Anthropomorphic Animal PCs!

[Scribble]

So does anyone else have a fondness for PC races that are Anthropomorphic animals?

Like Badger Rangers, or Monkey Ninjas?

I don't know why, but intelligent animals as a PC race has always appealed to me.

No interest in furries...

No real like or dislike for me. Well besides for Gnolls I love me some Gnoll.

Shapeshifters I always found neat though, of any variety like your werewolf and fox demons (Raavasta) for example.

 

[Rechan]

I do.

I think my fondness started long ago when there was a cover of Dragon that had a badger on it that I think was a ranger. I thought... Hey cool... a Badger ranger.

Wonder if his favored enemy was Big ol Snaaaaaakes?

I think it's a fantastic idea. I played in a Savage Species game with some friends, and one of them created a feral mineral warrior anthropomorphic baleen whale. I couldn't help but chuckle every time we played, I kept thinking of the villain Blowhole from the Tick cartoon.

I've had thoughts in the back of my head for a while about an anthropomorphic animal campaign setting, with equine, canine, feline and bovine empires, and all sorts of other animal-types available. Savage Species has basic stats that would make such a thing possible. Something that would remind one of The Stone God Awakens...or maybe the Island of Dr. Moreau...

But heck ya!

No interest in furries...

Agreed.

No interest in furries...

You can be an anthropomorphic animal character and not be a furry.

OP, have you ever tried Mouse Guard?

I know we'll likely get Hengeyokai back eventually.. (whenever they finaly do some oriental stuff..) Hengeyokai were a PC race in 1E, 2E, and 3E, after all.

I would also like to see the return of Rakastas, Lupins, Tortles, Hutaakans, Phanatons, Actaeons, and Kercpa!

And... A rabbit race, like the Hoops from Gama World.

I think that Lizardfolk have been a rather popular little race. And there has always been Tri-Keen.

One Bad Egg put out a race of awakened Apes.

Badger Ranger

Would his animal companion be a gnome?
