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.
