Andalites, Yeerks, and Hork-Bajir, of course!
Andalites come with built-in shape-change!

Animorph races I should add to my homebrew world?

I don't think it would work for D&D, specifically, but Animorphs would be a great concept for an RPG campaign.

Everyone has Wild Shape as long as you've touched the animal and don't stay in it for more than 2 hours (It's been easily a decade since I've read anything Animorphs, I can't believe I remember this) and it takes 2 minutes(2 rounds?) to change. You also gain telepathy (doesn't say how far) while morphed. I just went and read through the wiki on it, and I'm fairly certain you could duplicate it in D&D, you'd just need to balance out "Bob got lucky and touched a dragon." somehow, probably the size limits on Wild Shape would work.

Yea, let me rephrase...I wouldn't try to use the 5e system to run a campaign that was modern day teenagers like the books. You could certainly duplicate the effects easily enough using D&D.
If you did want a fantasy version, it would probably need to be at a lower power level than normal D&D. Less high CR monsters, no druids, no real shapechanging magic normally. Yeerks would be like the mind flayer replacement, enslaving villages to gain hosts and spread more pools. Orcs or goblins could be the race already conquered to be the Yeerk hosts, like the Hork-Bajir. Finding a magical creature to be a host would be for high station Yeerks.

Oh yeah, to that I really wouldn't argue, I don't think d20 does modern very well.

I don't believe that having distinctly animal anthropomorphic races (such as cat people with actual cat heads, and not just nekomimi and a tail) will be a dissuasion to furries.
