I'm blanking -- I need a single word with refer to all the NPCs and monsters in a game. I'm using "Extras" for random unnamed guards, farmers, etc., but I need a term to use in the text to refer to all the notable allies, villains, monsters, aliens, etc. It's important it doesn't say "monster" or "villain" as many are neither of those things. It needs to say "allies AND enemies".
In Star Wars terms --
Extra -- stormtroopers, moisture farmers, Cantina musicians
Hero - the players; Luke, Han, Leia
??? - the rest: Yoda, Vader, the Rancor Monster, Tarkin, Mace Windu
