Could be a prelude to a Creature Crucible or something Mystara.

Owlfolk are Hsiao.

Probably not, but that would certainly be a worthwhile thing for WotC to do as an Extra Life PDF.

I could also see that as Goodman's OAR installment.

I like these (apart from the rabbitfolk jump).

The rewrite of the Hobgoblin save face ability is a lot better, fluff-wise - and fits their origin well. Notice that it's PB/Long rest instead of 1/SR - interesting.

This is a lot of flying to add to the game all at once. Any DMs with experience with flying PCs want to weigh in on how much of an issue it is at low levels?

I could definitely see these races being bundled with satyr and centaur in a setting book.

And for those with a problem with halflings -- and you people know who you are -- rabbitfolk seem like a good starting point for a replacement people. Give them waistcoats and pocketwatches, Alice in Wonderland style, and you can use a lot of the existing hobbit wardrobe and maybe even flavor.

And just like hobbits, they probably don't wear shoes. Possibly for economic reasons... Either that, or they have to buy clown shoes

I think anyone with issue with Hobbits probably will have issue with Rabbits.

Given how many medium-sized Bugs Bunny wannabes there will be out there, alongside small Peter Rabbit style rogues, my money's on the rabbitfolk.

It's interesting that they went this route for the Rabbit/Owl Folk, I am wondering if the developers chose to do these races rather than Hengeyokai or if it is completely separate. Choosing small or medium is an interesting design choice too.

... Do we have a bearfolk anywhere? Because if so, I'm calling it - Winnie the Pooh 5e conversion.

Right now, Kobold Press are collectively slapping their foreheads.
