Trivia

 * While this list is a classification of races in YGGDRASIL, the New World inhabitants, specifically humans regard their cousin races: dwarves, elves, etc. as demi-humans.
 * In the English publication of the Light Novel, Demi-Human and Heteromorphic races were translated as Subhuman and Grotesque.
 * In YGGDRASIL, it was possible for a Player to change their race mid-way, but it didn't mean one could switch arbitrarily. One needed to fulfill several conditions and the change would be irreversible.
