenain, Brissa), Elf (Ciele, Gelare) or Dwarf (Grindan) but are still marked as humans. From the expansion-added heroes, interestingly, Gelu is marked as an elf, but Boragus and Xeron are marked as humans, rather than ogre and demon.
On the other hand, Horn of the Abyss did add a few new races for some of its heroes, namely Cassiopeia, Tark, Henrietta, Wynona, Celestine, Ziph, and Tavin.
The game manuals do provide racial information for each hero from the base game and its two official expansions. However, the manual for Armageddon's Blade mistakenly identifies Xeron as an Efreeti, when he is canonically the son of a succubus and a human knight.
