Baldur's Gate 3 Githyanki race overview

Who are the Baldur's Gate 3 Githyanki? Githyanki are specific to Dungeons and Dragons. Enslaved by the Mind Flayers - Baldur's Gate 3's big bads - for millennia. Githyanki hail from the Astral Zone, and are unparalleled warriors known for their silver blades and the red dragons they ride into battle. Their goal now is the complete destruction of the Mind Flayers. While they are humanoids, Githyanki stand out due to their mottled yellow and green skin, long, pointed ears, and small noses.


The Githyanki are introduced early in the Baldur's Gate 3 story, entering the fray in a way we all hope to one day; atop a dragon, tearing their enemies limb from limb. With the Baldur's Gate 3 release date right around the corner, you're going to want to know everything this race before you build your character. There are subtleties to this race, however, and can turn their hand to many of the Baldur's Gate 3 classes if you so choose.
