The Veil Races
Race changes your stats until you reroll at the Stylist. Here is the current roster — the original ten, the Halloween arrivals, and every effect number that can be verified.
There are 11 rollable races on the current roster plus the dev-gifted secret Purgatorian — the October 10 Halloween update added a permanent race (Vampire) and an event one (Dullahan). Exact in-game spellings for a few race names still differ between launch-week wikis; this page labels conflicts instead of picking a side. Every effect below was gameplay-verified at launch and re-checked against the October balance changelog where a number changed.

Halloween update race changes
- Wraith: dodge proc raised from 5% to 10% — one of the update's cleanest buffs.
- Skeleton: resistance penalty cut from −10% to −5%.
- Veilborne: the Nightfall night skill buffed by +15%.
- New race — Vampire: permanent addition; its effects were not published with the update. What we know so far.
- Event race — Dullahan: earned through the Halloween event rather than the Stylist reroll pool (community-reported event grind).
Races you cannot simply reroll into
- Purgatorian — secret and developer-gifted; the official Q&A says there is no way to obtain it without developer intervention.
- Shrouded — a quest-locked race from the Pit Tamer quest line: accepting it replaces your current race. Community-documented; not a Stylist roll.
- Dullahan — the Halloween event race. Event races are earned through event currency, not rerolls.
Naming conflicts across sources
Two launch-week wikis disagree on names and we show both instead of picking one: the legendary race appears as Veilborne in gameplay footage and the changelog and as Whaleborn on one specialist wiki; the stone-heavy tank race appears as both Obelite and Obolite; and the dodge race circulates as Rat in some launch-week write-ups while the current changelog uses Wraith. No official race sheet exists — effects above are the verified numbers, names are labeled where sources split.
How to reroll your race
- Visit the Stylist NPC in spawn town (upper path by the ladders) — race is never permanent, confirmed by the developers.
- Free rerolls come from daily rewards and codes: as of the Oct 21, 2026 snapshot the working code is VEILOWEEN (5 rerolls). Codes.
- Robux rerolls are the paid route — exhaust free sources first. No roll odds or pity rules are published; do not trust “guaranteed legendary” claims.
- New players: since September 12 your Roblox account must be at least 7 days old to play at all (official patch note).
- The full transaction flow lives on How to Reroll; ranked picks on the race tier list.
