Have you ever run a character who ate humans or demihumans?

I never have, but in one of my campaigns, my wife played a druid who was a cannibal. (This was before the Scarred Lands came out, and had nothing to do with the druids of Khet, for those who care.)
It wasn't a food issue. They didn't eat people for sustenance. They only consumed their fallen enemies. They believed that when the druids used magic, they bargained for power from the spirits of nature. In exchange for granting the power for the spells, the spirits demanded the druids give them power in return. The strength of the fallen was absorbed by the druids who consumed them, from where, they believed, the spirits could then take it.
Of course, the other players didn't know about this until the party's first fight in that campaign was over, and my wife's druid whipped out the fileting knives...

I once had a halfling PC(Well, not quite a halfling, his father was a kender who traveled the planes, and he was raised by a different race that was catlike entirely) who had no problems with eating the fresh bodies of his fallen foes, as he was an omnivore, an oppurtunist in the area of food, and saw it better to eat that which he killed then just leaving it to rot.

I played a very fun half-ogre way back in 1e AD&D called "Gronk".
Gronk was essentially a lacky of the party leader - a charismatic fighter/mage (lawful evil). What a fun character.
His name was actually derived from the sound the old floppy drive on a friend of mine's PC made. Gronk......gronk......gronk-gronk.,,,,click....click....click...

Let's see...
I got 'inspired' after reading DUNE for the first time many, many moons ago.
I poulated the Sea of Dust with a race whose fighters were actually Monks.
Sand colored purple worms infested the region.
The warriors used hand-crossbows firing darts with paralytic poison, and carried knives made from the teeth of the aforementioned giant worms.
They also carried one other item beneath their robes that makes all of this relevant for this thread...
A waterskin that had the ability to convert any liquid placed in it to pure water--and, of course, the only liquid to be found while traversing the sea was the blood of their fallen foes!
(Hey, I was young...)
