 * Lilliputian: Lilliputians look much like regular humans, except that they're only 6 inches high. The hail from the small city of Lilliput, located on a remote island in the Homelands, having never ventured out beyond their borders. Finally, word of the Adversary's conquest of kingdoms reached their small ears, and they decided to help in the resistance effort. When a small ship full of their soldiers reached the beaches of a foreign land, they noticed quickly how everything was bigger than they were, animals and people. They called these giants "Gullivers", after another giant male their people once came across. Unfortunately, the Lilliputian Knights were stranded once their ship was destroyed by a large Goblin, and they couldn't return home. They heard some of the locals whispering about a portal to a new world where the Adversary's forces couldn't reach, so the knights embarked on a new journey across the land of the Gullivers to the portal where they can build themselves a new home, since they have no way of returning to Lilliput. Because of their diminutive size, they had to live on the Farm, where they built a town called, ironically, Smalltown.
 * Literal: A family of anthropomorphic personifications of literary devices. As such each bears a great power according to their theme. One of them is even credited to have created all the Fables. Perhaps, the most relevant of their characteristics is their awareness of the fictional nature of their own universe, as they acknowledge the editors, artists and even the reader of the book from time to time. Among themselves there are certain subsets such as the Librarians, the Genres and the Walls. They, unlike the Fables, are truly immortal. If they died they would simply come back to life given a few years if their theme hasn't been overtaken by another (such as it was case with Prose Page and her daughters), and the oldest among them have existed since the beginning of time.
 * Merfolk: An aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a male or female human and the tail of a fish.
 * Minotaur: A large supernatural bull-like creature with great strength.
 * Munchkin:  A native of the Munchkin Country in the Oz.
 * Mundy: In the Fables continuity, a Mundy (short for Mundane) represents a normal Earth human who is unaware of the existence of Fables. Often intended as as derogatory term, Fables traditionally do not like associating with Mundies and believe them to be an inferior race.
 * Night Walker: A raving hairy monster with four arms and that congregate underground. When the Empire was in power they were magically enslaved to do the Empire's bidding. After the Empire fell, they were freed only to wind up controlled again by another sorcerer, causing them to seek the aid of Jack Frost.

 * Troll: A large, brutish creature with incredible strength and horns.
 * Unicorn: A supernatural horse-like being with a single horn.
 * Vampire: A fell spirit returned from the dead that ordinarily fed upon human blood.
 * Werewolf: They are supernatural shapeshifting species of individuals who unwillingly transform into large, fearsome, and extremely hostile wolf-like creature on the night of the full moon. According to Bigby in Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland, werewolves were rare, hunted almost to extinction. However, in the Mundy World there exists a breed of werewolves (coined "homo sapiens lupus") that were created from being infected by Bigby's blood, which contained the lycanthropic virus. Arthur Harp and Doctor Sieglibde von Abusberg und Traun had been the first to be transformed into immortal werewolves. After the two had been fully transformed, Sieglibde used her specialization in blood disorders to isolate the lycanthropic mechanism and transmitted it to several chosen subjects by injecting them with their “tainted” blood.
 * Wooden Puppet: Wooden marionettes given life by the power of the Blue Fairy. They primarily served Geppetto and thus the Empire.
 * Yōkai: Supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons native to the Japanese Homelands. Including various kitsune, kappa, rokurokubi, bakeneko, funayurei and tanuki (only referred to as "raccoons").
 * Zephyr: A living gust of wind, similar to the North Wind’s attendant winds, except that it cannot take solid form. They’re extremely rare – a corrupted version of the Cardinal Winds; something of an extreme birth defect. According to Mr. North, wild zephyrs are foul, wild things who are little more than beasts and normally killed at nativity. Like other beings composed of wind, they like to feed off the air directly from a person’s lungs; despite being a particular delicacy, it can suffocate the victim if the zephyr’s careless or untrained.
 * Zombie: An undead being created through the reanimation of a corpse.
