What are the Wotc "transformed" races?

[Particle_Man]

I think there is one that "becomes" a vessel of bahamaut, whatever they start as.

I think the psionic race Elan start as something else and transform.

There is the Hellspawn or something, sort of a redeemed bad guy hit the reset button race.

None of the above keep any of the stats of their "pre-transformed" race, IIRC.

Technically I guess there are some undead and lycanthropes, but they keep enough of the stats of the original race that I am not going to count them here. I'm biased like that.

So are there other PC races that started as something else? I was thinking of a campaign where the races were either humans or "transformed" (from humans) and want to see what I would end up with.

Races of the Dragon has the Dragonborn race. They start as any race then choose to serve Bahamaut and under go a rite that transforms them as they rehach as a Dragonborn. The book has the rules of how you gain this, how it alters you and how you can loose it.
