They tell me all the D&D races are just humans wearing various funny hats, so I guess humans.

before this fixing with the new DL book I would have nominated kender... but for now I am going the psychic Manard from 3.5... a race of humans with a sonic scream... it stands out because the other ones from that book (Dromite, Blu goblin, half giant, and my fav the Elan) were all so amazing they became staples in our games for not just that edition but even to this day with house rules.

The wildren and the neraphin from 3.5 Planar handbook.

No rule is inviolate
The post language is a bit incendiary, but I'll bite. Pistol-wielding space hippos? Or anything "half-vampire" or "half-drow," all the powers, none of the drawbacks.

In the mid 1980s I gave my players the opportunity to enter into a Warpig Race where the PCs rode the Warpigs down a mountainside, across a trap filled bridge, and through the surface and subterranean capital city of a dwarven empire. It was one of those 'the only rule is there are no rules' moments. When the race started the PCs all blasted everyone in it with their strongest fire spells, killing all the pigs and most of the combatants. Then the PCs walked the course and won the race - while the mounts were slow cooked over a spit to provide a victory feast. That kind of sucked.

Whichever one doesn't fit in your milieu.

I'm not liking the animal headed things in the new playtest.

There are SO MANY to choose from, I couldn't possibly narrow it down to "the worst"... at least half of them fit the bill IMO.

Vampire was a class in late 4e. The race you’re probably thinking of was Vryloka, which while connected to vampires, was properly a race you were born into rather than a condition people could acquire.

Thank god, they haven't come to 5e, but the Raptorians: A Now Shut Up race to DMs with a fear of flying to offer as a 'compromise'. They get a sad glide ability and look absolutely stupid with weird bird feet and a racial weapon 'the foot bow', which is actually not useful due to how the glide ability worked.
Also they're a species with females who are the ISO standard slim-waisted waif who lay eggs. Eggs that are described in a way that one assume they shatter the mother's pelvis to be born.
Also space hippos for life, I say, good chap.

Damn I’d had blocked Gully dwarfs from my memory and now youve gone and brought all that trauma back again …
