Every creature, including every player character, has a tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature it is. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. These are the game's creature types:
Aberration
Elemental
Monstrosity
Beast
Fey
Ooze
Celestial
Fiend
Plant
Construct
Giant
Undead
Dragon
Humanoid
The types don't have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways.
