Every Intelligent Race Explained in 10 Minutes

Fantasy worlds are never just humans. From the elves who started as dangerous Norse spirits, to orcs that went from disposable villains to fan favorites, to dwarves who forged some of mythology's most powerful weapons by hand, every fantasy universe builds a cast of intelligent races that each answer one question differently: what does it mean to be powerful? In this video, we break down 12 intelligent races: Human, Elf, Orc, Beastfolk, Goblin, Titan, Troll, Ogre, Gnome, Fairy, Mermaid, and Dwarf. You'll learn the real folklore and mythology behind each one, plus how games, anime, and movies reinvented them, from Tolkien's Middle-earth and Skyrim to World of Warcraft, Attack on Titan, and Shrek. 0:00 - Human 0:12 - Elf 1:04 - Orc 1:57 - Beastfolk 2:51 - Goblin 3:46 - Titan 4:33 - Troll 5:31 - Ogre 6:21 - Gnome 7:21 - Fairy 8:09 - Mermaid 9:04 - Dwarf Whether you're into mythology, fantasy worldbuilding, or just love finding out where your favorite fantasy races actually came from, this one's for you.
