What are some good mythical races and creatures which can meld well within a human society? No magic. No need to hide what they are from others. Renaissance tech civilizations or earlier.

Hard mode: no elves or dwarfs.

Gnomes, maybe.

Or warforged. Possibly as artificial laborers. Or a local baron imports a few as bodyguards to show off his wealth.

2. Can we fuck them?
If the answer to both is "yes", they'll very easily fit in with renaissance Europe.

Canine people. I'm not kidding. Cynocephali are an old medieval myth of dog headed people. They even have a Christian Saint, St Christopher. Though his origins as one of these is based on severe mistranslations but we can ignore that.

Tie this together with an already established medieval/Renaissance race, the Lupin of the Savage Coast D&D setting, and you have french canine people who live in a country called Renardy (a reference to Reynard the Fox which is Fox the Fox in French).

The source is Drifters. The context is that a faggot nobleman has arrived, so the elven boys must hide to not get raped.

And the joke is when the nobleman and his entourage arrives, they are disappointed how mundane, non-gay and non-magical the elven lands are.

I still remember that episode where they argued Washington was a better general than Napoleon.
Though there is some reasoning behind it that almost makes sense. In an earlier season they matched up US Marines against I think Spetznaz and the Muhreens lost. This led to such a massive viewer backlash that the productive team decided Americans were never again allowed to lose on the show, no matter how ridiculous. Turns out their new strategy worked.
>>
>>51088396
That is unreasonable though, "spetsnaz" is a worthless umbrella term that doesn't refer to anyone specifically and even the best of them are overrated as fuck.

Many I imagine, depends largely on the history and culture of your setting.

Terry Pratchett discworld could be good inspiration for you he has, Ogres, Goblins, Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, Vampires, Wherewolves, Golems, Zombies, Ghosts, Orc's all living relatively happily along with each other

wouldnt be a stretch to include other races like Kobolds, Various types of fey, Tieflings, Elementals etc
>>
>>51087761
Arcanum does a good job fitting a bunch of different races into an early 20th century setting. The magical aspects of the setting are practically non-existent in the higher technology areas.
>>

I can deal with the Ameriwank, I enjoy the meathead science, but their shitty actors playing experts killed the show for me.

Other anons already responded, but do check out Drifters at some point. It's only a dozen episodes but seeing historical figures interact with one another and the fantasy world they've been dropped into is entertaining.

I don't think so? But, it does have a butch lady-looks-like-a-due Joan of Arc that can shoot fire at people, and a musket obsessed Oda Nobunaga.
>>
>>51094244
The main character doesn't want to be the main character so you end up getting (a fairly accurate, for once) Nobunaga carrying most of the plot. A large chunk of the historical characters are Japanese but there's a fair amount of European ones too. There is some fanservicey stuff (for either sexual orientation) but the meat of the content is good action scenes and war strategy. The guy writing the manga also did Hellsing, if that helps temper expectations.

Though they, especially most fey, are very much magical creatures.
I find they lose a lot of their appeal if you don't want magic.

>which is Fox the Fox in French

In fairness, the French word for fox was originally something to the effect of "goupil", from the Latin "vulpes" (somehow). But the stories of Renard the Fox were so popular in France that "renard" replaced "goupil".

So Renard the Fox in French is more properly "Renard the Renard".

"Renard" comes from Germanic and means something to the effect of "brave/hardy advice".

You now realize that in English, the equivalent of this linguistic development would be "Pooh" replacing the word bear.

The answer is always beast-folk.
You can have Lion-Folk and Eagle-Folk mix with the nobility, Dog-Folk and Horse-Folk serve as a hardworking middle class and Oxen-Folk and Donkey-Folk be the dock/factory worker grunts. Snake-Folk are clearly foreigners.

From wikipedia:
Reports of dog-headed races can also be traced back to Greek antiquity. In the fifth century BC, the Greek physician Ctesias wrote a detailed report on the existence of cynocephali in India, known as Indica.[2] Similarly, the Greek traveller Megasthenes claimed to know about dog-headed people in India who lived in the mountains, communicated through barking, wore the skins of wild animals and lived by hunting.[3] Herodotus reports claims by ancient Libyans that such creatures inhabit the east of their lands, as well as headless men and various other anomalies.[4]

The best estimate for the place where the battle between the Argonauts and the Cynocephali took place is modern day North Serbia, or South Hungary.

Murasaki and EASY are pretty obviously both subordinates to someone or something - Murasaki is seen doing deskwork and is dissed by EASY for being below her, while EASY wears a nametag and is also dissed back by Murasaki for being two-bit, which she honestly seems to take offense to.
I'm saving the actual spoiler for when it comes up in the anime, since the anime is considered to be a lot better even in Japan, but deciding that two opposed mysterious figure must be God and the Devil is a bit too easy. There's no evidence in favor of it, either.
