[[This is just a list of creatures that are found in Narnia. They are not specific to Narnia however, they can be found in other worlds as well. Except Talking Beasts, they are only found in Narnia.]]
Black & Red Dwarf
"The Sons of Earth" exist in Narnia in two separate varieties: Black Dwarfs and Red Dwarfs. Black Dwarfs are so called for their dark beards that are "as thick and hard as horsehair", while Red Dwarfs have hair "rather like a Fox's". In Narnia, dwarfs are around 3 feet (0.91 m) tall. The Black Dwarfs tend to side with the White Witch while the Red Dwarfs usually side with Aslan. Dwarfs live in small, tight knit communities.
Centaur
The centaurs of Narnia are noble beings and are one of the most loyal creatures to Aslan and to Narnia. They have the head, torso, and arms of a human but have the lower body of a horse joining at the human's waist. Their horse bodies are generally chestnut colored with human hair and beards of various colours. They are highly skilled in astronomy and divination, being able to read the stars and tell of future events. They are also proficient warriors and healers. It is said in Narnia that no one ever laughed at a centaur and that no one who valued his life would ever saddle a one (if offered the opportunity). They also have two stomachs—a human stomach and a horse stomach—which means they eat large quantities of both human and equine food. Their leader is General Oreius, who has black fleece and hair. They use a variety of swords and lances in battle.
Dryad
tree nymphs that are capable of leaving their trees and assuming a physical body similar to human form. Each individual dryad is bound to a specific tree and if that tree dies, its dryad will die as well. Dryads are fond of dancing and often dance with fauns. They are described as having heads crowned with leaves, wearing garments matching the colors of their specific trees and as having their trees' physical characteristics (i.e. pale, slender birch girls; queenly, graceful beeches; melancholy elms). In addition to dryads, hamadryads, silvans and tree people are also mentioned, but it is unknown if they are a separate species of nymph or if they are just synonymous titles for dryads.
Faun
The son of woods, are woodland creatures with the legs of a goat and the upper body of a human. They characteristically have curly hair, glossy black hair and fur, small horns resembling those of a goat. Sometimes their fur and hair is brown or blondeish instead of black, have slender goat legs, and have regular goat tails. They enjoy dancing and playing music, and their faces are simultaneously "mournful and merry".
Giant
Giants are tall, ugly, and often dim-witted creatures. Many Giants live in the lands that lie North of Narnia, including the Giants of Ettinsmoor, who fight each other with stone hammers, and the wicked Giants of Harfang. Humans are often a source of amusement, entertainment, or occasionally food for these wicked giants. However, there are also good-natured giants such as the Buffins, who are "one of the most respected of all the giant families in Narnia."
Griffin
They magnificent flying creatures, part eagle and part lion, with equine ears. They fought for Aslan's Army during the Battle of Beruna.
Hag
Hags are followers of The White Witch who help bind Aslan to the Stone Table. They appear extremely loyal to the Witch as one Hag later attempts to bring back the ghost of the Witch through sorcery. She is described as having a "shrill, whining voice", and calls herself a "poor old woman" they are bird-like with beaks, and talons.
Human
The one sentient inhabitant of the World of Earth with most notably two hands, two legs (standing erect), a chest, and a head. Humans made their way into the World of Narnia even as early as its very creation, however they are not native to Narnia. A male human was called a Son of Adam and a female human was called a Daughter of Eve. Humans were always the leaders of the Kingdom of Narnia and Archenland, and the only non-human leader of Narnia was Jadis, who was half-jinn, half-giant, despite her humanoid appearance.
Merpeople
The Merpeople resemble that of a flying fish, with the upper part of the mermaid as a beautiful woman, and from the waist down is the tail of a flying fish. The merpeople sang at the Coronation of Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy when they were crowned Kings and Queens of Narnia. The Merpeople are the fastest swimmers in the Sea of Narnia, at the end of the First Battle of Beruna the merpeople sang, rejoiced and leaped for joy out of the water.
Minotaur
An aggresive race of intelligent Narnian creatures, with the head,tail,and rear hooves of a bull, but stand erect like a human. The Minotaurs live their days making new swords and axes, sharpening old ones, repairing and crafting armor and playing war games. Minotaurs are known for wearing armor in the front though not behind, as it was not common for Minotaurs to retreat, as they are known for fighting to the death. Their fur ranges in color from white, to light brown, and even to black. It is said in Narnia that "To face a Minotaur is to face your doom."
