In the Kuroshitsuji universe, there exists various races or species. Below is a brief explanation of them.

Character TypesEdit

• Human: The humans of Kuroshitsuji are generally residents of England during the Victorian era. They are incapable of possessing supernatural abilities at birth. However, they can form Faustian Contracts with demons, wherein the latter fulfill their wishes, and in return, the human sacrifice their souls for consumption.

• Demon: Demons are supernatural beings who occasionally form Faustian Contracts with humans, offering a range of services in return for the future consumption of the individual's soul. Devoid of love and compassionate emotions, they strictly follow their two aesthetics: one, their masters' orders are absolute, and two, obey those orders while keeping their contracts.

• Grim Reaper: Grim Reapers are supernatural beings who review lists of humans about to die. They are to remain neutral between affairs that have no relation to them. It is up to their discretion whether or not an individual is allowed to continue living, which is based on the content of his or her Cinematic Record. If the Grim Reaper does not permit for the individual's advance in life, his or her soul is consequently collected. Each Grim Reaper wields a Death Scythe, that serve a dual-purpose of being a weapon in combat and reviewing and collecting souls.

• Bizarre Doll: Bizarre Dolls are soulless, carnivorous beings who prey after humans. It was initially believed that they are erroneous experiments of the Aurora Society's medicine. In truth, their rightful creator is Undertaker, and he has added fake records to their Cinematic Records in order to mobilize them.

• Ghost: This race appears solely in the anime. Ghosts are the result of humans who have died, but for some reason, cannot move on from this world. They remain attached to the human world due to their variety of human emotions. The existence of this race is contradictory, since the Grim Reapers collect all humans' souls at the time of their deaths, and a ghost remaining in the human world should therefore be impossible.

• Doll: This race appears solely in the anime. Dolls are created from humans and other materials, including wax, silver, gold, steel, iron and stone, and are stuffed with materials like sawdust, sand and straw. They are animated and can be manipulated like puppets. While they appear nearly identical to their original human form, a distinguishing difference is that their movements are robotic and unnatural.

• Demon hound: This race appears solely in the anime. Demon hounds are a special type of dog with supernatural abilities. Furthermore, they have the ability to transform from a dog to a human and vice versa, but retain their dog-like disposition at all times.
