Werewolves?

Since Golems and such were added to this page, do you think werewolves should also be added? WhiteClaudia (talk) 19:01, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe I was wrong by adding golems, because they are creatures.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 19:13, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

I think there should be some criteria on what we should consider on this fantasy universe as race. I think we could use wikipedia's interpretation:

Many fantasy stories and worlds refer to their main sapient humanoid species as "races" rather than species.

As such, darkspawn can be described as sapient since they are able to craft various things as well as some of them possess advanced thinking and speech (the Architect, The Disciples). On the contrary, ghasts should be consider as "animals" since according to their codex entry "they show no signs of true intelligence".

Furthermore, as humanoid is another condition, spirits and demons should be excluded.
