Halflings aren't generally good either - but they generally are on the side of the good guys, just like lizzies are on the side of the guys who get slaughtered by the good guys.Locathah are Neutral. Which is fitting, considering that they're uglier than the good merfolk and prettier <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> than the evil sahuagin.Aranea are not very common in most campaigns. They're also neutral and probably a little more often enemies than allies of the PCs (which good guy wants to work with spiders?). They're also shapechangers, so they can look good when they want.Harpies are common, though. And undead. And 4 kinds of dog-shaped outsiders - but belongs in another thread. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> And a joke race. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Did WotC even convert them to 3.5? If you want to compare outsiders, go ahead. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Both LE and CE each have one appealing, humanoid fiend. How many do the good guys have and how nice do the other fiends look? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Besides, the evil seductive tempter role has to be filled by somebody and that somebody better look the part. Yeah, ever since 3e. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Besides, artists want to make cool pictures - not accurate pictures. The text says:[/sblock] Hello rounser. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[sblock] It's true. Maybe it's because we react better to pretty people - and when we like somebody more, we're less likely to think they're bad people. Yeah. Most other neutral races also can work for that - whether it's evil halflings and gnomes or nice lizardmen and aranea. But for humans, being on all sides comes naturally.[/sblock]</blockquote>
