D&D General What Races/Species do you think are missing from Dungeons and Dragons?

[Jaiken]

For me it would be races based on dogs. Large dogs could be trackers and attack dogs while small dogs could have resistance to being frightened.

What races do you think are missing from Dungeons and Dragons that should have already made it in?

Genasi are the only popular species missing from the 2024 Players Handbook.

I am still waiting to see a truly Large player species.

For large player races/species would Ogres do the job?

Yep. Ogres work.

I don't know if they've ever been in an official book as a player option, but I think pixies and sprites are missing from the editions with which I'm familiar.

Do you want the pixies and sprites to be tiny races/species?

I would love for Hengeyoukai to make an official return.

Where anything "knee high" or smaller is Tiny, they would probably need to be Tiny.

But. If the 5e Fairy species could change its Size at-will between Medium, Small, and Tiny, it would make sense and be awesome.

That would be nice to have for players that want to play Tiny races.

It's not at will, but that's how the Small Fairy works in 5e.
