->'''Challenge Rating:''' 21
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil

One of the five progenitor races of the Forgotten Realms, the sarrukh once ruled the continent of Faerûn before a variety of factors led to their decline. They created most of the world's intelligent reptilian creatures to act as their servants.

In 3rd edition they can touch a reptilian creature and modify it in practically any way they see fit, including (but not limited to) boosting its ability scores, giving it extra limbs or a radically different body structure, or granting it supernatural powers.
* NoSelfBuffs: The touch of a sarrukh can transform another reptilian being in any way that the sarrukh sees fit, but it has no effect on the sarrukh itself or others of its kind.

[[folder:Unspeakable Horror]]
The domains of dread are not the only horrors within Ravenloft. Lurking in the mists are numberless unspeakable things, the remnants of dissolved domains or the half-formed ideas of the Dark Powers. While they usually are naught but whispers, they sometimes take shape. Horrid, unnatural shape.

[[folder:Bruja]]
->'''Classification:''' Monstrous Humanoid (3E)\\
'''Challenge Rating:''' 4 (3E)\\
'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
Though the Demiplane of Dread is a place of horror and madness, it paradoxically is also home to perhaps the strangest race of hag, one who is truly and sincerely benevolent.

* GoodCounterpart: Unusually for a creature from ''Ravenloft'', which normally has creatures that are an EvilCounterpart to an ordinarily-good monster, Bruja are hags that decided to turn good for whatever reason. It is said to stem from a curse that befalls some hags, which shows them the time and manner of their own death. This haunts them so badly that it leads them to develop a sense of compassion, and to seek to aid others in order to atone for their own misdeeds. Other stories instead claim bruja are the results of hags deciding, for whatever reason, to pursue a more positive maternal side, rearing their daughters with full awareness of what will happen to them when they come of age, instead of leaving them to make their way through the trauma of their transformation into hags on their own.
* GoodIsNotNice: While they are good-aligned by default, they are still hags. They tend to be arrogant and egotistical, and those who wrong them are likely to end up as the bruja's dinner.

[[folder:Dullahan]]
The remnants of those who let vengeance consume them, the Dullahan haunt the places they were slain, butchering innocents in the search for their decapitated head.

* FlyingFace: The Dullahan can summon three Death's Head, one that bites, one that rams and one that petrifies.
* HeadlessHorseman: Headless riders that run around and murder innocents.
* HellishHorse: While they are not mentioned in the Dullahan's statblock, the illustration shows the dullahan riding a nightmare.

[[folder:Necrichor]]
Undead formed from the ichor of evil gods or the sludge left behind by failed liches. Necrichors are living blood animated by cruel souls.

->'''Classification:''' Construct (3E, 5E)\\
'''Challenge Rating:''' 1 (3E, 5E)\\
'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
Dolls brought to life by the Dark Powers as answers to the wishes of the lonely. Like everything touched by the mists, however, carrionettes are far from friendly. They desire real bodies, and do so through their silver needles, which lets them swap souls with a victim.

* AndIMustScream: Once a carrionette has taken over someone's body, they lock that person's soul in their old toy shell, usually locking that toy in a box somewhere and forgetting about them.
* CreepyDoll: Though they can technically be any kind of toy, carrionettes are usually dolls, and they revel in committing murder while using the body of some poor schmuck.
* GrandTheftMe: Carrionette can swap their souls with a victim, using their silver needle.

->'''Classification:''' Dragon (3E)
->'''Challenge Rating:''' 2-24 (3E, varies with age category)

Song dragons, first described in 2nd Edition as weredragons, are a species of relatively small dragons that spend most of their time in the form of comely human women.

* ArtEvolution: The 2E weredragon is wingless and serpentine, with a very long tail. The 3E song dragon is instead winged, and largely resembles a smaller copper dragon with silvery scales.
* BigEater: When presented with food, song dragons eat voraciously and prodigiously, despite never seeming to put on weight.
* BlackWidow: In 2nd Edition, weredragons provide for themselves by marrying rich suitors and then killing them.

* ShockAndAwe: A song dragon's breath weapon is a cone of electrified gas.
* {{Weredragon}}: They're defined by their ability to assume the form of human women and their love of integrating into human society, and were simply called "weredragons" in their original appearance. They are not, however, true werecreatures in-universe.

* OrganicTechnology: The daelkyr created many symbionts, living organisms which bond to another creature and act as tools or equipment. Examples include the [[WhipItGood tentacle whip]] and the [[BioArmor living breastplate]]. These symbionts are often superior to their inorganic, non-magical equivalents, but often carry nasty drawbacks like being [[ClingyCostume difficult to remove]] or attempting to brainwash their wielders.

* UncannyValley: InUniverse. The izzet mechanics gave it a humanoid facemask, but it makes people more freaked out than comforted.

[[folder:Kender]]
A race of small, elf-like humanoids native to Krynn, kender are similar in some ways to the halflings of other worlds, and yet in others are very different.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Well, "Cuteness Equals Goodness", but the same principle applies. The fact that kender are so childlike and cute is pointed out as part of their fundamental goodness and why they are an important part of the world around them.
* BerserkButton: Don't call a kender a thief. It's one of the few things that makes them mad.
* CuriousAsAMonkey: So curious that they examine the contents of other people's pockets.
* CuteCrittersActChildlike: They're small people, and tend to be playful, curious, and lacking in self-preservation. The novels and gamebooks are adamant that this is supposed to be perceived as endearing.
* ChaoticStupid: This is how they're perceived both InUniverse and out; a near-total lack of fear, combined with intense curiosity, a short attention span, and a low tolerance for boredom, means kenders are very prone to doing dangerous things just because they can or because it amused them. There's a reason there's a Krynnish saying that amounts to "the most terrifying sound in the world is a Kender saying 'oops'."
* FearlessFool: The entire race is almost incapable of feeling fear, due to their childlike innocence and playful mirth... at least until Malystryx burned Kenderhome to cinders. A lot of the survivors became "Afflicted", which made them morose, nervous and paranoid. It's not entirely clear whether being Afflicted is purely psychological or partly magical.
* FragileSpeedster: They are small, childlike, dexterous rogues, so naturally they can't take a lot of punishment.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** Kender were literally created by the Hickmans asking themselves "okay, halflings in ''D&D'' 1e are all thieves; why is that? And if that's the case, how can they still be a good race and so hang out with heroic adventurers?" The result was the kender as they are now; a race of fearless, sticky-fingered eternal children who don't mean to be thieves, but who still act like thieves out of their incessant curiosity.
** In a reversal of the usual use of this trope, fans of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' have been known to create house rules to reflect their propensity to pull random crap out of their pockets and pouches. Also, literally their only rule difference to normal halflings relates to their unique abilities, such as taunting and fear resistance.
* {{Hobbits}}: They were designed to fill the same niche as ''D&D'''s halflings, but bear little resemblance to Tolkien's hobbits apart from size.
* {{Hypocrite}}: As mentioned above, kender hate thievery and thieves, but are incapable of keeping out of peoples' homes and pockets. They protest that they always intend to return the things they steal, but that doesn't change the fact that they steal them in the first place.
* InterspeciesRomance: Would you believe they can have children with humans? Because it's true.
* KleptomaniacHero: Kender players are ''encouraged'' to act like this, simply because kender always grab whatever looks interesting and then stick it in their pocket.
* TheLoonie: The game-designer's intention for the kender is for them to be harmless versions of this trope. By canon, kender are supposed to steal interesting knicknacks, like shiny pebbles, chunks of glass, and other bits and bobs that look neat but aren't actually worth anything. Naturally, there are players who seized upon their kleptomanical fluff to both pilfer everything that might be valuable, and to harass the party by stealing anything and everything belonging to other members of the party. Additionally, they are supposed be a race designed for comedic mischief and a good way to keep the game interesting, but other players could instead wind up as disruptive and annoying.
* StickyFingers: This is pretty much their most defining trait, to the point the "typical kender greeting" from other races is to curse at the kender and protectively grab their pockets or pouches.
