So, in this thread, a lot of folks expressed their displeasure with animal-people/furry races. The impression I got was that while people thought that animal races were not inherantly lame, they usually turned out that way.
Woodelf said it best:
My question to you is, given a boring old race of cat-people, or dog-people or insert-animal-name-here-people, what would you do to make them (1) original, (2) well-developed, and (3) interesting?

So, while the litorians and sibeccai of Arcana Unearthed disappointed me on the 1st point (the lion-people are nomadic individualistic warriors; the dog-people are doting servitors and highly urban/social), they defied flaws 2 and 3, being much more than that basic summary might imply.
