All creatures have a race. Races consist of two parts; type and sub-type. Type is usually a species, while the sub-type is a variety of the species. For example, if you choose to play as a Higher, your type will be "Human", and your sub-type "Higher". This will be displayed as "Human/Higher" in the game.

Type and Sub-type are used for certain abilities, most notably for telepathy. The cursed's Predator talent tree also heavily relies on this concept.
