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.

I've always loved dragons in fantasy genres, specially intelligent talking ones that are on the mcs side.

Also like slimes and love when fantasy worlds play around with different types of them

I am very grateful to my DM for allowing me to play as a gelatinous cube that had absorbed a headband of intellect. Such a fun character to play!

I have a tiny little idea bumping around my head for a setting where dragons are not only intelligent but are the apex species. I think it'd be cool to base them off solitary predators like bears, jaguars, etc, as it means they would hate cooperating but would grudgingly do so if necesaary.
