How does that contrast the orc? Unless we're going with the "orcs are pretty much humans now" current model.

Orcs are still beefy and brawly, and they wanted a second one like that.

We absolutely are.

Do we really need to revive that dead horse to beat it here?

I think a DnD twist on a generic animal folk player option is a good idea. I'm not 100% sold on the Ardling as that option, but I am conceptually interested.

I think a generic animal folk race is a solid idea. Having them all fly and be a celestial is a hat on a hat on a hat.

No, its dead. I'm affirming its death.

Hoping aasimar makes it into the PHB. Or at least the DMG.

Still not a contrast, even assuming increasing carrying capacity was enough to make someone "beefy and brawny".

Sad but true.

Ignoring the adrenaline rush, and relentless abilities.

Again I ask, where's the contrast: why do they want goliaths and orcs in the PHB? I contend it has far more to do with CR than anything else.

As mentioned above, what about kobolds and goblins? Very popular choices eternally relegated to supplements.

Goblins and Kobolds are not big.
