The most common race on the Discworld by sheer dint of enthusiasm in breeding. With no real features that make them stand out, they are, on average, of average height and weight, as individuals they can be quite intelligent, but in crowds the IQ of each individual in that crowd can be worked out thus:

IQ of most stupid person in crowd / number of people in said crowd = IQ of each person in crowd

Nevertheless, most of the Discworld heroes, wizards, witches and people worth any note at all are human. This is probably because, as already has been stated, humans are the most common race on the Disc, so if heroes, wizards etc are picked by fate at random, the odds on bet is that that character worthy of note will be human. Any that aren't human and yet are still worthy of note can thus be treated as a simple anomaly and be ignored.

Characters are listed under their surname unless it's unknown.
