Algebralians[1] (a demonym derived from the word "algebra") are a fictional genus of colorful, sentient beings based upon mathematical symbols that are from the Equation Playground. They are notable for their appearances in "X Finds Out His Value" (XFOHV), "The Number Playground Chronicle!", and Battle for BFB.
Note that the only canonical appearances of Algebralians are from Battle for Dream Island. Their appearances in the pre-BFDI comics and XFOHV are considered not canon, meaning they are not part of the central universe and timeline of events.
Species

Four, the most notable Integer.
- Main article: Integers
Integers are based upon numeric digits. Numbers made their debut in "X Finds Out His Value", with One, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, and Eight making their first appearances. In its spiritual successor, "The Number Playground Chronicle!", Two, Zero, and Nine are introduced. In "Thanks for 1,000,000 subscribers!", Ten is introduced.
Variables

X, the most notable Variable.
- Main article: Variables
Variables are based upon mathematical variables. Most use or are represented by letters in the Latin alphabet. X was introduced in "X Finds Out His Value" as the very first variable, with N Variable, Y Variable, and Z Variable being introduced in "The Number Playground Chronicle!".
Non-canon species
Polygons

Rectangle Polygon, the most notable Polygon.
- Main article: Polygons
Polygons were introduced in "The Number Playground Chronicle!". They are based upon the first 10 polygons by sides minus heptagon (7 sides). They did not make any more appearances after their debut.
Irrationals
- Main article: Irrationals
Irrationals were introduced in "The Number Playground Chronicle!". One member, Pi Irrational, served as a journalist and writer for the titular newspaper, writing on articles such as Five and Three not catching balls. They are yet to make a reappearance.
Operators
- Main article: Operators
Operators were introduced in "The Number Playground Chronicle!". They are based upon mathematical operators. Currently not much info is known about them. They have not made another appearance since.
Fractions
- Main article: Fractions
Fractions were introduced in "The Number Playground Chronicle!". Not much is known about them so far, but they appear exclusively in the aforementioned comic.
Polyhedrons
- Main article: Polyhedrons
Polyhedrons were introduced in "The Number Playground Chronicle!". Currently not much info is known about them, as they do not appear anywhere else.
Unknown species
Trivia
- The term "Algebralian" (also spelled "Algebralien", a portmanteau of "algebra" and "alien") was invented by fans of Battle for BFB, and was later adopted for use by Cary Huang, solidifying the nickname as an official name.
- Algebralians might have very fragile skin. In BFB 17, Two says that glue can damage an Algebralian's pelt, even though they never say how.
