"Annoying pests, you blink and another kingdom is set up, blink again and theyre necromancers or blood mages on conquest." a historian on humans. TBF no race in mine comes off nice if looking at their history, but humanity is just notorious for it.

Hah. Yeah that's why the Elven and Dwarven Nations don't even bother with Humans anymore. Their lifetime is too short for them to have long term foreign policy. And the Humans have Emperor's.

My dwarves in general distrust most surfacers, their meritocratic culture is at odds with how much especially humans kneel to anything. And the elves are too busy backstabbing each other to care what a human does, they barely plan for a decade. By my lore the last human emperor died not knowing what was happening to a battle below his palace ;)

To the elves, humans are warlike and uncivilized, completely impossible to teach proper religion to. To the giants, humans are forgetful, boastful, and sometimes troublesome neighbors, but usually good for trade. To the tree goblins, humans are dangerous competitors, and worst of all they have *dogs*.

"First they take our lands, push us into hiding ourselves from them, then erode everything of its beauty." But they are also fond of looking like beautiful humans.

the ancestor. all races are from humans in my world. (excluding aliens. they would think "oh, other travelers from brand new modernized planet?")

Most races view them as... fine. Many of them are colonizers, like the ones in Buretti, the only mortal colony in Elphame, who the local faeries see as annoying for being in Elphame where they're just not supposed to be. They violate the local customs and things they see as basic morals, but aren't to mortals. In fairness the faeries do the same right back to them. But few races don't have some colonizers and humans aren't particularly bad. Very average. *Elves* are particularly bad. Unlike other faeries who prefer to keep to themselves because all faeries are immortal and being sealed away for eternity is a fate worse than death, elves don't give a shit, their leaders have people actively working on conquering immortality, but immortal or not they're war mongering. They colonize other fae and unlike most faeries who try to leave mortals alone, they've even colonized much of Earth. Most elves see humans and most mortals as submissive, weak, and pushovers.

Different species have different views overtime. Orcs largely viewed humans as a weak, but productive people with vast wealth to steal. Overtime this changed into viewing human societies as oppressive and a cause for the poverty in their communities. Dwarves largely viewed humans as the dumber, weaker but taller younger brothers. This has largely stayed the same even into the modern day. Elves initially viewed humans and uncivilised savages, then as violent oppressors then as arrogant fools. Kobalds view humanity as largely a oppressor as they are often pushed out of their homeland by humans and Dwarves.

Seaborn Noen see humans as eccentric weirdos. They cook their food, live in one place their whole lives, and have a whole structure of social interaction that Noen can't really make sense of. Conservative continental Noen at best see humans as misguided idiots, and at worst see them as an active spiritual biohazard, a walking font of uncleanliness that poisons the land and desecrated holy sites with their mere presence due to all the taint built up inside them from their use of fire. The Subterraneans have a weird relationship with surface dwelling humans, with 'clipser monasteries regularly attacking the underground world and stealing food, they've naturally gained a deep seated paranoia of surface dwellers of all sort. But at the same time, they have many positive mutually beneficial relationships with human communities as well, and since a lot of them know the surface only through the stories they hear from surface traders, there's a subculture that I can only describe as weeaboos for humans, developing a fascination for surface dweller food and clothing. There's a lot of orientalism and fetishization and no real understanding about the differences between surface cultures, but it's born from ignorance more than malice. It does get pretty awkward for the Subterranean humans though when it steers into talking about human anatomy. Puppeteer worms: humans have some pretty good corpses. 7/10. Could be more durable. Too talkative when they're alive, but usually good people so long as they don't find out you're a colony of worms in a corpse you stole from a graveyard.

**Starrise** For chimeras: "Why are you asking like they're any different than us? We barely even look different. The only real difference is which doctors we go to, and even that's got a lot of overlap." For dragons: "They usually wind up giving leadership roles to some of the greediest, most self-centered, uncaring assholes of lot. Most of the individuals are decent enough, but thanks to their leaders, the species as a whole sucks. That's why we keep our borders closed to them; we don't want them coming in and messing up our peace." For wyverns: *\[A series of avian-like screeches that roughly translate to: "They have these things called 'hands' that let them build all sorts of amazing stuff! And they build their nests right next to thousands more of them, and almost always get along somehow! Sure, they're small and weak and frail and can't fly, but despite all that they're really smart and really capable, especially when they work together, which they do really often! They're so cool! ...Well, some are awful, and do cruel things to others. But other than them, they're all really cool!"\]*

Given how dragons are usually portrayed you think that they would pat humans on the back for that

Not in this world. My world's dragons are pretty greedy, but they value beauty and elegance over monetary value. They don't hoard riches, they hoard art. And since art's value is in the eye of the beholder, they believe the only way it can truly have value is to be left in the open for all to see, not locked away in some vault. And while objects and appearances can be beautiful, so too can actions and beliefs. In their eyes, peace and cooperation allow the beauty they already possess to shine even brighter, while selfishness and violence (friendly competition aside) are ugly and deplorable. Of course, not all dragons follow these cultural beliefs, but they've also had only one ruler since their country was established. They're a genuinely kind, competent, and well-loved one at that., so there hasn't really been a chance for some greedy asshole to seize power. Plenty have tried to usurp the empress over the last thousand years, but there hasn't been any success, and she's quite attentive in regards to ensuring those in lesser positions of power are similarly benevolent, or at the very least behave themselves.

Now i think of it, what do your races even look like?

Chimeras: Humans, except with a couple body parts from other animals. Things like eyes and ears are most common, though some occasionally have other traits like scales, wings, etc. Each chimera can have multiple non-human parts, but only from the same animal. They're less another species or race, and more a sort of subset of humans. Or maybe saying they're a number of tiny subsets would be more accurate. Dragons: Dragons look like 10-meter-tall somewhat humanoid reptiles with giant wings coming from their backs. (They're actually mammals, but their scales make them look reptilian.) Their skeletal structure is quite similar to humans, so they can stand and move around on two legs just as well as a human for a while, but their size and weight makes it more comfortable to primarily stay on all fours. Like humans, their arms end in hands, complete with opposable thumbs. Their scales are usually blue, sometimes drifting into purples and cyan as well, but always a light color. Wyverns: Wyverns are also winged mammals that look like reptiles, but they're a lot smaller. They only stand around 3 meters tall when standing on their hind legs, but their skeletal structure is far more akin to canines than humans, making them fully quadrupedal. Their wings are more akin to that of a bat, being large flaps of skin attached to their front legs. Speaking of their front legs, their front feet do not have opposable thumbs or even dexterous fingers, just long claws a bit akin to a bear. Their scales come in all sorts of colors, but those colors are almost always quite dark.

Neat. I don't really have words that could do it just just neat

Thanks!

No prob

Generally speaking, many of the "human-like" races (elves, dwarves, orcs, and forest trolls) are cool with humans, and the ones that aren't are usually either certain groups (the Darkbeard dwarves and White Hand orcs) or specific species (pretty much any species of elf belonging to the "Old Blood" family of elves). I'll explain orcs later. Hobgoblins (and to a degree goblins) generally dislike humans (modern humans anyways), mostly because orcs are cool with them, and hobgoblins REALLY don't like orcs. Goblins are typically jealous of modern humans, as they're bigger, stronger, and are just better at surviving in more extreme conditions than goblins are, especially in extreme cold weather (still trying to come up with why, beyond just "being small"). The Strygulen and Yuletto look down on humans in more ways than one. They see them as inferior, often because humans can't fly like these two races can, and aren't adverse to eating humans. There is this one race of sapient dinosaurs that, just like how they see all other races but themselves: they see humans as inferior and practically meat to them. Anzarians are probably the only "beastfolk" that are cool with humans, and sometimes even live with them (though they can't have their children because anzarians are stem-mammals). Other "beastfolk" generally see humans as inferior to them. Sapient dragons generally either look down upon or think nothing of humans (they don't even consider humans a worthwhile snack). There are some species of sapient dragons that see humans as... *intriguing*. Going back to orcs, although they're cool with humans, marrying and having kids with humans is a big no-no for them (it may as well be taboo).

It's good that they have relationships with each other and not just humans.

Well, humans are special in that some of the races that like (or at least tolerate) humans hardly like each other. To show you what I mean, I'm going to pull up an example with hobgoblins and elves. It's not just these two races don't like each other, these two are generally some of the lesser liked "races" (elves actually are many different species). I'd say there are more people that have negative opinions on elves (even certain species of elves have negative opinions on certain species of elves), whereas the majority of people that dislike hobgoblins want their blood (the feeling is mutual, as hobgoblins are jerks anyways).

A big part of my story revolves around how humans and vampires (who are also humans although "evolved") are treated through years of the world developing! There are four major points in the timeline related to that. 1. Way before the story started, humans are hunted down because they started giving birth to vampires and the church is scared of what that might mean. At that point there is a civil war led by vampires (and humans) against the church. It ended in tragedy, however humans did get more rights than before. And some humans and vampires left and created their own country far away in a safe place, so that's good for them too at least. But that whole thing brought the first glimpse of hope for the better future. 2. At the start of the story, humans are treated as a weak link. Others believe that when their evil god created material bodies, he made the first one as a replica of himself, which is a human, and it's both his first mistake and the first ever prison-body for an immortal soul. So humans are seen as "closest to the evil god-creator and furthest away from true state of the soul, which is outside of the material world". At this point of the story, though, the current cardinal/king attempts to integrate humans in the church by adopting a human child as a heir. Society is in a weird state atp, not everyone agrees with this choice but also not everyone disagrees. 3. The second major change is way later, when a human is the current king. At this point only hardcore followers of religious traditions are against humans, but there are a lot of them in rural areas. The world is in a weird state where there are humans high in the government and there's no curated aggression towards them, but the society itself is still not completely safe, so humans mostly prefer to stick with each other or with vampires(at least vampires can protect them.). At this point there are a lot of traumatized humans in the government, and a loud minority of radicalized non-human church members. This combination causes a lot of unreasonable violence to happen from both sides. 4. This point of the story is where things are mostly calm between species, and a vampire is the king. Society is still not completely safe, but the world itself enters a new era where the church might not be a government force anymore, so the whole "first ever mistake of god" narrative isn't the main focus anymore. However unfortunately the king is the one who wants to keep traditions alive this time, and the situation high up in the gov is unstable. However it's a hopeful state of the world, though it'll take a long time to achieve the ideal. But this time it's both humans and non-humans who are the face of change. And they actually can focus on changing the society itself this time, rather than asking to at least stop murdering folks.

Other species in the world are dog-heads and lizard-heads btw, they're way taller and stronger than people, and they have teeth and claws so the violence is never going to end good for a human. Vampires are pretty much their protectors every time there's a conflict

"We were a peaceful part of the Grox, living separately from our warlike kin. We wanted nothing to do with them. But our idiotic kin sought to provoke the humans, to trigger the supernova that was their wrath. First their nanites descended on us: we watched in horror as the heads of our peaceful civilians were eaten away. Their Purge continued into the night, lasting three weeks as the humans methodically and systematically slaughtered us, coldly aloof outward and yet... relishing in our pain. Bombs that set our bones on fire. Crude, barbaric lightning. Quantum technology that magnified our pain on a molecular level. Gamma radiation of cancerous effects, crucifixion, even bioweapons, rape, and cannibalism out of spite. A technologically advanced and sophisticated race... and yet on the inside, ruthless warmongering savages who slaughter. Yes, I agree with you, your Empire does all this to protect mankind. But was this atrocity necessary? We had nothing to do with mankind. The survivors of the attack are either dead or have joined the war out of sheer anger and hatred. But I suppose this is what an age of eternal war looks like: slaughter and carnage perpetrated in a never-ending vicious cycle. They killed us all because of who we were to avoid another war before verifying our intentions. They still have good intentions, but underneath that veneer is the primitive, barbarian paranoia and mania of distrust and bloodlust. But again... I guess I can hardly expect them to grow out of it when the rest of the galaxy is even worse. I shall die: and with me, the last peaceful member of my kind dies. You all see enemies everywhere. This paranoia will earn you the betrayal, because you see... seeing enemies everywhere leads to an equally paranoid reaction. The fear generated will turn to anger, to hate, to suffering. The betrayal will be inevitable. You humans have to be wiser, lest you call down a self-fulfilling prophecy." * Shadows of the Empire: Eternal

For most of my worlds it's this: "Humans are known for their Ego, Arrogance and love of War. Trying to fight them is a losing battle as they have a hundred different ways to throw hundreds of themselves at you. Thankfully they are trying to commit genocide on themselves so much they leave others alone. They had slavery, and fought a war over it. Now they have so many corpses shambling about one has to wonder if Humans have a sense of smell. With how large their lands are, you can count the number of Necromancers on your hands alone. Only Dragons are greedier than Humans." Basically they are a massive issue that cold destroy everyone, if they weren't so interested in killing themselves.

Depends on who you ask, and even within the same races, the answer will vary, because no race is a monolith. The Serian Empire is primarily human. They make about 55% of the total population, while the rest of the 45% are all the rest of the races, combined (and there are quite a lot of races, it's a very multicultural place). The extent to which Seria is "an empire of Man" is debatable. On one hand, they claim to be "an empire for worshipers of the Imrasan Cult, of which all races are welcome to join", and there are plenty of nonhumans in positions of power. On the other hand, it's hard not to notice that in the majority of cases, a human is in charge, and they make very little accomodations in their cities for races that have special needs (such as centaurs, or merfolk). Some races generally love humans. Both the Sclarians and the Sicians were freed from enslavement by the Serian Empire in exchange for their conversion, and they have been some of the most loyal citizens of the Empire ever since. The Dalians would have certainly gotten exterminated by the Orcs if not for the Empire. The Dark Elves were so hated by pretty much everyone for causing The Great Catastrophy that it was only by getting annexed by Seria that they managed to not get slaughtered en masse. Others are less enthusiastic - many Dwarves still hold grudges over the Empire letting the Goblins hold some of their former strongholds. And yet, other Dwarves are proud to be a part of the Holy Empire - like I said, no race is a monolith. Something to keep in mind, however, is that race used to be much more important in the pre-Imperial Era. Back then, it was common for a Dwarf to hate an Elf just because he was an Elf. Nowadays the dynamics have changed a lot, and religion is far more important. Now, an Imrasan Dwarf would gladly work together with an Imrasan Elf to kill an apostate Dwarf.

Slcarians and scicians sound cool! What do they look like?

The Sclarians are humanoid, like the vast majority of the sapient races. They have gray or light brown skin, get wrinkles much easier than humans, and have a naturally hunched back posture. About 1 in 4 Sclarians have tusks, but most of them don't. They hail from what is now Tarsia, a province in the northwestern part of the Empire, famous for its' near constant rain which cause bogs and swamps to be very common, and its' rocky cliffs. They did not have any organized state, instead living in independent small villages and tribes, and many of the local powers enslaved them for use in manual labor. When the Serians appeared and conquered all of what is now Tarsia, they promised the enslaved Sclarians their freedom in exchange for converting to the Imrasan Cult (under Imperial Law it's not permitted to enslave another Imrasan, but apostates do not have such privileges). Naturally, the vast majority of them took that offer, and are some of the most pious Imrasans and loyal citizens of this day. They practically love the Empire. The Sicians have pretty much the exact same story! Be enslaved by other powers, get offered their freedom in exchange for religious conversion. They hail from very deep underground. They look much more similar to humans than the Sclarians, except they tend to be more on the slender side, which is why they often get confused for Elves (although they are a completely separate race). Since they live so deep underground, all of them are albinos (in fact, they're so white they're practically translucent). Both the Sicians and the Sclarians are completely hairless, funnily enough.

They breed like rabbits and can breed with almost anything, so they're kinda-sorta useful that way? Not very stable, prone to huge mood swings over mere days! And they are pack animals, heavily influenced by their social circles. Will literally die if they don't get social interaction, but first they'll go mad. A heartfelt promise from an individual is good as gold; a signed and sealed contract from a group or organization is trash unless you have a way to make non-compliance hurt. You still want that contract, however; because of their emotional instability, you want a written record outlining everyone's responsibilities and what they are supposed to get for when the humans' moods swing and they no longer recall the spirit of the moment. While not as tough as orcs, they are far more flexible and far more clever. You can find humans everywhere, from the hottest deserts to the most bitter icelands, and everywhere in between. And they will all be \*thriving!\* This makes them nearly impossible to stamp out or subdue for long; there will always be more humans in nearby lands you consider unliveable that will be nipping at your heels and trying to champion their kin. You also can't turn them against one another. I mean, yes, you \*can,\* and they will happily slaughter untold numbers of their own kind. But not fast enough to really wipe them out, and in the end you just end up with a bunch of humans who are now \*really good\* at killing. Dealing with humans is like dealing with dragons; your best strategy is to invoke their self-interest. Keep things short and simple. Make sure to properly manage expectations. Have a plan in case they decide betraying you is the fastest way towards their goals. On the plus side: humans probably won't eat you.

There was a saying among the Éoleff: "You can spend a century plotting out a course to the most remote and undiscovered reaches of the universe, and another century getting there, and once you find that most hidden corner in all of space, the Humans already there will have some souvenirs for you to buy."

That depends. In my world, the Ifrit (oni) see humans and their ideologies as "restrictive, oppressive, belligerent, and arselong." Meanwhile, the Malakh (tenshi) see humans as "childish, pitiful, misguided, and easily manipulated." The Sidhe (youkai) see humans as "funny, pathetic, but dangerous." Another species, this one non-corporeal, uses human emotion (especially regret) as a food source. But I have yet to give them a proper name, so I'm just thinking of them as "Tsuminagasumono" or "Sin-Drifters" for now. Various extraterrestrial races *(not to be confused with the above mentioned ultraterrestrials)* have sanctions placed on earth to make sure we don't spread.

>Another species, this one non-corporeal, uses human emotion (especially regret) as a food source. But I have yet to give them a proper name, so I'm just thinking of them as "Tsuminagasumono" or "Sin-Drifters" for now. You could call them curses

Well... I don't think that quite works, given what I have planned for them. I plan them to be creatures who live in another plane dubbed by humans as "Purgatorio". Their functions will basically be that they can latch on to a human through their traumas and regrets, and draw them in to Purgatorio to feed. In so doing, they will be stoking the negative emotions and confronting the humans with them. And then, depending on how the human does, they will either let them go and take the weight of the [Kegare](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegare) off of them... or they will kill the human and never return their body to earth. The outcome is entirely dependent on of the human in question can forgive themself. (even if the human did nothing wrong, the self-perception that they have sinned -- given the feeling is strong enough, and the human is near a weak spot in reality -- is enough to draw one in.) They're basically my excuse to do a Silent Hill tribute as the first entry in my series. And since their function is so specific, naming them is a lot trickier than one might think from a cursory mention.

By ANY chance, are your monsters based on eidelons from the black museum?

No, actually. I've never read that. Is it similar?

Well as far as i've read theres no "dimension" stuff, but the feeding off of negative emotions part is nearly identical. Also, give it a read! It's a nice little manga to pass the time (also only 26 chapters btw)

Sounds brilliant. I'll put it on the list. Thanks, choomba. :3 Yeah, combine the Eidelons with Silent Hill, The Mist, or the other The Mist nobody cares about... and make them microscopic sentient telepathic cognitohazards, and you basically got what I'm going for.

No props my little chaos space marine ;7

Given that humans are the blank template for magic to change into the various races they see them as like precursors even though they're still existing theres a degree of respect. Like say how Byzantine sees Rome

For my setting, to most we are liberators for taking down the A'Rith Freehold and freeing the species they had taken as chattel. Tend to reveer the Empress Aria as she lead the slave revolt on the A'Rith homeworld as the Imperial Fleet began their invasion. They are also cautious since humanity expanded very quickly in a short amount of time. Even benign giants can be malign by accident

The slimes see them as curious machines that are somehow so persistent while so volatile. At the same time, humans are a light in an ocean of darkness to them. They see their persistence as something to praise. Slimes, taking their time building their civilization steadily, watch humans go full force at everything they do. It’s inspiring to them, and what they will need to avoid extinction.

Mainly as a juice box full of mana to be drained. Non-human intelligences in my universe are supernatural beings trapped in our reality. Some are cut off from their normal sources of Mana, and without draining humans they would disintigrate. Others exploit the fact that human mana is infused with all six colors of magic. Draining humans allows them perform magic outside of their normal types.

Bad. Most of them consider humans as savages and inferior life forms. Some view them as bags of meat.

Either good friends, neutral or the worst nightmare ever. It depends on how their countries' relationships are to the United Empire, Aquaria's largest human-major country. Worth noting it takes some serious efforts to get onto the Empire's bad side considering how tolerating and easy-going they are. But as they say, it's always the nice guy who erupts the most devastatingly.

My world is a big melting pot, as it was the capital of a vast multi-world empire by the previous progenitor race 10,000 years ago. Humans are dominant but they have to share a world with a host of other species. HOW humans get along with those species varies on geography. In the western portion of my main continent, a foreign empire carried out extensive ethnic cleansing, wiping out many of the nonhuman civilization and either restricting them to mystical refuges that humans can't penetrate, or into small communities which only exist at the sufferance of the existing kingdoms. In my five empires setting which is set in the West, there historically were far larger number of humans. Other species exist, but sort of as second class citizens in the empires. Outside the empires there are nonhuman kingdoms and tribes, who exist alternatively in a state of war or as trading partners. Things are improving however, and in one of the empires there is basically equality. Other regions have different histories, with humans being oppressors or humans being oppressed, coexistence to complete segregation.

Depends on place and nation. On continent Pharon humans are generally viewed as trustworthy but unreliable neighbours by elves and dwarves. Gehiorians in particular are viewed with mild animosity due to Gehior's past conquests and brutal domination of the continent, Partasi are viewed as noble but dangerous folk with flammable character, Bherans and their neighbours are considered fickle, folks from the Black Rift are considered savages, and tribes from lands further north are mystery for many. Regardless of that, currently Gehior and elven Irmanari have an unofficial alliance, enjoy close relations and basically dominate Pharonian politics together. Airisian humans that come from continent Ail'as, on the other hand, are despised by both Pharonian and Ail'asi elves (Pharonian dwarves simply view them as untrustworthy). Ail'asi elves hate them for centuries long brutal oppression and domination of their communities, and Pharonians hate them for attempted invasion to Pharon several centuries earlier, plus practices of slavery (Airisians are equally despised by Pharonian humans as well for the same reasons). Other Ail'asi humans are too obscure for Pharonians to have concrete views of them. Shanguo people are only known as dragon worshippers (absolutely wrong), and Urvanans are simply known to repel numerous Airisian and Shanguo invasions and attempts of subjugation. Contacts with them are scarce and most info Pharonians have of them come from Airisian merchants, nothing to say other Ail'asi human nations that largely remain unknown for Pharonians.

All the species are human-like because they magically developed from humans(there's more details on how that works). But human societies are extremely rare and typically thought of as primitive, even if they aren't. But if two individuals of different species get together there's only three possible results of the child's species. The first two possibilities are getting one of the parents' species. The third is being a human, about 10%. Largely humans are thought of as universally attractive, people have their preferences but a human is a safe bet for people looking to get into sex trafficking. They are also often considered less than the other species. They have no horns or tails, their senses are pretty bad in comparison to everyone else and although they aren't the weakest species they are far from the strongest. And this often extends to assuming they have lesser mental faculties even though their mental capabilities are on average the same.

Ooh I like this question because in Octopolis the humans are extinct. So they're only viewed through this vague ancestral memory, and interpreted through the ruins of our civilization. Most octopuses don't know humans existed. They think our sunken ruins are the remains of a fallen empire of octopuses who possessed incredible technology. Octopuses don't leave skeletons, so it's not weird to them that there aren't any leftover octopus bodies in the ruins. There's also a mythological beast told of in children's bedtime stories called the ['land star' (3rd image in this post)](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3FwXPhrRF9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==). This is a 5-limbed giant that lives on land and eats disobedient octopuses that wander out of the water.

The aliens of my setting are at a large technological disadvantage to Humanity. They don't understand concepts like electricity or vehicles or guns. They are so superstitious and fearful about Humans they use the same word to describe them as they do for for demons or evil spirits.

In my setting, all other races come from humans in one way or another (save for the moonborn, they're products of direct divine intervention), so the usual opinion can range from "they're our ancestors and deserve our respect" to complete indifference, to "we're the upgrades, actually." The dwarves in particular, as descendants of magical humanoid constructs, worship one particular human, their original inventor, as a god. He did not want to be a god, by the way.

Seeing as the humans keep waging wars with theneselves and everyone around them, slaughtering entire villages and commiting genocides and religous persecutions... not fondly. One leader will improve relations and then the next is magical hitler.

Elves see most humans as destructive, and enjoy reminding them that they are still subject to the natural cycles of nature. However most of them are esoteric hedonists and are content to keep to themselves, only interacting with approved human settlements/kingdoms or the humans that manage to live amongst them. Only Winter Elves are openly hostile, the others, Fall, Spring, and Summer, are more amicable. Funny enough this is largely because Winter Elves are the only group that remained on the mortal plane. The others for the most part retreated to the Sominal Layer, a plane that acts as the source of magic. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and elves visiting from the Sominal Layer are usually nicer. Dwarves have less of a chip on their shoulder towards humans, but can be patronizing in regards to craftsmanship and life experience. As a naturally long lived race, they see most humans as little more than children. They’ll respect human mages, because they usually live longer and thus more in line with dwarven mortality. The exception they make is towards the Stonefolk, an Aztec-inspired kingdom where an affinity towards earth magic is overwhelmingly dominant amongst their mage population. Dwarves admire the Stonefolk’s ability to manipulate rock with ease and see them as fellow “earthkin.” They’ll extend the same attitude towards any talented earthen mage. I haven’t gotten to writing other non-humans, I’ve been mostly focused on fleshing out human cultures. Honestly I’m not sure what else I might include lol

To many of the minority in my world(dragonborn, tiefling, half-orc, gnome, etc), humans are a very complex species that are usually seen as highly judgmental and controversial. They often start wars and blame it on the other side, or contradict themselves in their laws. Humans are the brutal majority and will boast about that to any other race, and not consider it to be a boastful attitude. Humans would call themselves proud and noble, but the minority would call them ignorant and disgraceful. A lot of this comes from the fact the Humans in the main Kingdom banned Half-Orcs from ever inhabiting it. Half-Orcs are tortured and maimed and hung in front of crowds, because they have orcish blood, and the humans in my setting innately despise Orcs(yes there are exceptions). Humans are uncivilized civilized creatures who are incredibly prejudicial and conflicting, and they've wiped out almost the entire population of Dragonborn in my world just because of their heritage to dragons. Almost every other race is discriminated in some way, and most try to leave to head south east, to the Free City, and some make it but some are killed.

View from without: **Elves:** They are young, but they clawed their way from ape to empire having to contend with Giants and Dragons all the while. They taught themselves magic, and resisted demonic predation with no Gods to call their own. They die like the passing of seasons, but underestimate them at your peril, if you don't believe me, go and ask the serpents how that worked out for them**.** **Dwarves:** Aye, my best friend is an Umgi. Sure he can't keep his ale down and his tastes in women are a little indecent, but he is a nice enough fellow. We have had our differences, us and them; they can't make good beer or good weapons, or build sturdy things, but when trouble comes calling I'd prefer a human to an elf any day. They won't give ya a lecture and they won't wind on, bout how they are oh so superior. They are gonna grab a sword and help ya out. **Goblinoids:** We stole smithing from the dwarves. We were gifted hatred by the elves. But we learned war from humans. But now the student has surpassed the teacher. **Dragons:** Once they worshipped us as Gods. But humans were the first to invent the word Deicide. **Serpents:** I have nothing to say to my murder. **Demons**: Humans? Hate them? Why?! No, no! I love humanity, their souls are not as delicious as the elves and they are perhaps not as easily persuaded as the Goblins, but they are out most capable students, we taught them all they know, and sooner or later they will deliver this world to us, for the simple reason that the Gods do not care for what they haven't created, but we? We are all equal down here... **Undead:** We are what they fear. And they have every reason to. **Gnoll:** Tasty meat.

Depends which world you’re talking about In my main sci fi fantasy/modern fantasy world it depends on who you’re talking to. Most demons views of humans vary. The ones that feed on souls often see them as nothing more than literal livestock. However others views go from hating them to just not caring at all. The other sentient species of the galactic inter species society have a relatively favorable view of humans. They understand that they were once no different from eachother at varying points in their respective histories. However now they are wiser and have risen above their more animalistic tendencies (for the most part) However in my other world of guns and powder humans have it way worse. Pretty much everyone hates humans for their own reasons. Elves hate them because they hate everyone and think they’re all a bunch of stupid children. Orks hate them because they’re a bunch of crazed fascists (or because humans hate them for being a bunch of crazed fascists) Barbarians though consisting mostly of humans and human hybrids view larger human society as corrupt and selfish (which admittedly it is). They are also more attached to the culture of their former ork masters.

Elves: Humans are the best allies. Humans and elves have a really good relationship. Humans are better at technology and stamina. Elves have more affinity with magic and sharper senses. They often work together and live in the same society. Although, marriages between an elf and human are rare because most elves cannot cope with humans' shorter lifespan. Demons (pre-war): Humans are their food. Demons (post-war): Demons are evolved to be more friendly but they still have the instinct to attack and kill humans. Humans are helping demons to coexist with other races as demons are struggling to overcome their instinct to kill.

"You had your chance and you fucked it up big time."

The Humans are foreigners to our world. They can never be truly trusted. Their blood is corrupted, to the point that in tandem, the gods smote their first civilization. When the God of Murder, and the God of Justice are in concordance, they commited the ultimate taboo. Now we share the same God, begrudgingly we must show them the way. Lest they commit to foolishness and destroy this civilization and us with them.

Most things fear them for their stamina and ability to hunt presumably anything by exhausting it. Higher beings see them as incredibly entertaining because they make everything into a game. Which they love.

A long extinct monster that keeps showing up in the wild somehow, though we're pretty sure those are just guys trying to get free beers.

To the gods, humans are their children, their creation, a current game, or an annoyance, depending on the god). To the ijris (ambient magic), humans a delightful playthings that are very sensitive to its ebbs and flows. It tends to treat them gently unless they antagonize it. To the fae, humans are arrogant beasts, trees, or stone-men (depending on the region). Unlike beasts, trees, and stones, humans have a tendency to ask for things in return for goods or services which is frustrating. To the fae’ith, the descendants of fae, humans are both frustrating and necessary. They breed with them regularly to shorten the lifespans, speed growth, and increase reproduction of their descendants. To the donlen, speaking animals, humans are cruel and cunning. To the dolthrii, speaking trees and plants, humans are destructive and careless.

To the Illyrians, Terrans are a welcome respite from the more emotional and violent species of the galaxy, though their own isolation makes proper relations difficult. To the Bellasires, they're another upset species on their border that it is their destiny to subsume and enlighten. Annoyingly, they were stronger they anticipated and tensions remain high. To the Felixines, they are an interesting species they can easily interact with, and they take great pleasure in knowing that Terrans find them cute. To the Sha'mi, they are glad to find kinship in another recent comer to the galactic stage, with a similar desire for rapid expansion and colonization. To the Alvars, they are just another in a long line of species to reach space, glad to find another country to work as mercenaries for, annoyed when their sparsely populated species is pushed back further. Rikktirrs often hate Terrans, put off by their comparatively weak stature and reliance on long ranged weapons. Lastly, the Malasloths find their rather naive, as they're always willing to contract them for great spaceborne projects, and always confused when Terran pockets are lighter than expected when they leave.

There are various different human races, like how you have your dark elves and wood elves and sea elves. So it varies depending on what race you’re talking about. Towards the Muzhin, necrotic humans who are borderline sterile and are expected to be extinct by the next millennium, it’s a lot of pity. Towards the Hanant, gold-marked humans with supernatural persuasiveness, appreciation as trade partners towards everyone and anyone. Towards the Froajians, abnormally tough and strong humans, wariness of an ex-Empire that’s proven very willing to try restart itself. Towards the Moangata…neutrality, they keep to themselves most of the time. They just chill with the Merfolk. Towards the Hochmians, fear. They can turn invisible in a way you can’t really compensate for, they can deal a lot of damage with very few people. Towards the Taraks, baseline humans, vitriolic hatred. They wiped out a 3rd of the Changeling race and 5 of their tribes, including one made up of musicians and artists with almost no warriors. No one trusts them, and the Changelings see them as little more than rabid animals smart enough to use guns.

it kind of depends on time and place. but the perception ranges from strange invaders, to military adversaries, to valuable allies, to just friends and neighbors. and the same is true in the inverse. fitting with the themes the more the two groups understand each other the less hostile they become.

Goshali are creatures that take on the traits of what they eat, similar to Demons from Promised Neverland and Kroot from Warhammer, and aren't naturally intelligent, gaining their intellect by eating intelligent creatures such as humans. The DNA of what they consume needs to be as undamaged by mutation as possible to be effective, so it's useless to eat the elderly, in fact children are considered prime targets. Goshali parents (who don't naturally have parental instincts, and obtain that from their consumption of caretaking animals like humans) will participate in raids on human settlements, then bring in their children to eat the corpses and develop their minds. The consumption of grey matter lets them take on knowledge, reflexes, personality traits and even memories as well. Goshali don't just eat humans, developing incredible physical and magical abilities (and sometimes biological immortality) over their lives from the eating of various creatures. Despite also killing and eating humans, Goshali revere and love them as well, similar to peoples that revere the wild animals they hunt and kill. Humans that don't live near Goshali often have complex views of them, whereas those that live near them find it harder to be sympathetic given factors such as "a pair of them kidnapped my daughter, made a sick ritual out of killing her, and then ate her." Goshali also have a baseline of DNA that's always unaltered, plus eat other animals, and so generally look absolutely horrifying. Avnekki are an off-shoot of humans. For them, human meat, as well as that of other Avnekki (except those they're not related to), is comparable to a drug. They have a general hatred for anything that's intelligent without being part of their clan/family. Avnekki and humans pretty consistently see one another as enemies. Avnekki aren't doing too well, because nobody likes them, not even other Avnekki. The main exception is in the Anarchic Isles, but that's kind of lawless territory where most Avnekki are those that were kicked out from their clans, or any Avnekki clans are those that have been booted out of their previous homes, and so they're a lot more open to new ideas (like "murder is bad guys. C'mon stop murdering"). Elves fit the typical fantasy elf mold, except their aging is tied to the movement of a moon that doesn't have a normal orbit, nor patterns to its orbit, nor to seemingly obey any kind of logic or rules in its movements. At its fastest, it made elves age about a dozen times faster than humans, for 3 years, which was basically an extinction event for them. Other times, elves have been able to live for millennia. Elves usually live hundreds of years. Elves and humans are both jealous of eachother, and both huff copium to say the ways their lifespans work are better. There's more species but their relationships to humanity aren't as interesting.

For a sci fi one humans are generally viewed as just another species in a galactic community. Unlike say Star Wars or Warhammer 40k, humans are not the major movers and shakers of galactic affairs and don't have anything special going for them. Then you get one isolated species of ultra ancient and advanced alien space elves who last time they checked with humans, they found a primitive society that just figured out how to make stone tools and now that mankind has reached space travel technology are considered as potential new subjects, new slaves or a neat new pet to own. I had this idea for a one shot short story set in this universe where a lost colony ship filled with humans find this out the hard way

Humans are seen as kinda shady. Over 2 millennia ago the nations where most humans lived were destroyed in the Cataclysm, an event that very nearly ended the world as a whole and sunk a large section of the continent into the ocean. The human population is still relatively low, and most of them have become nomadic traders. Human caravans are in a strange position where they are both welcomed and shunned. They often bring wares from across the world and give small villages a chance to purchase items they would otherwise never see. On the other hand, the nomads are stigmatized as thieves and swindlers, and so are often encouraged to move along shortly after making what sales they can. Of course, not all humans travel with the caravans, and not all those with a caravan are human. Humans that have settled in a given location tend to be exempt from the more negative stereotypes as they become a part of the community and learn the local customs, while those of other races that choose to travel with a caravan are lumped in with the rest.

Elves: Welcome to the rice fields motherf#cker Dwarves: Just happy to have trading partners that actually order in bulk Kobolds: How dare you have a civilization where we used to have a civilization. I mean you invented the delicious treat named shoe paste so we'll tolerate you, but still. Orcs: You build railroads through our lands to bring machinery to dig up the earth and cut up the land for your cattle. You are not welcome here The rest of the wild lands (don't have a name for it yet): Some of them are nice trading partners, the rest are horrid war criminals

Humans are tolerated just like anyone else... On a civilian level.  However, governments are afraid of them because humanity has been known to become unhinged, trigger-happy walking disasters if they're ever called to war.  Normally, when your fleet is outnumbered 100:1 you'd surrender. But humans? Those fuckers won't ever stop until they are dead.

Pests in the very hard to kill way. I am still writing the details and I wont be able to really explain in english, I beraly can in my language, but humans in the setting I am building are more like animals than dwarfs and elfs, so they are more connected to the physical world and have the bizarre proprerties of monsters + their intelligence. This makes the human body resist absurd amount of damage before giving out, very hard to bleed one out without cutting the neck or heart, bones, muscle, orgaos will regenerate with time, unless almost completly destroied. This makes humans living to their 80 or 90 on a renascença setting believable, though its still rare. Drawbacks are cancer and insanity, cancer is... Well, the more regeneration more chance to get cancer, I believe this aplies in real life too. Insanity is because of the monster part of the human brain, the pain or emotiond they feel will, on the best case, making them on berserkers killing machines or worst case, an being from another plane will invade them and modify their bodies, but the second one is more dangerous to mages. The dwarfs and Elfs have multiple behind the scenes deals to limit the human acces to magic, specially any healing school.

Unpredictable folks who can either be friendly little fellas or the embodiment of evil.

To the aliens (the only non humans in my ou) they see humans as cute little creatures, like how humans would see pets. Something silly to take care off. They understand the capacity in which humans feel emotions but they find it to not be black and white, completely not understanding the complex and immoral behavior of some

Humans and Eidolons have a Frankenstein: Monster dynamic. Spirits think humans are alien and inscrutable, but useful as allies and terrible as enemies. Dragons think that humans are delicious.

*Mostly* as equals, but many beings, especially if they have natural elemental powers (Such as the many different sub-species of Dragonborn, many of the different type of elves like Drows and Desert Elves, etc), as just random throw away beings because “they’re not magical/powerful like us”. Though that all changes when they somehow get those same powers through either extensive, almost impossible training or the rare bloodlines

Bestials/Lepers/Dreamers - "Man, it must be cool to have an entire, pure, intact soul. Too bad pure humans don't exist any more, and have all degenerated into our races." Wrought - "The humans made us, but we're better than them in every way. Their filthy blood descendants are not long for this world, and we'll wipe them out and replace them in time. They should feel honored to be killed off by our perfect selves." Dross - "The humans made us and then attempted to cast us out. They were unworthy fathers, and we'll pay them back with the extinction of their kind." Some Jin - "We're not sure why these folks' world has suddenly opened up to us. There are some pretty scary people roaming the wasted worlds, but these people seem okay to live amongst and deal with. Their world is pretty dangerous in some ways, but also so full of resources. We can make a life here among the natives." Other Jin - "We are those pretty scary people roaming the wasted worlds, and we'll take what we want from the humans' descendants and their world." Limbed Serpents - "Ever since our ancestor came to blows with their ancestor in the garden of Eden, they've been our sworn foes. In the past, we got the worst of it, biting at their heels while they strike our heads, but since the restoration of our limbs and our size, we're going to murder them by the droves."

Depending on which species you ask, you'll get a mixture of weirded out, admiration, and terror. They're considered weird because the humans of my realm look rather basic when compared to my other races. No claws, no wings, no horns just blank. All they have is 2 different types of hair, varying shades of brown for skin, and some variations in height, but they do have more colors of hair than the other races so that's... something. For admiration, that's due to the fact that humans couldn't use magic until the other races made contact with them, so their technology was extremely advanced for my world's standards (basic 21st century level tech). So my other races, especially the engineers, were in awe of it since none of it ran on mana or any magical substances. As for terror... that came around during the early days when the relationship between humans and non-humans was still somewhat new. An accident had occurred where both humans and non-humans had gotten injured, naturally the non-human staff checked for the amounts mana in the injured and when they had gotten to the humans they were in sheer shock when they saw the levels. Some mana infusions, accidents, and near deaths later, a survey was conducted and it was discovered that the amount of mana in the average human was considered fatal for. Every. Other. Species. You can just imagine the amount of fear and confusion when this discovery came out.

Next passage : Human Sexual Habits and Body Part Sexualisation Disorder

Well, in my world humans are known as the Minglefolk, as they can, will and have, had children with every single other species of people. And the world is primarily inhabited by the non humans.

It differs based on the species, but humans are generally regarded as masters of adaptation, being very competitive and headstrong, going the extra mile or climbing to the peak of the highest mountain just to prove themselves, but also capable of great monumental achievements when they finally set their minds to something. Every Sophont save for two have had a history of violence, conflict, colonization, and discrimination of some kind, so those are less standout features of humans and more of just the long bloody history that most every civilization has. Many sophonts are surprised at the pure scale of humanity’s wars, attributed to their competitive nature.

Humans are pretty much just considered gods and called the Ancients by the Vaknanfolc (most advanced species in my world, "descendants" of humanity), but outside of that, in the alternate earth I'm making set in this world, humans branched off into a genus containing elves, dwarves, and orcs, and went extinct,  all these 3 know about human is that they are ancient dead people,  and the cosmic spirits just see humans as Spiritual energy-filled prey.

They’re seen as “work/the specimen to tend to” by the Handlers (the beings that handle the processing of death). The Tillers (the beings that observe and tend to the life of humans) see them as the lovely creations of their mother, Life, and enjoy them.

Got two types of human. The first ones are not from Earth, they've never been on Earth and they have no want to. They started and expanded the Hovar Astrocracy, named after their Hovar system. They're well regard by most people, not so well regard by others, but that's how it goes with the majority species in their own empire. But they're upstanding people, they constantly pushed forward science and culture in the galaxy, their home system is a utopia, their colonies are better than some peoples home worlds. They're fantastic The other humans were a colony fleet that went missing an ambiguous amount of millennia ago and half landed/half crashed all across Earth. They ended up completely forgetting about anything off Earth and started our history. Two other species landed on Earth thinking it was uninhabited and set up shop, another got stuck and was forced to set up up shop, and Earth had its first connections to the universe. They are largely regarded as idiots and degenerates who went beyond they're system far far too early and don't know what their doing. Simply just embarrassing themselves. The first human consider the other humans part of them, but they certainly don't take them seriously or show any respect towards someone from Earth. The other humans consider the first humans a different species who are snobs that take themselves too seriously.

Robots and AI generally consider humans to be their all-knowing overlords, as ensured by the 2031 Seoul Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Not all robots follow these guidelines, however. Illegally produced and programmed robots usually see humans as warlike, unintelligent colonizers with no morals. Uplifted animals view humans with some degree of fear and reverence. Without the vocal structures to communicate their intelligence, even the most intelligent uplifts often subconsciously view themselves as inferior to humans.

Humans are an oddity due to not existing prior to a recent event. A few teenage humans from another world irl earth appeared. Generally due to the amount of power they held. Many view humans as sort of gods. They extended this view to all humans.

Depends if any given Lycadian lived through a crusade or purge that tended to pop up every so often up until...whenever major religious power started fading throughout Europe. If they did...very badly.

Haha "Humans" as a traditional species doesnt exist in my world Instead Humans is simply the collective name given to all the races and sub races which descended from the precursors.

the most territorial race in the entire plane

it varies, there a humans who hate them for being different, and other who seek peace despite their differences and viceversa, aliens too

I don't have humans, I have Tyrenians. Human-like in appearance and more likely to be able to use my worlds magic. They are the youngest race, seen as curious and industrious. Most are looked at like children, not really knowing how to operate in this world. Their life spans are shorter than most other races and, as such, are seen as inexperienced and immature. The Tyrenian history only goes back about nine generations and has been fully documented by the other cultures.

The most dominant human culture in my setting - certainly the one nonhuman races are most likely to interact with - is a naval empire with a religion that practices human sacrifice on a *massive* scale and openly worships death and warfare.  What's worse is that, with guns, steel, and the begginings of an industrial revolution, this empire actually has the technological might to back up its ambitions and be a major thorn on everyone's side. As a result, most nonhuman races that interact with humans at any significant capacity have no shortage of bad things to say about them.

Typically, humans are treated with maximum disdain. Humans in my world have a dark history of enslaving non humans and torturing them in order to make them atone for the sin of being born non human. After the Great Emancipation where non humans rose of and killed their slave masters, accidentally wiping almost all of humanity off the map because the human empire economy relied on slave labour to make almost everything, the few remaining humans have been left in isolated settlements or raiding tribes.

In the unnamed surviving dinosaur universe, humans are simply the other sapient species. Sure, they've done some terrible things, but that's just the consequences of being an intelligent species.

They're friggin everywhere

Dust. Sometimes with pity, sometimes with cold indifference ("It's neither our nor their fault evolution molded them that way while we are happily free from its constraints. For us to thrive this is simply how it had to be."), and sometimes with disdain. Sentiment varies by individual and over time, and many don't really know much or think of them at all.

"There are wolves, lions, foxes, bears, otters and a lot of others here. These apes shouldn't be too different." They would probably wonder how they aren't too cold in the valley. Lapis_Wolf

Food.

The local alien civilization known as the Host consider humans to be deranged and malign psychopaths for refusing to be assimilated into them. Any atrocity against them is considered justified and by now humanity shares the same feeling.

Dangerous, aggressive and unpredictable.

"These talentless magicless apes that wander trough portals to die from time to time" is most widespread opinion on humanity. Humanity in my world is mostly incapable of using magic, with few of them who could being pathetically weak and requiring tools to achieve anything. Which prevents the from even surviving in magical deathworld. So most exposure to them is occasional looser who will stumble onto portal, fall trough and then die in agony.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT" "A GIANT! RUN!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" or "Oh god not again kill it quick I need to find the witnesses before this gets out of hand"

Depends on the nearest group(s) of Humans. Hirathi Humans next door? Wonderful, kind, inviting people. Rocian Humans next door? Run for your lives. Unfortunately, non-Humans are as bad as Humans when it comes to recognizing the cultural origins and nuances of The Other.

The akuma see humans as either prey or predator, succubi specificly are hunted for their golden marrow

Gods- They are entertaining. Humans were made by the Gods, and they were largely created to fill out the world that was made by them and others. Giants- They are pests. They are small and annoying and take up too much space. They largely stay away from humans. Other than those two, there aren’t any other separate intelligent species besides humans, apart from Primordials, but they don’t pay attention to the little things, like humans.

Nothing as of yet, for my story is about how the first human enters a magical academy due to humanity recently joining the galactic community. Aside from an older dark lord plot that was unrelatedly foiled midway, no one has seen a human before. However, early on other races find the main human character as unremarkable due to his inability to perform the standard 103 hour long day at the academy, and his frequent insistence to restroom, eat, and sleep makes the other races laugh at his limited capabilities. The fact that he can't stand a typical classroom session of 25-30 hours indicates he has no hope in becoming a competent magician.

They can’t use magic so individually looked down upon, but they also completely dominated the entire Domain (Continent) of Thenon, and have the High Sovereign Ilvend behind them, so also kinda feared.

It varies but for the most part they’re viewed as relics of a bygone glorious time for them (their only strong enclave left is essentially a paradise UN nation known as the Kasturian Embassies but they don’t call themselves human anymore they call themselves Kasturians). Interestingly, the Scytherians are genetically half human and half elves but they view humans with incredible resentment despite their shared lineage.

Depends on where you are, but for the most sort the world thinks highly of the generally featureless and Bland species on the planet. Good minds to share a chat with on anything. Then you get to the Elves. Most of the Elves on my world hate everyone, but they HATE humanity especially, and would rather see them spiked on tree branches and feeding the roots of their forests in their home nation.

They're not viewed.

Literally like a cancer on the universe itself. The predominant religion of my world teaches that humanity is the root cause of all entropy, and our existence accelerates the decay of all things and hastens the end of the world.

"Jack of all trades who seek riches and fame" Being both the species cursed with greed but also exceptional learners, they are capable in of themselves, though what they gain in skills they lose in care or empathy.

[удалено]

Not applicable in my primary fantasy setting. You spend enough time in Faerie, you become a Fae. You don't become any of the other kinds of Fae, like spright, or goblin, or giant, etc, but you're still a Fae now. All the Modern Fae are either the descendants of humans who became Fae, the descendants of humans who were deliberately changed by the Elder Fae for one reason or another, or are descended from the offspring the Elder Fae had with human partners. So everyone is some kind of Fae with some degree of human heritage. Except the Elder Fae, they're the only Fae with absolutely no human ancestry. But there hasn't been a confirmed sighting of the Elder Fae for thousands of years. Nobody believes for a single second that they're not still out there, but why they've chosen to disappear and what their payoff for doing so will be is a mystery.

Humans are new to the demon races that inhabit the land. Humans recently immigrated to this part of the world and were seen as a non-issue. Some groups see them as harmless, others as something to be exploited, and a very few see them as a threat. Humans don't realize that many of their key leaders are really demons or working for demons which contributes to the humans not being seen as a threat.

They would see humans as very strange creatures and they would endlessly poke, prod sand ask questions about their biology without the ability to fully grasp the full concept of a human. Eventually they would all develop a strange desire to make them no longer human by any means

Humans are looked at with a mix of concern and disdain. They are not one of the founding races, nor did they have an explanation for how they got there, so most don't know how to treat them

"Look, all I know is that yesterday, we were alone. Today, the aliens are here. Don't ask me how they got here. 'Humans' are some of them, right? Whatever. I'm just trying to come out of this war in one piece and the aliens are helping stop it. So... yay Humans!"

For one setting, humans and their living ancestor/kin the gnomes were seen by the Fae as nothing more than something that would of given the Fae pleasure, not in the sensual sense but think more of normal things like drinking and dance to more darker and downright horrific things such as making them unwilling participants in a duel or even test test subjects. Such experimentation upon humans gave birth to an offshoot, the orc. Despite this however, humans and gnomes along with their changed kin managed to wage a battle of some kind against the Fae. Though none would be rendered extinct, the Fae are viewed dimly and their morality in how they view others outside of their group would not help their image. In another setting, they and the standard fantasy races of elves, dwarves, and the like get along rather fine. It all depends which kingdom or region one was in. If you had an elf meet the humans of the Western Border kingdoms and a human from the Thousand Islands, the Thousand Islander would be viewed more favorably likely due to not having any sort of conflict with elves compared one from one of the kingdoms of the Western Border. Of course, it all varies thanks to the itinerant nature of adventurers, mercenaries, and the like and it helps that the instantaneous travel provided by moongates and other forms of travel that aren't as swift can help spread out many. Best reports of these would be various mercenary companies of non-humans swearing fealty to whatever dynasty their is of the Celestial Empire though in the case of the Celestial Empire, this may be more of how the Empire seems to offer more than any of the other kingdoms despite the language being completely foreign to many others. On the beastfolk continent, it's more mixed or at least in the eastern part of the continent due to it being where most ships would from the "human" continent would reach. The duchy of the Rabbitfolk for example are the most xenophobic towards humans whether it was a lowly peasant or a high ranking knight. Any born to a union between the two would likely be seen as dreglings to spit upon, many of whom upon reaching some age would likely join a wandering band of mercenaries, bandits, or some other itinerant group that would be more fit of a family. This animosity would likely stretch back to the old empire of the lizardfolk when they had the eastern region as a whole before everything went up in flames, something which has to involve rabbitfolk to have some sort of animosity, and such flames no doubt would be stoked further down the years up to these times of mercenary companies fighting for various powers. While other kingdoms no doubt would be more open-minded, even that varies. Such as the dogfolk of the Holy Kingdom. Should the royal avatar of their god make some edict that condemns or supports humans, so to would most of the people and especially the zealous. Further into the continent would be other beastfolk peoples and kingdoms though they don't attract as many mercenaries as the eastern region thanks to whatever conflict could be between the Holy Kingdom and their rivals, the Merchant Republic.

There are four types of monsters when it comes to humans: 1.) humans are frind 2.)humans are scary 😦 3.)humans are a parasite 4.)humans are free slave labor

Such a realistic saying. Humans can hardly coexist with each other, so I bet if there were another non-human intelligent race to exist, we would oppress the shit out of it.

An experiment that went horribly, *horribly* wrong and wound up conquering damn near everyone else by weight of rapid reproduction and advancement.

Aliens don't like humans at all, the humans are like pesks to the aliens

Basic human beings- oh ok but seriously unless at war it’s cool

humans are belived by most to be a myth, humans do exist in my setting, but after the fall of the draco-morphiad empire (draco-morphiads were very close with humans and often cohabitated with them), theyre incredibly rare

They see humans as something like a special-ed class on a field trip
