For simpler and more straightforward campaigns, player-characters should be made from common races or sometimes uncommon races. The exotic races within this page are considered a variant rule, as most exotic races are noticeably more complicated than their common and uncommon counterparts.

Races on this page can still be used as player-characters, but require approval by the DM. It should be noted that some backgrounds may be nonsensical for a member of an exotic race.

Table: Exotic Races

Race	Description	Considerations
Cobble	The Cobble Kingdom was once a large civilization, capable of constructing huge pyramids, powerful machines, and expertly crafted swords. Before their fall, the Cobble people were known for their expert swordsmen and powers of premonition.	Very few Cobble, if any, survived the fall of the Cobble Kingdom. Most characters with this race would be of a mixed ancestry, although they would retain only the features of their Cobble heritage.
Cukeman	Slimes that have been given a semblance of intelligence through magical means.	Most humanoids can not discern the difference between Cukemen and the monstrous Buzz Blob a Cukeman resembles and will attack or flee on sight.
Fairy	Fairies are tiny creatures that appear as a glow, but can be seen to look like incredibly small, winged hylians.	Any fairy is of Tiny size, which is very unusual for a player-character. Additionally, Fairies are capable of unrestricted flight, which can be an overly powerful boon for a low-level player-character.
Goriya	Furry and with wolf-like facial features, goriya are both pioneers and masters of combat via boomerang.	Most humanoids consider goriya to be monsters, and will fight or flee from them on sight.
Hyrulean Robot	Hyrulean Robots, also known as Ancient Robots, are known as very intelligent mechanical beings that link Hyrule's ancient technological past to their modern medieval present. They are credited as one of the races that stood besides Hylia against Demise.	Hyrulean robots have sizes that vary wildly. Some Hyrulean robots are Large, some are Medium, and others are Small. Additionally, some Hyrulean robots are capable of unrestricted flight at 5th level, which can trivialize many common challenges.
Kikwi	Short, stout fur-covered creatures with plants on their back, renowned for their secretive and reclusive nature. They are credited as one of the races that stood besides Hylia against Demise.	For most people, interaction with a Kikwi is rare. Like the Zonai, Kikwi are mostly seen early in the history of Hyrule, and they become more and more uncommon as time passes.
Lizalfos	Reptilian humanoids that are most often found in marshes and wetlands. They come in diverse varieties capable of flight, fire breath, and more.	Most humanoids consider lizalfos to be monsters, and will fight or flee from them on sight. Additionally, Aeralfos are capable of unrestricted flight, which can be an overly powerful boon for a low-level player-character.
Lynel	A lynel has the head of a lion, the chest and arms of the strongest hylian you would ever meet, and the legs of draft horse. Facing one alone in combat is a death sentence.	Most humanoids consider lynels to be fearsome monsters, and will fight or flee from them on sight. Any lynel is of Large size, which is unusual for a player-character.
Maiamai	Maiamai are small, squid-like humanoids that form matriarchal societies, often ruled by a sole female. Due to the large number of offspring a ruling Maiamai has, these societies can grow quite large.	Most Maiamai remain fully integrated within the society of their fellow Maiamai, however a select few Maiamai (including most player characters) choose to explore beyond the world they know and become individuals tied to no society or clan.
Minish	Tiny and altruistic mouse-like humanoids that are so small they are virtually invisible.	Any minish is of Tiny size, which is very unusual for a player-character.
Moblin	Brutish and evil, moblins are disliked by almost all other races — even other monsters. They come in many varieties and sizes.	Most humanoids consider moblins to be monsters, and will fight or flee from them on sight. Some moblin subraces are of Large size, which is unusual for a player-character.
Mogma	With their powerful upper bodies, these mole men burrow through dirt and sand at incredible speed. They are credited as one of the races that stood besides Hylia against Demise.	Mogma are capable of burrowing underground, enabling them to avoid many traditional hazards or obstacles.
Parella	Aquatic creatures believed to share a common ancestor with zora. They are credited as one of the races that stood besides Hylia against Demise.	Parella are aquatic creatures with no legs. It is very difficult for them to move on land, and they have a base walking speed reflecting that.
Poe	Floating, undead, legless ghosts who rarely remember anything from their former lives. Their souls are trapped in lanterns they are cursed to bear eternally in the afterlife.	Most humanoids consider poes to be monsters, and will fight or flee from them on sight. Poes are undead and lack legs, which is very unusual for a player-character. Additionally, Poes have a Racial Feat that grants them unrestricted flight, which can trivialize many common challenges.
Stalfos	Stalfos are known as fearless warriors, brought back from the realm of the dead for a specific purpose.	Most humanoids consider Stalfos to be monsters and will fight or flee from them on sight.
Subrosian	Small, mysterious, subterranean people who already wear robes and habitually bathe in lava — to them, sunlight and open skies are quite alien phenomena.	Subrosians are foreign beings ill-suited to living above ground. Any subrosian is immune to fire damage, enabling it to safely ignore many hazards that would be lethal.
Twili	Hailing from the Twilight Realm, twili share ancient ancestors with hylians. Unlike their Light World counterparts, twili are still widely adept with magic.	Twili hail from an alien dimension called the Twilight Realm, and do not normally exist in Hyrule.
Weapon Spirit	Weapon spirits are created to serve a purpose, whether it be guiding a hero through their prophecy, protecting their weapon, or aiding their creator.	Weapon Spirits play with certain restrictions and abilities that make them very different from most races, since they are reliant upon their Linked Weapon. DMs should be cautious in allowing a player to play as a Weapon Spirit in their game.
Wolfos	Wolfos, be they Grey or White are feared for their speed, resilience and fearsome claws and fangs.	Wolfos are monsters akin to wild wolves, and are often treated as such.
Yeti	Yooks and white yeti alike are known for their physical power and ability to withstand brutal cold — less so for their questionable intelligence.	White Yeti are of Large size, which is unusual for a player-character.
Zonai	The Zonai are an ancient race, said to be descendants of the gods themselves.	Zonai are extinct, or have whereabouts unknown, for most of Hyrule's history. Most people would regard a Zonai with a mixture of fear and awe.

Hyrulean Robot

Hyrule has had many forms of artificial life, and curiously, they all go back to the Shiekah Tribe. The Sheikah Tribe was known for many advancements in Hyrule but were forced to hide those talents away, lest they disturbed the natural order and invoked the wrath of the gods or the Hyrulean Royal Family, their closest allies.

You are an artificial life that is powered by spatial-temporal manipulating stones called Timeshift Stones.

Although you are powered by a Timeshift Orb, you cannot use it to travel through time.

• Size. The height of a Lanayru Desert robot varies, but the most common model stands at around 3 feet. Your size is either Small or Medium.
• Speed. You have a base walking speed of 25 feet.
• Alignment. Most Lanayru Desert Robots follow their leaders without question. They will not do anything without their superior's permission, and will only act out of line to the benefit of that superior.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2, and one other Ability Score of your choice increases by 1.
• Artificial Enhancements. Your artificial nature allows you to integrate up to two artificial melee weapons into your body.

While it is extended, you can use an integrated weapon as if you were holding it, and you can't use a hand with an extended integrated weapon for other purposes.
  The most common type of integrated weapon is a Glove weapon, such as pair of Clawed Gloves. To integrate a weapon, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you remain in contact with the weapon. To remove a weapon you have integrated, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while integrating or removing a weapon in this way. While you live, your incorporated weapon can't be removed against your will.
  At 5th level, you also gain the ability to attach a propeller to your head, granting you a flying speed equal to your walking speed. This propeller must be specially made, and costs 5000 rp.

Variant: Shiekah Guardian Robots

You are a robot built to destroy everything you see, given the order. You were created for a simple purpose: the purging of evil from the land. However, your programming was not perfected, and thus you can act of your own free will, or even be manipulated to turn to the other side.

• Size. The height of a Guardian varies, but the most common model stands at around 5 feet. Your size is either Medium or Large.
• Speed. You have a base walking speed of 30 feet.
• Alignment. Guardians would usually walk hand-in-hand with other humanoid races, especially Sheikah and Hylians. Sheikah Guardian Robots roam freely around the world, apprehending any potential target that is perceived as a threat, especially evil individuals. They are neutral, leaning towards lawful good, but that is not something set in stone.
• Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and one other Ability Score of your choice increases by 1.
• Specialized Assault. You gain proficiency with either three martial weapons of your choice or two martial weapons and a shield.
• Beam Weapon. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with beam of energy from your eye.

Source

• Size. A typical minish is 3 inches tall at most, and weighs about 1 pound. Your size is, for most purposes, Tiny. You are however so diminutive that you can ride in the pocket of a Small or Medium humanoid. You can occupy and move through the space of any creature (excluding a creature that fills the entirety of its space, such as certain oozes). You can survive on what other creatures would consider crumbs; a mere drop of water is enough to quench your thirst for hours. Your carrying capacity or encumbrance is 1% what it would be for a Medium creature.

White Yeti

• Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1.
• Size. A yeti is of great size, usually 10 to 12 feet in height, and weighs in the neighborhood of 1600 lbs. Your size is Large. As such compared to a Medium creature you require four times as much food and water, have double carrying capacity or encumbrance for your Strength score, may require special equipment, and can't ride mounts of Large size or smaller. In combat you occupy a 10-foot square instead of a 5-foot square, but you have the same reach as a Medium creature.
• Large Equipment. As a Large humanoid, you can wield normal-sized weapons, but are better off wielding weapons sized for you; see Weapons of Unusual Size. You can't wear normal armor or clothes, but instead must wear armor sized for a Large creature; such gear costs twice as much and weighs eight times as much.
• Cold Endurance. You are comfortable even in the coldest of climates, and do not need to make saving throws or ability checks for enduring cold weather, even in cold weather enhanced by magic.
• Long Strides. Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet.

Yook

• Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice from Strength, Constitution, and Wisdom increases by 1.
• Ice Breath. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with a wave of ice that covers a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 2d6 cold damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (3d6), 11th level (4d6), and 17th level (5d6).
  You can use your Ice Breath a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
• Ancestral Arms. You are proficient with clubs and greatclubs, and have +1 bonus on damage rolls made with these weapons.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score and Wisdom score both increase by 2.
• Age. A Zonai is considered to be an adult at the age of 21 and lives for an average of 125 years
• Alignment. Due to living in a unified, relatively advanced society, Zonai tend to be Lawful Good
• Size. A Zonai has a height range between 7ft to 8ft tall and have an average weight of 250 lbs. Your size is medium.
• Speed. You have a base walking speed of 30.
• Languages. You can read, write, and speak both Common and Zonai.
• Ultrahand. You learn the Mage Hand cantrip, and when you cast it, the maximum weight the hand can carry is increased to 30 lbs. Your spellcasting ability for this feature is Intelligence.
• Zonai Techniques. Due to your heritage, you have access to the following techniques known only to the Zonai:

• Ascend. As an action, you may begin traveling upward through a solid material that is at most 5 ft above you. While moving upward, you move at a rate of 10 feet per round. You cannot Ascend if the terrain at the top is uneven or unable to support your weight, and if you travel to a height of 50 feet without reaching an open space, you quickly travel back downwards to your original location over the course of 1 turn.
• Autobuild. When you cast Mage Hand, you can begin the construction of a small item. The object you are constructing must have a rupee value of 250 or less, must fit within a 5 foot cube, and must be able to be made by attaching together your available materials. The Mage Hand completes its construction at the start of your next turn.
• Recall. As a bonus action, you can rewind an object up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. The object must have occupied that space at some point after the start of the previous round.
• Fuse. As a bonus action, you can Fuse a non-magical item to a melee weapon or piece of ammunition you are holding. An attack using a fused object has its damage dice increased by one step (See Weapons of Unusual Size, 2d4 → 1d12). Certain Fuse combinations might have additional effects, subject to DM approval. An item Fused to another object is destroyed after it is used to deal any damage, if it takes any damage, if you use this ability again, or after one minute.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
