An adjective and substantive referring to humanoid creatures, humanlike includes elves, dwarves, halflings, titans, geddamin, giants, orcs, goblins, ogres, centaurs, satyrs, and many other races. The term is a euphemism for 'non-human.' Although some humanlikes object to humans as the touchstone for sentience, the local term for humanlike has become semantically diluted to the point that it has lost the primary sense of its humanocentricity with the general human form providing the core sense of its meaning.
