One of the first decisions you'll make in Fantasy Heroes Unbound is choosing the Species that shapes your hero's journey. Each of the 12 Species in the core rules and 7 Species in the Khromys setting expansion offers its own culture, history, and unique abilities, opening the door to new character concepts and stories.
Here's a brief introduction to four of the Unbound Species.
✅ Anthro
Anthros are as varied as the animal kingdom itself. Inspired by countless creatures, each Anthro develops unique strengths that reflect their heritage. No two are exactly alike, making them one of the most diverse peoples you'll encounter in Fantasy Heroes Unbound. �
✅ Elmin
The Elmin carry the power of the elements within them. Born from the primal forces of creation, they trace their history back to the earliest days of the world. Fire, water, earth, and air shape not only their abilities, but their identity. Ancient, powerful, and deeply connected to the world around them, the Elmin offer a character concept unlike anything found in traditional fantasy.
✅ Mycellan
Mycellan may resemble other humanoids at first glance, but their fungal origins set them apart. Their unique biology has made them the target of those who would exploit them, leading many Mycellan to become adventurers through necessity rather than choice. Resilient, resourceful, and unlike any hero you've played before, Mycellan bring a fresh perspective to every adventure.�
✅ Treeling
Treelings are living embodiments of the forest. Patient, thoughtful, and capable of living for centuries, they prefer diplomacy over conflict. But when their homes or those they protect are threatened, few can match their strength. If you've ever wanted to play an ancient guardian with roots deep in the natural world, the Treeling offers a character unlike any other. If your ideal hero is agile, fierce, clever, or somewhere in between, an Anthro gives you the freedom to create a character that's truly your own.
Every Unbound Species gives you even more ways to build the hero you've always imagined.
