Very distinct indeed though they make me think of animated suits of armor like something out of fullmetal alchemist.

Some people who dislike them seem to wish people had to buy separate material to get them because they are selfish traditionalists who want a layer between them and anything they do not like (usually it is new). So even if the content is very popular it must be hidden away for them personally...

Not surprising at all. I would be mildly surprised Tieflings beat them out... but I am not. Have seen some really fun portrayals of them.

Ducks ... you could play humanoid ducks.

The idea of "monsters" who are heroes is not actually a new thing though amongst the Roundtable Knights there were at least one mayb 2 werewolves who retained their noble mind even in beast form. Not exactly a fantasy species but related I think. The Dragonborn presented in 4th edition...
