• Morlock as mentioned above, when you look at the race they are creepy and can be easily altered for a fantasy setting.
• Troglodytes are also a favorite of mine, underground lizard people.

• Rat-Men - My favorite of this race is the Skaven but that is WFRP

Gnomes of Bism (Narnia)
Mahars of Pellucidar (agree, they are a nifty race, and fought Tarzan too)
Silurians (Dr Who - I prefer them less human looking than Vastra though)
Moloids (Marvel goblins, descended from humans trapped underground with some Deviants)
