| For the purposes of keeping this information digestible, only named characters, with sufficient dialogue or story significance will be listed here.
| | '''Non-player characters''' (also known as '''NPCs''') are characters not controlled by the player. They have pre-determined behaviours and defined [[ability score]]s, [[class action]]s, and inventories. NPCs commonly have dialogue and voice lines, and many NPCs in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] are involved in [[quests]]. |

|
| * [[Us]]
| | Some NPCs, particularly humanoid ones, have sets of abilities that mimic [[Avatar|player character]] progression. A [[ranger]] archetype NPC might have ranger-like abilities such as {{SAI|Hunter's Mark}} or {{SAI|Ensnaring Strike}}. Other NPCs can have class actions that are unique to them and cannot be learned by player characters. |

| | === Bosses === |
| *[[Gale]] (Companion, Origin Character)
| | : An informal term used by the [[Baldur's Gate 3]] playerbase to describe unique, particularly strong enemies. Bosses usually have special and powerful abilities, and are often in set-piece areas that play to their strengths. Bosses also often drop plentiful loot, and might have a few unique magic items as well. However, whether an NPC is a boss is ultimately subjective. |
