This is a list of Bangalla tribes. The list is chronological based on first story appearance, and sorted by origin (story producer). Note that no original tribes have appeared in the Frew stories, Moonstone stories or DC stories.

The majority of the tribes have only appeared once. Recurring tribes (the ones who have made at least two apperances) are noted with bold letters.
