In this world, the only sentient beings are humanoid versions

More original than the painfully standard human-dwarf-elf trio. Probably more interesting too if handled correctly, as this could lead to a lot more diverse cultures and temperaments than [insert your current culture here]-Scottish-Arrogant.

But how do you handle fantasy creatures that are usually humanoid, like lamias, minotaurs, and the like?

Humanoid monsters ended up emerging either by chance or because humans started fucking monsters and produced human/monster offspring.

Either way, once they appeared, normal human men and women couldn't compete, and so, due to sexual selection, after many generations, there remained no humanoids with non-monster traits.

By leaving them humanoid. Duh.

Monsters that predominantly eat meat would probably have a hard time coexisting with herbivores. Monsters that occupy the same niche would likewise have a hard time coexisting.

Sounds like typical anime crap.

>>53048380
Why can't they be normally shaped monsters? I feel that would be much more interesting than having various flavors of regular people.

What would the culture of the nonhuman monsters be? I can certainly see some being more brutal than others.

Also, how humanoid are they? Full furry completely bestial, or only slightly monstrous?

>>53048380
And there's only one actual human left, but doesn't know she's actually human?

But in truth, she's just like the monster girls, but the monster half is also human

Pro-tip, Humans are just Ape Monster-folk

This idea i like.
Imagen the players of such a setting as inhabitants of a super dungeon.
>Steve the rogue mimic
>Rob the zombie babarian
>Raul the goblin paladin
>etc.

And for them the fungeon is just the world as they know it, with factions, anarchy, villages and untamed cave systems.

The adventures could be kept in a gritty sunday morning cartoon style.

Endgame would be of course the exploration of the "Superdungeon" above, where those pesky invaders come from and half of the day a giant fire in the sky tries to burn your flesh off.

Oh boy, they drink mead instead of ale and use axes instead of axes.

Idea: 12 sapient species, each based on one of the animals from the Chinese zodiac. Humans are the monkey-folk.

Are you a tough enough dude to run a between town courier system through the monstro countryside?

>Humans are the monkey-folk.
Lame. Monkeyfolk are vastly underused as it is.

>>53056091
I like using monkey folk better as creepy human-imitators.
You know, the "I like you so much I want to be you" type who will both treat you as an honored guest and also try to eat your heart for your powers.

>>53056104
I like them more as monkeyfolk instead of tryhard grimwank, but maybe that's just me.

>>53056127
Eesh, a little prickly today, eh anon?

Rat: Something like the Nezumi from MTG or the Skaven from WH.
Ox: Minotaurs
Tiger: Something like a Leonin from MTG, but with tigers instead of lions. Maybe something vaguely Rakshasa like.
Rabbit: Viera from Final Fantasy
Dragon: Something like a dragonkin, dragonborn, half-dragon, whatever.
Snake: Lamia
Horse: Centaur
Goat: Satyr, only with a goat
Monkey: Human
Rooster: Something like a harpy, but flightless. More like a feathered man/raptor.
Dog: Something like a gnoll, but with dogs
Pig: Japanese style pig orcs.

>>53048380
The gods are humanoid. Only beings worth enough to evolve into the divine shape achieve true sentience.

>>53056002
There is a manga about this

>>53058534
You're talking about "12 beast" right?
