[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 2072760, member: 7451"] Why has everyone forgotten about the yak folk? Frankly, they're the best of the random anthro-races in my book. Why? Because they've got an interesting story behind them, with an interesting culture, connections to the rest of the world (their racial pact with the genies) and a wierd, alien psychology. Because that's what a lot of anthro-races are missing. Culture. Random cat-people that are just humans with pointy ears and whiskers I hate, but give them a good culture and a place in the world (even if it's in the far reaches, unseen by human eyes) and I'm fine with them. Oh, and with rakshasas, not only are they shapeshifters, but not all of their natural forms have tiger heads in the original stories. Some had ape heads, bear heads, insectile features, etc. It's been referred to in the 2e Monstrous Manual and in the Ecology article a few months ago, but the D&D art has always been of tiger heads. Demiurge out. [/QUOTE]
