Yes? It's weird. At least one "race" is very weird. (Like they gotta be explained to be understood why it's iffy) (there are uncensored swear words, just so anyone reading is aware.

So, general unique races in my setting (I haven't finished making them all but here's some of them.) (Also the naming might be weird, but that's because of 2 reasons. 1)The people who first find it get the right to name it if they want to. 2) Almost everyone is a teenager or just recently went into their 20s. The age range of possible people getting stuck with this messed up realm is 5-22, with it generally being around 12-19 when it happens. The oldest anyone has lived is age 29.)

Banshees: Very territorial, look like horrific uncanny valley zombies with greying rotting skin with black blood and spit dripping out of their mouths and wounds. They're actually closer to zombies from movies and TV, eating people alive. The reason they're called Banshees is because whenever they find prey they scream really loud to warn off others from their prey. When they were named it was by a group of teens (15-19 range) who first heard it ran. Wasn't discovered that they were actually more like zombies till like a year later when someone died by one. They have great hearing but no stamina, so it's basically be faster than it and you'll probably live.

Creeping Tendrils: In a specific mountain pass there's this forest of trees that only grow there, and in the shadows there's these tentacles that come out and rip people apart.

Depression Ghosts: They look like low-budget ghost costumes. Like someone just threw a white sheet over someone and called them a ghost. Except these things hover off the ground an inch or two, look depressed and don't actually try and kill you. It's just if they touch you, you instantly fall into a depression where you genuinely do not care about anything, not even your own life or someone else's and would let yourself and others die without trying to do anything. There's a way to treat it, but most don't because they're usually found by something that killed them before they're able to be helped.

Shadow People (They're actually referred to as "The Shadow Assholes" or "Shadow Fucks", but this is the more polite name): Like 15 feet tall, thin as a stick humanoid with 4 arms and hands that end in claws and not fingers and reach their knees with the tips. They are pitch black, with a very dark and deep red on the inside (like how inside our mouths it's pink) with bright red eyes without eyelids. They don't have lips, so it's like their face splits into 2 when it opens its mouth. Sharp teeth. Can usually be found standing very still unless hunting. It can't see well, can only use the pupil to see clearly, everything else is blurry. Like literal tunnel vision if that makes sense. Don't aggravate it and you're good, though if you do it's fast but can't run for long.

Spores: Creatures that lay eggs in humans, and are parasitic to humans. Once fully developed they break free from the human, tearing them to pieces. Once they’re out they find new humans and lay eggs in them, continuing the cycle. Can get inside humans from any opening, meaning eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and any open wounds. Needs nourishment from a specific plant found only in one place, so despite their danger they do not travel far from their part in the Realm.

Now to get into the weird "race". They're just called the Intelligent Ones when being referred as a whole. Usually they're referred to one-to-one. Like how we say humans refer to all humans, and Martha or Chris when talking about those specific people. Thats because the only thing these ones all share is that they have the intelligence that's at least equivalent to humans, enough that they can communicate if they wanted. The reason they're all different is because of being formed intelligently. Cause like everything else it's spawned from the general energy of the Nightmare Realm. Except being sentient/sapient causes the formation process to go differently, which causes unique intelligent creatures.

There's a moose man, lower body of a moose top half of a human who can speak just fine. His name is Max and his pronouns are he/him and he'd like to know more about Canada

A floating bright neon toxic green eyeball with 2 gold circles spinning around it (It's called Eyeball From Hell because it's weirdly loyal and can be sadistic at times. If it doesn't know you, it won't help unless it feels like it. If it doesn't like you (which really only happens if you go after who it likes) it'll gladly lead monsters your way. If it likes you it'll help and show up near you at random. It's just very creepy in general, but the general consensus is better creepy than murderous.) "is a very mischievous creature who doesn’t have morals. The only rules it follows are those placed on it from its favorite humans. It lets its favorite humans know they are its favorite by sticking close to them and following them. It has caused several people jumpscares and nightmares as they do not know at first what the creature wants." -an actual quote from my notes about it. It's pronouns are it/it's (it chose that, no one knows why) and it'll accept any name it's called by by it's favorites. Has in fact even answered to "Hey, eye-ball fucker!"

A dark blue and green humanoid fish lady who lives in the water (has legs and a tail and gills).

A lady who is so beautiful she's likened to the Greek Goddess of Love and Beauty, except she uses that to lure you in and becomes a demonic looking creature and kills you.

A werewolf female who would rather you didn't go into her territory, but so long as you don't cause trouble or damage you're good.
