[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8701723, member: 6802378"] [MEDIA=youtube]ewfocuUMDPU[/MEDIA] In the real life the hippopotamus (= "river horses") kill more people than lions. I suspect WotC/Hasbro is interested into the antropomorphic-animal PC races because these characters can be more popular among members from different lands. How to say it with the right words? If a child from London is watching Disney's The Lion King or the Book of the Jungle he forget the main characters aren't from Europe. Sorry if I can't explain it better. Hasbro needs to show signs their IPs are different, and the "iconic" creatures and characters send the message "this is original creation, don't accept imitations". I guess Hasbro wants to sell toys based in the giffs and other D&D creatures. The parents will buy it thinking it is the new wave after the boom of the power rangers, and the preteens believeing they are playing with a product for "young adults" or older people. * Don't you miss the insectares, bionoids, and the Vodonis?
