[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8993593, member: 63508"] They could do that AND create new types of races. But that's not what they did. They first made generic celestial planetouched with Animal heads with no real story. Then they made Shifters who don't shift who again had a generic story. It's not just WOTC. Many fantasy companies have defaulted to "LOTR races + Animal People" This is why I am glad Dragonborn and Tiefling got too popular to be pushed aside and Goliaths are being added to the PHB. But the reason why Aardlings didn't make it in is because WOTC were not into them enough to find a creative niche for them. So they felt like either they were taking the Aasimar's place or were reject Animal-folk among a lake of other Animal folk. They were just like Guardinals they were based on. Or 3e Archons. Aasimar but different. But there's no point to that because Aasimar exist. They did that with 4e Devas but that didn't cross over. If Aardlings are Celestial humaniod with a animal aspect, WOTC should do that and write a story for them like I did. If Aardling are Animal olk with an celestial excuse for existence, WOTC should do that. But like many aspect of 5e, it felt like WOTC D&D designers were creating things they didn't care for but made because it was popular with da yutes [ATTACH type="full"]282105[/ATTACH] Excuse me... it was popular with the youths and it came out underpowerd or with bland lore.
