There are many races in CoffeeMUD, including 19 starting player races and many other stock races. The list of races is ever-growing with the addition of new builder-created races to meet the needs of builders, as well as auto-generated races from the crossbreeding of mobs or through the planar travel system.

The entries for races include the following categories:

• Description: A general overview of the race and physical description.
• Stat Adjustments: Racial stat adjustments apply after character creation. Note that a stat adjustment does not automatically confer a bonus to the maximum stat value, although most races adjust stat and max stat values equally. This category also provides resistances, with a positive number equivalent to that percentage likelihood to avoid that type of affect.
• Racial Abilities: These are skills automatically granted to the race at a set proficiency (percentage skill). Racial abilities may be assigned to specific level before gaining them, but they never improve in proficiency.
• Cultural Abilities: These are skills automatically granted to any mob starting as that race. Polymorphing into a race will not grant the cultural abilities of the race.
• Racial Effects: These are affects that persist as long as the mob remains that race, such as a fear aura on a lich, or a stench on a zombie.
• Bonus Languages: These are bonus starting languages that the race receives.
• Bonus Abilities: Other non-skill affects that the race receives, such as infravision, are listed in this category.
• Immunities: Racial immunities provide complete protection against the listed affects. These are often diseases, but other affects could be granted immunity.
• Experience Modification: If the race has a positive experience adjustment, then they gain experience faster. Likewise, a negative adjustment indicates the race levels more slowly.
• Life Expectancy: This is the anticipated lifespan in mudyears of a mob. If a mob's age exceeds this value, they will suffer aging penalties and be more prone to a variety of diseases associated with age.
• Starting Equipment: This is the equipment that the race starts with, and can be reequipped with the OUTFIT command.
• Wear Locations: These are the locations the race is permitted to wear items on. NOTE: It is possible for a race to have a limb location, with no associated wear location.
• Qualifying Classes: These are the permitted classes a race may train into.

Crossbreeding

CoffeeMUD has a dynamic crossbreeding system, so new races are generated when parents of different races magically mate. Some crossbreeds produce known results, some produce new races entirely.
