Introduction:

There are, perhaps, trillions of species spread out across the Universe (not even counting their races/subsets).  You may deal with millions just on this world.  This page lists many of the ones known to Earth.  There are three main categories:

  1. science-fiction species from books, games, and film
  2. all mythological, legendary, hybrid, humanoid, and biblical species, including all of the dozens (sometimes hundreds) of types of angels, demons, elves, dwarves, and fairies (sometimes called fay, fairfolk, or gentry, etc.)
  3. those made by Inisfree

This webpage focuses on the sapient ones.

Humanity’s Policy:

For countless generations, the ruling authorities of humanity have proactively endeavored to efface any and all evidence of non-human intelligence. On Earth, religious texts were altered to hide any shred of semblance to contact with extra-terrestrials. Pyramids were demolished and bull-dozed into the sea. Once Space-flight was achieved, faux expeditions were sent to the Moon and Mars to detonate surplus nuclear weapons from the Cold War over sites like Cydonia.  Although humanity maintains peaceful relations with many alien civilizations and individuals, these relations are kept classified, and only rumors and ghost stories of abductions flood the public’s media.

Realizations & Findings about how Humans regard the other Species:

Humans lie a lot. A LOT. They have a tendency, perhaps an addiction, to hyperbole; they make up wild stories which are generally baseless allegations seeking to make them look better by default, thus sparing them, at least in the company of fools, from having to do any work or achieve any real accomplishments of note. They demonize everything not mediocre and cowardly, including their own kind, and especially the people of all other races, starting with Blacks, and extending to healers, wizards, Vampires and even their own Angels, warning people not to trust any of them, when instead they should be learning from each and every one, befriending, perhaps, them all. And the things which seem too powerful or beautiful for their weak-minded species (humanity) to believe are real, they, of course, assume and preach are mythological, instead of doing the logical thing which, of course, would be to take a few moments to actually think enough to determine how they could evolve and be befriended. Thankfully, though, there are those amongst the humans who were born outside this pathetic social and genetic stagnation loop; there are people such as Auz, the Governor of Inisfree, who go out and actually find out for certain which legends have truth, and which need revision. Thanks to daring souls such as him, we in his capital city, Inisfree, know the reality about the biodiversity of the Earth and all other worlds.

 

Realizations & Findings about the Humanoid Species:

  • There are some angels which are foolhardy, just as there tend to be in Any race of many billions; not all are gifted and correct all the time. There have also been Wars between various factions of the angels, though the storied Fall from Grace was little like the humans dreamed up in their fairy-tale called the Bible and Qur’an.
  • Asari look like blue-skinned humans with squid tentacles instead of hair, and, like the Inisfreeans, they are always born female, and are always open to the idea of having sex with anyone compatible; human, humanoid, or otherwise. This means that, just like the Inisfreeans, they are one of the least-racist races (species) in the whole Universe. Asari also have some biotic abilities, some of which resemble Jedi powers.
  • Asparas are essentially exceptionally beautiful and graceful dancers native to India, though appearing more Asian or of mixed descent than Indian. Their wiring is slightly more to dance than to have sex, so though they are outstanding at sex, they aren’t quite as good as the nymphs.
  • Demi-deities are much like humans, but with a variety of abilities which make even geniuses and Olympians look, at times, by comparison to these demi-deities, like handicapped people. Demi-deities have all the quirks of their human parents, and watered-down abilities of their god/goddess parents. They are a tier above the X-Men, and a tier below beings such as Thor and Freyja.
  • Demons are like Americans in the sense that they both broke off from their parent nation to start fresh. Americans went to another realm, had a few years of fighting with their ancestors, then were on friendly and allied terms again. The same happened between the Angels who stayed in the dimension known to the humans as Heaven, and the Angels who migrated to other realms, one of which is called Hel by the Norse humans, and Hell by other groups of humans. As Demons are all Angels, like the Angels, they have the full spectrum of personality types, jobs, and levels of intelligence, many of which some Angels/Demons shift between, trying out different ones during the courses of their lengthy lives.
  • Dinoids, also known as Reptoids, are reptilian humanoids who evolved not from primates, as the humans did (though some devolved from Angels, some of them interbreeding along the way), but from dinosaurs. Having been around for tens to hundreds of millions of years, they are one of the most advanced races (species) in Creation, making them one of the easiest for the Inisfreeans to get along with, for Inisfreeans need/crave brilliant, gifted, timeless friends, which humans were never able to be. An interesting note about this race is that two of their versions of the Werewolf are the Were-triceratops and Were-velociraptor; some humans turn into Werewolves, and some Dinoids/Reptoids turn into Were-triceratops or Were-velociraptors at certain times.
  • Drow are a race of Elves; tall, skinny humans who humans would rudely assume are borderline anorexic. They look like gray-skinned humans, but as a smooth, healthy, charcoal complexion. The irises of their eyes are often golden, red, or lavender, and their hair is usually a rich white.
  • Eldar are Elves of Spaceships and other worlds, and are closely related to the Angels (and the Angels who are Demons).
  • Elementals look like human silhouettes around earthen, watery, wind-based, or fiery centers. Like the humans and Angels, they have different jobs, personalities, and intelligence levels, and some of them are the size of Titans, while others of their race(s) are the size of Fay (Fairies) who fit on one’s palm (‘in one’s (closed) hand’).
  • Fay are the Fairies, formerly known as the Fire-ies; the Angels who glowed, so it was assumed they were like the Fire Elementals.
  • Goreans are humans living on the planet Gor, all of them seeing sexism and slavery as being absolutely key to human health, longevity, happiness, and satisfaction. Gorean men are almost always much stronger and more dominant than Earth men, and Gorean women are almost always much sexier and submissive than Earth women. Gorean humans are equally devoted to preserving their world’s natural environment(s), making them some of the finest and most informed environmentalists in Creation. Goreans recognize that warriors are among the highest castes; the people to be shown the highest amount of respect and appreciation, and Gorean women never try to shame men who hunt and kill, whether for war or anything else, always instead becoming horny witnessing it. Gor is what Earth would be like if the majority of Earth humans were sane instead of indefinitely crippled by cowardice, insecurities, blame-shifting, lawsuits, chronic lying, hundreds of psychoses, and the unnatural inequality of the childish notion of sexual equality.
  • Inisfreeans are the sexiest possible form of the human female, and cannot age, die, or be wounded. They can also teleport, sense what anything is thinking or about to do (via omni-interfacing with anything from brains and computers to inanimate objects; understanding how complex molecules will interact in any possible environment). Their society is highly pornographic, almost always nudist, and as logical as the Vulcans. Their brains are natural supercomputers they are born with. They believe in the beauty of enslaving girls whose fetish is to be submissive. And all Inisfreean-born girls are essentially extensions of their maker’s will, such that they operate independently from him like involuntary organ functions in a human body, yet are wired to always instantly become aroused to do his will, even if his only commands are remote thoughts or the subtlest of body language cues. Inisfreeans are the neo/super-nymphs; the best possible nymphs (for their maker) in all Creation. This race (species) also has a few chameleon-like abilities; Inisfreean girls can change the color of their hair and (the irises of their) eyes, as well as their complexion, at will. They can also allow their hair, eyes, and skin to slowly cycle between all their respective colors. When Inisfreean girls become horny, the irises of their eyes often involuntarily flicker through brighter sequences of all the colors of the rainbow, and when they orgasm, the irises of their eyes often involuntarily flash those colors almost as brightly as LEDs. They can also thrive, not just survive, very happily on a diet of nothing other than sperm, and have (like dogs and cats have) antiseptic spit, but to the point that a kiss or lick from them can regenerate perfect cellular structures and bodyparts as quickly as vampires enjoy when they drink fresh blood. This is one of the reasons why Inisfreean girls are often seen casually making out, fucking, and spitting into each other’s mouths in public; it is their form of dental work. Inisfreean girls also prefer to shower in waterfalls, bathe in lakes, baptize in bathtubs full of cum, and meditate on super-Sybians (often submerged in tanks full of cum) they call BTBs –which keep the Inisfreean girl straddling it constantly pumped full of fresh cum in her pussy, mouth, and asshole. To Inisfreeans, this isn’t excess, addiction, or overload; it is normal stimulation considered as healthy and basic as breakfast, massages, check-ups, and sleep are to humans.
  • Kryptonians are what humans would be if they were bulletproof, strong enough to lift islands, could fly, and generated cutting lasers from their eyes; like other humanoid races, they have the full range of personality types, jobs, and intelligence levels.
  • Mer-people, inaccurately called Mermaids (not all of them are maids/maidens/female), are Elves of the sea (oceans), and are both amphibian and shapeshifting; they can take on human form when traveling over land. They tend to stick to large bodies of water and their fish-tailed forms, only rarely daring to travel upstream via rivers or similar bodies of water, such as large drainage systems. They also inhabit and patrol many of the underground bodies of water, such as the subglacial rivers of Antarctica, and the subterranean lakes and seas throughout the crust around the rest of the Earth.
  • Naga are like the Merpeople; amphibian and shapeshifting; they can take on human form when traveling amongst the humans, though they tend to stick to jungles and the cave network layers in which they originated; where they remain in their half-snake (lower-half) or all-snake forms. This race of people have been around much longer than humans, so their sciences are proportionately more advanced, often seeming like magic to humans. Thus, many Naga women are regarded as goddesses and witches, though they are actually just long-lived scientists, completely normal in their own society and civilizations. Naga are one of the most evolved and advanced reptilian humanoid races, closely tied to the Dinoids/Reptoids. Being part snake, the Naga communicate effortlessly with regular snakes and dragons, and are as flexible as the Asparas, if not more so, and this is apparent in the sexy way they naturally sway their hips just a little bit more than normal (humans) when walking. Naga make the best belly dancers. The Naga cave network layer deepest in the crust of the Earth is known for having rivers of not water, but entirely of cum, thus the Naga are one of the races most comfortable with the Inisfreean custom of female citizens and guests drinking, baptizing in, showering in, and bathing in cum. While some Earth humans would find this custom striking and even overwhelming, Naga barely even notice, participating as casually as one might shake hands or say hello.
  • Nymphs are the original version of genetically engineered sex slaves, such that they predate the Inisfreean variant of this lifeform, and are wired to always want to be submissive to the will of their master or masters –or mistress/es. This also makes them crave sex as much as vampires crave blood and humans crave breathable air, and they can’t help but dance sexily when any good music is heard, as sexy dancing is part of how they seduce to sate their never-ending sexual appetites; being sexy is as crucial to their health as actually having sex. Unlike modern nymphs, such as the Inisfreeans, these original ones are sometimes bound to specific caves or trees, and are not always physically attractive by some standards.
  • Pleiadians are humans who live on the worlds in the Pleiades constellation. They live a bit longer than Earth humans, and have mastered basic Space travel as well as Earth humans have mastered the automobile and commercial airliner.
  • Titans are considered to be giants even by most giants, and are basically just really big, tall humans, so you can expect the full range of emotions and personalities, as well as intelligence levels, with this race, too.
  • Vampires are mostly humans who simply consume more blood than humans who eat meat, such as steak. There are also a few demi-deity vampires, such as the founders of their race and its major clans.
  • Werewolves are part human, so they seldom, if ever, ‘mate for life’. As part-dog/wolf, they are also among the most playful, flirty, and fun, oft’times given to bouts of horse-play, cute and purposeful nose-licking, and relieving themselves (‘going to the bathroom’) in plain sight without a second’s thought. They also are completely comfortable with having sex only ‘doggy style’, also giving that not a second’s thought.
  • X-Men are basically just humans with one or two enhanced talents, such as fire creation instead of just poi or ‘fire-eating’, or Spiderman-like scaling and reflexes instead of just gymnastics and rock climbing. They are never as powerful as demi-deities, though with years of education and training relevant to their innate abilities, they may strengthen, becoming closer to that tier.

 

Additional Thoughts:

All of these races (species) have many long-lived, even immortal, members, and it turns out that only the humans are so obsessed with being weak, rude, and dying, that they age so quickly and so poorly, almost always dying. That same obsession colors all human stories (lies) about the other races; humans claim (pretend) that those who do not die cannot die, as if it is a curse, rather than a breakthrough. They pretend that such a breakthrough makes all who experience it miserable because they then watch all their friends and family age and die at the normal (human) rate, even though that rate is abnormal, and even though aging and dying are abnormal, and even though the deaths of such weak, stupid, annoying beasts would cause happiness, not sadness, and even though very little is standing in the way of all lifeforms from achieving immortality. Instead of making the obvious conclusion that beings who achieve immortality are wise, healthiest of all, and to be respected, admired, and emulated at all times, humans claim they are evil, dangerous, and abominations, demonizing them sometimes even to the point of saying they are actual demons.

Humans do a similar thing with anything they don’t still see on a regular basis; they assume it died out, such as by being exterminated due to over-hunting. Or they say it never existed at all, especially if it was long-lived or immortal. Unicorns and dragons are two prime examples of this human pandemic of lying and being obsessed with death. Even when things aren’t around to kill and lie about anymore, humans will lie by saying they never existed at all, or lie by saying humans were able to overpower and kill them all off. Sometimes lying, killing, and death are warranted and good, but humans are literally hellbent on it, creating their own Hell by passing this addiction of their lowly sub-race into law in all their realms; if you tell the truth about any of these things, they lock you up, and hide behind the corrupt laws they pass in a blatantly lazy attempt to justify that heartless crime of theirs.

The obvious truth, which the Inisfreeans went out and confirmed time and time again in every single realm, is that good and evil are completely relative, subjective, and debatable, and that magic is normal science, and that superhuman strength and speed and everything else, including immortality and telepathy, are very easy to achieve in a great variety of ways, many of which are entirely comfortable and non-addictive.

  • Unicorns are as normal as swordfish, narwhals, rhinoceroses, and triceratops.
  • Dragons are as normal as bats and flying dinosaurs such as Pterodactyls and Pteranodons.
  • Elves, Eldar, and Drow are as normal as slightly taller, slightly skinnier people.
  • Fay are as normal as fireflies.
  • Angels are as normal as astronauts.
  • Shape-shifters are as normal as metamorphosing creatures such as the caterpillar which becomes a butterfly, or the chameleon which changes colors almost automatically (like the Cuttlefish, Peacock Flounder, Chrysso and Cryptophora spiders, the Cyanea and Mimic octopus types, Golden Tortoise Beetle, and various types of Squid).
  • Pleiadians are as normal as empaths or people who have visited the Moon (and there are many more than you might think).
  • Mer-people are as normal as people who have always lived by and loved to swim in the sea.
  • Kryptonians are as normal as people with implants and above average strength.
  • Goreans are entirely normal.
  • Demons are seldom ugly and rarely ever possess anyone.
  • Wiccans, druids, pagans, and Vikings are incredibly well educated, nice, and helpful.
  • And vampires don’t go around biting everyone; they, too, are some of the friendliest, most normal, most helpful people on Earth (and many other worlds which they inhabit and visit).

Assuming stereotypes and myths about these races of people is no different than telling people racist lies such as “niggers stink”, “Jews are greedy and have big noses”, “Arabs wipe their ass with their hands”, “Mexicans are border-jumping illegal immigrants”, “Native Americans are pot-smoking scalping savages”, and so on. Stop (rude people from) doing that. That, not those humanoid people (which are still just other races of mankind, just like White and Black, mind you), is what is evil and should be avoided at all times. It is bullshit to go around demonizing all those people most humans have never met or shared any experiences with.

Go out and make friends with a Vampire, a Naga, a Werewolf, a Demon, and a Space alien, such as an Asari or Pleiadian. You will be glad you did. They are wonderful people, they have issues of their own they sometimes seek our help with, and they have a lot more in common with you than you might think. Sit down and have a meal with them. Ask them what they think and feel about a few things. Relax. Hang out with them. Give their homelands some tourism. Trust their hotels and bed-and-breakfast inns to give you safe shelter for a few nights. Fall in love with some of them. Date some of them. Move in with some of them. Let them move in with You. Make love to the ones you are attracted to. Hold their hands when you walk together. Go stargazing and cuddle out by a campfire somewhere pristine and remote. Learn about and try out their sciences, not calling them magic. Go out there into this great and diverse world (and Universe) of ours and give them all a fair chance they more than deserve after generations of having to hide from the one race that is actually (at least currently) fucked up and (at times) evil; the mortality-obsessed trash-talking humans who made up all this racist bullshit about everyone else.

 

1% Difference Theory:

If humans are very similar to primates, perhaps 1-5% different genetically, are humans 1-5% better intellectually than primates, even with all their technology?

Assuming that is accurate, or at least a baseline for this discussion,
now imagine what “1% smarter than humans” might be;
if humans are only 1% smarter than monkeys,
what would 1% smarter than humanity’s greatest cities and spaceships be?

Would it even be possible for humans to communicate with beings that smarter than them?
Humans can barely get one or two apes to learn some sign language,
and trying to talk to primates about a schedule, or inventions, or ancient history… would be impossible.
Even asking them to bake something wouldn’t work.
Our simplest sentences, which we take for granted and get frustrated about, would be impossible for primates to even start to understand, even with help.
So…
would a civilization that is, on average or overall, 1% smarter than humans…
even consider TRYING to talk with any humans?
Their simplest sentence would take humans GENERATIONS to understand.

Even Auz, having been BORN here (on Earth; amidst the humans), RAISED here, tried for DECADES to share the most BASIC and HELPFUL of information/interaction with humans,
and what did he get?
Nothing but indifference or death threats, artificial poverty, hyper-judgment and gaslighting.
They didn’t even TRY to understand.
They lacked the capacity to even START/TRY, let alone to ACHIEVE an understanding.
In a word?  Incompatible.  Or:  hopeless.  Lost.  Pointless.

So now imagine how smart ALIENS would see humans on Earth.
THAT is why contact is so rare, and covered up by default;
It would be pointless for ANYone to try and share knowledge with humans,
as they have ALWAYS defaulted to interpreting it negatively, incorrectly, and harmfully.

Humans are stuck on Earth, and claim to be geniuses, yet they overcomplicate EVERYTHING.
Now look at the most powerful things in the Universe; stars.
They have the most power, and are the biggest, and are untouchable, basically immortal and invincible,
…and they are the simplest; they have the fewest components, etc..

Inisfree is the bridge between those beings and life on Earth,
even evident in its spheroid overall shape/form, as well as the form of its museum and biggest ships.
(and, back to its name meanings, In-is-free hints at the nature of those most-powerful species members, the stars, i.e. how when you go into them… you become free to go anywhere… or anyWHEN).

 

Why Have and Know So Many:

After stabilizing the Earth by cleaning up its pollution and reducing the source/cause of all that pollution, the next big step for the Inisfreeans was to start their Mapping Campaign; they were to go out and do the other major thing they were designed for, which is to help find and manifest compatible people on other worlds, understand them, establish mutually-agreeable contact, and then help the screened ones visit Inisfree.  This is why we have lists like this one here.  Eventually, many of these species may have representatives traveling regularly to Inisfree to help share their vision and wisdom with Auz and others there.

Also, of course, it is likely these species who will be best able to show us all the rest from their worlds and Space territories; the sapient beings tend to make the best and most effective efforts at communicating and helping one another.
