I was thinking of doing some kind of Sasquatch, but I ended up taking a friend's advice and using Orc for Wendigo. Only need one of those in any given campaign. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Heh. Then we're dealing with exactly the sort of thing I need. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Sounds like I can use Kobolds, then. If I stick to the whole draconic roots thing, I can use Chromatic and Metallic Kobolds and sprinkle them all over the system. I might even replace the peace-loving Gnomes with Ohdowa Kobolds-- though I like the idea of even good-aligned Kobolds and Gnomes having a rivalry.Maybe I can cut Lizardfolk or turn them down to Minor Race status. I kinda like the idea of Paladin Lizardfolk as Couatl servitors, though... but Kobolds as 0 LA make a better main race.Yeah, this is also pretty close to Wendigo-- was gonna use Orcs for this role. They're hairy, bestial, mean-- and Cold Resistance is a neat quality for a regional feat to bestow.I was thinking of breaking out the Aaracokra. Figure, brightly colored Aarakocra and Lizardfolk would both be awesome in the jungles of South America. (Also lets me use Spelljammer ideas like the closer a Lizardfolk is to the Sun while being incubated, the smarter and more competent they'll be upon hatching.) I could probably also use Aarakocra in the Oriental Adventures system as a representation of Kenku.Of course, I could use Raptoran for either-- and it would probably work better that way. I was half-tempted to bust out Sesheyans, but that'd be awfully weird for a D&D game. (Though... an "upgraded" Sesheyan might be cool for a darkworld version of Raptoran...)Thanks!edit: Thri-Kreen keep getting shoved into minor status on the Core worlds. I think I'm going to make them more prevalent in Frontier Space, along with other bugfolk like Dromites and Rastipedes. Since Xixchil are Aberrations, I might use them as a kind of BBNG-- scary, intelligent aliens who aren't necessarily a threat to us. The Thri-Kreen and Dromites are terrified of them-- possibly because the Xixchil evolved from Thri-Kreen and were responsible for creating the Dromites.I'm also going to make Yuan-Ti more common in Frontier Space, just to prove that not all of the dangers in the Universe are pseudonatural.</blockquote>
