Humans most often encounter them at or near Snapping Turtle Bay. They are not automatically hostile, and will happily trade services or items for metal items they can use – a shortsword makes a handy dagger, for example. These one eyed giants live on the western side of the continent of Ixalan. Their biggest threat is pterafolk, who make great efforts to kill any aarakocra they find. They always band together when traveling as a lone aarakocra is vulnerable to sunwings, aerosaurs, and other aerial predators. These birdmen live in high places, out of reach of ground threats. The Thinguth people are very much a minority in the Sun Empire. The Thinguth are noticeably different, being thinner, taller, and darker than both Tabaxi and Eschowe. While genetically similar they are culturally different. The next most populous human ethnic groups are the Tabaxi and Eschowe, both from the continent of Katashaka (south east of Ixalan).

Likewise the humans of The Brazen Coalition are refugees from all over Torrezon, and so all types are represented. Humans of The Dusk Legion can be any size or shape, any skin, hair or eye colour. They are made up of various ethnic groups from the dozens of conquered nations of Torrezon. The Dusk Legion is ruled by vampires who were once human and the peasant and servant population still are. Naxalans are tall, lean, with angular features. While most Naxalans live in imperial cities, there are some living as hunter-gatherers in the jungles near the ruins of their cities, and some of these are known cannibals. Naxalans are the most populous ethnicity in Maztica and it is this group that settled on Ixalan and became The Sun Empire. More humans of various ethnicities have been arriving on Ixalan from other lands, and almost always start at Pachatupa or Otepec – and often stay there. Torrezon humans came with their vampiric rulers and are part of The Dusk Legion. The dominant ethnic group are Naxalans from Maztica, but there are also other ethnic groups from Katashaka. Most of the humans in Ixalan are part of The Sun Empire.
