Wow how could I have forgotten Bullywugs!
I think it pretty much shows that Orcs, Gobs &, Ogres are pretty much the 'Iconics of Fantasy' and as much as I'd hate to admit it Kobolds are the DnD Iconic 'lil bugger"

Note that I am assuming that "humanoid" means only those creatures expressly considered humanoids in D&D, and not just things with a human body plan.
