Monstrous humanoid

Monstrous humanoids are a "creature type" in the 3rd and 3.5 editions of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. Monstrous humanoids are differentiated from humanoids by their monstrous or animalistic features, and not all are technically "humanoid" in body form. They also often have supernatural or extraordinary abilities.

All monstrous humanoids have darkvision out to 60 feet. As a group, they have no other special abilities or immunities.

In 4th edition, monstrous humanoid was merged into the humanoid type.
