The roster at a glance
At launch, How Many Dudes? ships 42 Unique Dudes across 6 Dude Families, with more than 850,000 possible team compositions. You do not pick one "main" — you mix and match Dudes to build ridiculous, game-breaking synergies.
The six Dude Families
| Family | Vibe |
|---|---|
| Undead Dudes | Zombie Dudes that explode when struck; spooky synergies |
| Employed Dudes | Business, Medic, and worker-type roles (economy & support) |
| Warrior Dudes | Knight, Samurai, Cowboy, Ninja — frontline and burst |
| Fantasy Dudes | Wizard, Vampire, Druid, Lich — magic and sustain |
| Sci-Fi Dudes | Alien, Electrician, Hacker, Time, Warlock — tech and exploits |
| Action Dudes | Ranger, Pirate, Explorer, Trooper, Mutant, Regular — varied kits |
Named Dudes confirmed in official material
From the official game page and new player guide, these Dudes are named: Zombie, Ninja, Cowboy, Wizard, Samurai, Alien, Lich, Medic, General, Trooper, Hacker, Mutant, Pirate, Knight, Electrician, Ranger, Vampire, Explorer, Druid, Warlock, Time, Business, and Regular Dudes. That is a sample — not the full 42, and the studio can add more after launch.
The Dudex
The game has a built-in glossary called The Dudex that explains pretty much every Dude, Relic, Trinket, and status. If you are unsure what a Dude does, click it in-game before looking it up elsewhere.
Team-building takeaway
Because each Dude Type has 7 exclusive Relics and each Family has 8 Family Relics, your composition choice literally reshapes which Relics enter your run. Start with one Family you like, learn its synergies, then branch out into weird cross-family teams.
