What's your favorite fantasy monster race? (lemmy.world)

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.

First gen Pokemon? Or is that cheating?

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not really a race or a fantasy setting. Think more in lines of trope that could be applied across multiple settings (kobolds, orcs, tengu, etc).

Okay, you consider it a cheat answer, that's fair. But, just for the record, pokemon is a fantasy series. And the pokemon are a race of monsters.

But for a more typical answer, I'd go with either dragons cause they're usually powerful and intelligent and can fly or warcraft's taurens cause they're like a hippie version of a minotaur. Strong and intelligent but with an affinity for nature. A tauren druid being a very fun combo with tons of versatility.
