I love goblins and lizardmen. Goblins because deranged little dudes running around is always a blast. Lizardmen because alligator people with melee weapons are the way I wish dinosaurs evolved instead of being birds.

Probably dwarves - they're not that exotic but I really vibe with them... for something more out there I'm a big fan of Yuan-Ti, they have spectacular lore and it's always tickled me that their most human-like form is basically considered low-born while the pure bloods are full on snakes.

Dwarves definitely take the cake for me though, big beards, stout, egalitarian, sometimes greedy - but always devout craftsfolk. As a big gender non-conforming man with a bigger beard and an intense love of my craftwork, I really vibe with them.

I love the classic elves and dwarves as fantasy races. They don't give a shit about our human centric concepts of gender roles. Dwarf women have large beautiful beards and elf men wear long flowy clothing with their long scented hair.
