Choose A Species

Every character in Heroes in the Storm belongs to one of the many intelligent Species of Arden. Humans are the most widely spread people on the continent of Adrianus, but they live and work alongside Dwarves, Elves and Halflings, which are the most common other species. Some of these species also exhibit distinct Races, such as Wood Elves and High Elves within the Elven species. Countless more unusual species, such as the Dragonborn, also populate the world.

The aforementioned species are described in brief below. For an expanded list and more information on the various species, such as the mighty Goliath, or fiend-blooded Tieflings, see here.

• Dragonborn are draconic humanoids, with elemental affinities resembling those of true dragons.

• Dwarves are short and stocky with wide, compact bodies that account for their burly appearance.

• Elves are a tall, androgynous people of otherworldly grace, with an affinity for the fey and the natural world.

• Halflings have the appearance of small humans with broad hairy feet and a reputation for uncanny luck.

• Humans are the most adaptable and driven of Arden’s peoples, with great capacity to endure and expand.
