The benchmark species against which others are compared, '''humans''' play a major, though somewhat inconspicuous role in the far-flung realms of ''Dungeon Crawl''. Aside from a somewhat increased presence as specialized guardians of [[the Vaults]], humans tend to be scattered widely across the [[Dungeon]] and its [[branch]]es, arriving most often as unique, individually-named foes rather than as generic types of monster - they are arguably the one species best represented in this way.
