Automated updating of API pages at this location, to reflect patch changes, has ceased from 10.1.7 onwards. |
Returns the creature type of the specified unit.
creatureType = UnitCreatureType(unit)
Arguments

Returns
- creatureType
- string - the localized creature type of the unit
Examples
print(UnitCreatureType("target"))
Result
- Prints the target's creature type to the chat frame.
Notes
- Returns nil if the unit does not exist, or if the unit's creature type isn't available.
- As of patch 3.0.9, the possible (English) return values are:
- Beast
- Critter
- Demon
- Dragonkin
- Elemental
- Giant
- Humanoid
- Mechanical

- The default Blizzard UI displays an empty string instead of "Not specified" for units with that creature type.
