Humans are the predominant race on Athas. The colors of skin, eyes, and hair vary widely. On Athas, centuries of abusive magic have not only scarred the landscape-they've twisted the essence of human appearance, as well. Many humans look normal, and could pass unnoticed among humans of other worlds. Others, however, have marked alterations to their appearance. Their facial features might be slightly bizarre; a large chin or nose, pointed ears, no facial hair, etc. Their coloration might be subtly different, such as coppery, golden brown, hues of grey, or patchy. The differences may be more physical, such as webbed toes or fingers, longer or shorter limbs, etc.
The children of humans and other races produce the so-called half-races: half-elves and muls. It is important to note, however, that half-giants are a race born of a magical union in the distant past; half-giants can only reproduce with one another.
Humans are generally tolerant of other races. They can easily adapt to situations involving elves or dwarves, and even more exotic races such as half-giants and thri-kreen. Where other, less tolerant races come into contact with one another, humans often serve as diplomatic buffers.
