What are some subspecies in your setting?

Tfw idiots had to make orcs more "accessable" by making them just misunderstood dindus. They went from embodiments of all the worst aspects of men to essentially just misunderstood oppresses green humans.

Common humans ( only ones who can handle artifacts ).

Stargazing humans that can sense nearby stars and planets and the galactic core.

I'm talking about tolkien orcs, not uruks. They were miserable little shits, greedy, thriving off pain even of their own, coeardly backstabbers who have to be driven to do anything by hunger or the whip. Are these badass traits?

I think he's talking about WoW orcs

Harpies have several sub-species.

Fisherkings are Harpies who are excellent swimmers, think various forms of penguins.

Dust Claws are also flightless but are bigger and have longer legs (with talons) sort of like ostriches and other such birds

The only bird like race I havn't given a name for is not related to Harpies but more to dragons because they have six limbs, Imagine a creature like Malfestio from MH except it has an extra set of arms folded against it's chest when not in use. They stand as tall as humans and have numerous shapes ranging from owl like to falcon like

>WOAH HE USED AN AXE
>WOAH HE LIVES IN A TENT
>WOAH HE TALKS ABOUT STRENGTH ALL THE TIME
>WOAH HES HUNKY

Faggots like you should be exterminated like the snagae you are.

Of what? I'll start off with humans but I've got a lot for most races/archetypes

>Men of Water and Song/Primordial Man
The gods first crack at making men. Innately pious and creative, but lacking motivation and pacifistic.

>Men of Iron and Fire/Imperial Man
The second draft, given fanatical , singleminded zeal, highly flexible morals, and (after some angelic intervention) massive skill at war. Conquered much of the known world

>Men of Clay/Common Man
Dilute, bastard children of the marriage of men of fire and water. Most people are these. They have a lot of potential but no real racial inclinations or abilities

>Men of Wood and Glass/Man-yet-to-come
Alleged future race of men, deviant intellectuals and degenerate worshipers of the self and the devil. Possibly just conjecture/racism, maybe not.

>Sons of Heaven/Celestine Bodhisatva/Thrice-Born
Souls close to ascension and Angel-hood after many lifetimes, sent back to earth with a taste of their power and none of their former memories as a test of character

>Kamisen/God-Bound
People turned into living avatars of some god/spirit, with part of their soul hollowed out and made otherworldly. Very weak physically, but strong magically and have their patron's blessings

>Forsaken/Damned and Lost/Black-tongues
People infected with demonic miasma, slowly turning into/gestating a demon. Gain powers but grow unstable. It's a terminal condition but some try their best to get the most out of life before they pop.

>L'Garda/Cheval D'Angelique
Frenchoid winged noblemen descended from ancient proto-indo-european birdmen interbreeding with humans. Think of themselves as angels since they got religion, and bully the church into agreement.

>Wargr/Wildmen
Humans with animalistic traits a la Sabertooth. Have totem familiars, can project their souls into them to scout, or turn them into werebeasts

>Draugr/Dead Men
Wargr that died and came back wrong. Basically a font of evil spirits that they use to make zombies.

For Humans
"Grays", "Fishmen"
>Humans that had been changed by a deity to be amphibious
>Gray and white waxy dolphin like skin
>Can breath underwater via neck gills
>A foot shorter than average humans, more compressed to handle deep pressure better
>Can interbreed with normal humans but always produces a Gray offspring.

Neanjoar, Deep Men
>Live in deep underground cities connected by subways
>Have "consumed" a population of Drow and interbred them into extinction
>Technically a stable half-drow population with nearly all the elf attributes bred out over time
>Distantly related to Grays, but before they were changed

For Elves

The Attan, Island Elves
>Dark tan skin, 5ft height average, 500 year lifespan, light hair and eye colors
>Simple islander lifestyle
>Specialize in sailing magics and manipulating nature against its will because fuck you world!
>Used extensively as slaves in the past
>Can not breed with any other species

The Riddari, City Elves
>Pale skin, average 6ft height, dark hair and eye colors
>Used to have 1000 year lifespans, now only slightly over 100.
>5% of the population has telekinesis
>Builds massive cities of marble and stone and artistically laid out with a mirrored undercity containing all the ugliness (waste disposal, manufacturing/industry, the poor)
>Military is made up of many Knightly orders from Warrior Knights to Mage Knights, all in intricate armor
>Can breed with humans, always produce more Riddari. Can not breed with Attan.
>Hate the Attan and believe they are a lesser species below goblins.
