D&D 5e SRD · Creature Type

Humanoid monsters

26 humanoid creatures from the SRD 5.2.1, CR 0 through CR 12. Sorted from lowest CR to highest, each with a clickable stat block and tactics for running it as an ally or an adversary.

What Humanoid monsters have in common

Creature types have no rules of their own in the SRD, but some rules treat certain types differently.

  • Charm Person, Hold Person, and Dominate Person target only Humanoids, so a single failed Wisdom save can take one of these foes out of the fight.
  • Most player characters are Humanoids too, so these stat blocks double as rival adventurers and NPCs.

Across the 26 humanoid stat blocks here, 1 of 26 has Darkvision, none can fly, and all 26 speak or understand at least one language.
