All Races in The Veil
Your race changes core stats such as damage, resistance, luck or summon power. The Stylist in the spawn town handles rerolls. The exception is Shrouded, a secret race you earn from a quest instead of rolling.
Before you reroll
Keep Veilborne. Keep Goblin for casting and loot, Gemhead for summons, Underling for fire-resistant casting and Obelite for a durable build. Human improves as prestige rises, so it is more useful than its Common label first suggests.
All Races Tier List and Effect Showcase
A launch-day visual walkthrough of all 10 races, their displayed effects and the creator's early ranking. Use the footage as a showcase; balance opinions can age quickly.
| Race | Rarity | Tier | Observed effect / use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veilborne | Legendary | S | Stacks universal damage and speed faster than other races and adds a night-only active boost. |
| Goblin | Uncommon | A | +20% luck, +10% cast damage and 10% shorter cast cooldowns make this an unusually efficient caster roll. |
| Gemhead | Rare | A | +10% summon damage and +15% summon life give it the cleanest dedicated summoner package. |
| Obelite | Elite | A | A defensive race with resistance, stun resistance and knockback at the cost of movement and recovery. |
| Underling | Rare | A | +25% fire resistance, +10% regeneration and +15% cast damage form a strong magic-oriented package. |
| Human | Common | B | Gains 13 maximum HP per prestige instead of the normal 10, so its advantage grows over time. |
| Wraith | Rare | B | Has a 10% Phase chance to ignore an incoming hit entirely, increased from 5% in VEILOWEEN. |
| Mushling | Rare | B | Improves regeneration and healing received, with a stamina-regeneration penalty and a recovery active. |
| Skeleton | Uncommon | C | +10% speed and +10% summon damage come with -5% resistance. |
| Hiveling | Uncommon | C | Trades attack speed and daytime resistance for damage and stronger resistance at night. |
The secret race: Shrouded
Shrouded is not in the table because the Stylist does not hand it out. It is an Elite race you earn from the Pit Tamer, an NPC at the bottom of a tunnel under Camp Zero. Wear a Cowl and a Ragged Cloth, kill 100 Shrouded, then jump into a pit of white flame. It gives a third mid-air jump, +10% movement speed and +10% attack speed for −10% damage, and it replaces your current race. Four recordings between September 7 and October 5 show the same route. Checked October 6, 2026.

New in VEILOWEEN: Vampire and an event race
The Halloween update on October 10 added two races. The developer's update log lists Vampire as a new regular race, separate from the event, and one new event race without naming it. The table remains the original ten rollable races; Dullahan's event panel is described separately below, and Vampire's effect remains unverified.
- Vampire is called a regular race in contrast to the event race, which suggests it joins the Stylist's pool, but its effect and roll odds are not published.
- Dullahan now has a readable race panel in Johnthetechguy's October 13 upload, which labels it obtainable during Veiloween 2026. One recorded panel: Blindness immunity, +10% universal damage, −10% fire resistance, an aura displaying −20% Insanity within 50 studs, and a 20-second summon ability. The video shows the Witch's 20,000-Candy exchange and a Dullahan Token in the inventory; the price agrees with EZConstableOnTop and OyO. Token use is cut out. Read the footage and evidence limits before spending. Effects checked October 14, 2026.
The token tooltip warns that using it removes your current race and turns you into Dullahan. A community-shared game screenshot supplies that warning; it does not show the actual conversion or later reroll behaviour. See the token screenshot before using it. Checked October 20, 2026.
The same update changed four races in the table: Veilborne's Nightfall now gives +15% universal damage and speed and it gained a new passive, Mushling's Decompose went from +25% to +50% regeneration, Skeleton's resistance penalty was halved to −5%, and Wraith's Phase chance rose from 5% to 10%. These changes are listed in the developer's VEILOWEEN log, re-read October 15, 2026.

View effect →Uncommon · A tierGoblin
Casting-heavy progression, loot farming and early players who want useful bonuses without chasing a legendary roll.
View effect →Rare · A tierGemhead
Summoner builds, especially when your class and equipment already produce reliable summons.
View effect →Elite · A tierObelite
Defensive play, learning boss patterns and builds that can tolerate slower movement.
View effect →Rare · A tierUnderling
Caster builds and routes where fire damage is common. Regeneration also helps between fights.
View effect →Common · B tierHuman
Long-term survivability and new players who want a simple passive with no rotation or timing requirement.

General survival when you do not yet have a tightly specialized build.
View effect →Rare · B tierMushling
Sustain-focused play and groups that can protect a slower recovery window.
View effect →Uncommon · C tierSkeleton

View effect →Uncommon · C tierHiveling
Night farming and ability-led builds that are less dependent on basic attack speed.
View effect →How race rerolls work
Visit the Stylist NPC in the spawn town to reach the reroll interface. Free rerolls can come from daily rewards and current codes. Because beta balance patches can change bonuses quickly, decide on a build direction before using the full stack.
- Load a character slot. Race changes happen in the game world, not on the opening menu.
- Collect a Race Reroll. Redeem an active code or claim a daily reward before visiting the Stylist.
- Find the Stylist in the spawn town. Talk to the NPC to open the race reroll screen.
- Roll once, then read the result. Check the new race's bonuses against your planned weapon and class before spending another reroll.
Rarity is not the whole ranking
Rarity measures how hard a race is to roll, while the tier list estimates practical value. Human is Common but gains maximum health from prestige. Goblin is Uncommon yet offers three useful caster bonuses. A rarer roll can still be worse for the class you plan to play.
The current race is Veilborne, not “Whaleborn”; Wraith, not “Rat”; and Obelite, not “Obolite.” The database was corrected after a September 8 cross-check. Exact random roll odds are still not published.
