I mean, look at one of the games I'm playing right now: Tactics Ogre (the PSP remake). The main story of that game is built around ethnic conflict, ethnic genocide, murky morality, conflicting imperialism and nationalism, and so on all between humans (who don't even look that different from each other). At the same time, any random group of highwaymen is likely to have two dragons, three faeries, and a handful of undead skeletons in their midst. The main list of useable species include people with wings, lizardmen, lamias, orcs (who are explicitly demonic), gryphons, giant octopi, cockatrices, cyclopses, golems, demon imps, skeletons, ghosts, angels, and dragons. And there are no elves, dwarves, or accursed halflings in sight. I absolutely love it.</blockquote>
