Version 0.27: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
In Dungeon Crawl, species selection determines a character's stats, background choices, skill aptitudes, special abilities and equipment options. The game offers 27 different playable species; most are essentially humanoid, although some are human-animal hybrids and a few are even stranger.
Contents

- Gnoll (Gn): A vaguely dog-like humanoid that has incredible aptitudes for all skills, but must train all skills simultaneously.
- Hill Orc (HO): A brutish species related to the cave orcs who can be found all over the Dungeon and in the Orcish Mines. They make excellent warriors and have their own god.
- Human (Hu): The basic species against which all others are measured. They have average aptitudes across the board and no special abilities, but gain levels at the fastest possible rate.

- Tengu (Te): A somewhat fragile bird-like species with a beak, talons, and a propensity for violence, both physical and magical. They eventually learn to fly.
- Troll (Tr): Even larger and stronger than the ogre, with huge claws, regenerative powers, and abysmal aptitude for most skills that aren't clawing foes to death or throwing things.
- Vampire (Vp): A sneaky form of undead which can use blood to switch between their frail-but-resistant natural state and a swift-healing living form. Exceptional at disabling foes, then stabbing them in the back.
