Remember that a century ago, some people thought that animals and even children could not really feel pain, for example.The old classification saying that only humans are sentient on earth has been eroded over time, and in particular the most intelligent mammals (wolves are certainly in that category) are now considered to have a part of sentience.D&D is even richer than our real world, and there are almost infinite combinations that can be imagined and used here. You might want to restrain yourselves for reasons of taste (which are fine), but there is nothing in the game that forbids low or high sentience inherently evil or good beings. Moreover, it is a common fantasy trope, so perfectly appropriate to the genre.I would also find them less interesting to play, to be honest.</blockquote>
