...a miniature bald purple caribou.

LOL! That beats our rogue who got polymorphed into a llama.

In a Spelljammer campaign I played a lizardman acrobat. Was a lot of fun actually.

In my last DnD game I used a homebrew world where along with the core races Hobgoblins were a significant force and had a nation of their own. One player chose a hobgob as a PC. It all worked out surprisingly well.

My friend played a Tiefling. I played a Blue (a psionic sub-race of goblin) in a different campaign. The DM let the Blue be LA=0, thank goodness.

I am currently playing a pixie rogue in one game.

In another game, I play the lone human character in a party with a tiefling, a ghaele, an astral deva, and a non-evil rakshasha variant. We started them all at first level (via Savage Species).

One epic game I was in had a half-celestial/half-rakshasa, an axiomatic gnoll, a half-celestial/half-dragon, and I forget what else. My bronze dragon seemed almost normal by comparison.

My current party has a pixie fighter, a half feind rogue, a drow assassin, a toy bullette* wizard, and an incubbus.

*DM creation and character which is basically a medium sized intelligent bullette

I played a lizardman once and that was cool. He would drink the blood from the heart of those he killed. halfway through the campaign the tough ranger died and three of the party members joined in to drink her blood to keep her strength with us.

My wife has played a drow cleric of Illistrae? the dancing goddess. She tried her best but we were not in the area that was really open-minded about drow.

In my campaign my wife played a lycanthrope, but that was a surprise for her. Nice involved storyline.

My daughter has played a talking cat, an owl sorcerer, a sabre-tooth tiger, a silver dragon. Some died, some retired, she is slowly trying to play something else - one is a tiefling...
