I have another race to tell about!!!

The Lumii(Old Sirian word for light(Siri is an old country in my world,it was abandoned and broken))are a race of light creatures.They are genderless,but have builds that look like a thin male.

Their ears are one of my favorite parts.They are near the top of their head,and are slightly round with wavy points towards the back.

They are made of light,light that walks around.They are very powerful dwellers of crystal and light magic.Most...

Well,I have a friend who I believe I can trust with this information.One day in elementary school,we just sat somewhere during recess coming up with spells.

Why oh why don't you share this with your friends!? The imagination is stellar!

If it's because you think they'd laugh at you, I entreat you to find someone anyone in real life who won't laugh, and do some serious brainstorming with them. They're out there, trust me.

When I saw the fishkin picture I thought of Murlocs from WoW(lots of fish things either remind me of zoras or murlocs)...

I like Murlocs.I like fish.

It does. That's why it works so well for the RPG.

Actually that thing would probably fit the HP universe pretty easily.

I actually created a race just so I could write one character in a Harry Potter RPG... that sounds really cheesy, but it's a lot of fun, especially since the trio is not in the picture.

Anyway... Werecats. They're similar to Werewolves... and yet completely different. They have three forms: Human, house cat, and big cat (lion, tiger, panther, etc. Anything predatory and in the cat family). They can use magic through wands like the Wizards and Witches in Harry Potter, but they usually...

I also build a lot of species, but aside from my 'babies' the Zekirans (who are anything you want em to be really, you just have to breed them right), the Zhmrrel are my favorites.

Feline humanoids, set at around a Victorian era tech level but with some stellar contact. The species was made for the Traveller universe, so with the Aslan already there as the big burly businesslike leonids, these are small and comparitvely wimpy. They're based on housecats, not lions, for one...

Man, I've had to build a lot of races.

Probalby one that stands out is the Uul. Based on some actual UFO reports, the Uul were a race that was basically a kind of evolved jellyfish/worm. No bones. Moved by a locomotory organ on the bottom of their body, the top was several tentacular appendages. They were hermaproditic. Their body was one sensory organ.

Their technology was interesting as they were not overly strong, but pretty dextrous. And not being overly large, they...

*gets out writing folder again and turns to section 59*

The Quammans are a race of human-like peoples who average at about 4 foot. They are quite plump, have white skin, round eyes which are usually brown or grey, and brown or black hair. They have deep voices (even the women and children) and are excellent hunters. The wizards in the race also have very good magical healing abilities.

The history of the Quammans is very unusual. They live in only one town and believe that the...

Weeeeelll.... This would be a great opportunity to get a race of mine out of my head and into some vestige of a corporeal form before it vanishes entirely from my imagination. Therefore, I give you:

The Fishkin

The Fishkin are an amphibious race of scaly, slippery creatures who live in the...

Eep - I'm at school right now so I don't have any of my notes. o_O I'll probably post here later.

...I'm actually pretty sad that I can't post the werewolf-like race a friend of mine invented - spent years on the buggers. -sigh- But she's recently had a chronic attack of boyfrienditis, has become stunningly stupid, and abandoned all the writing she's ever done. >< I've half a mind to bother her for her papers and ressurect the poor things.

Come one! COME ALL! Come to the grand (hopefully) showcase of races, a selection of the wonderful and weird races created by the wondrous and ponderous writers that grace this fantastical forum.

Please select one race of your choosing, created by your good selves, and preferably your favourite. Then simply post whatever description you like here (length etc does not matter really but the more the better I guess).

Then, when there is enough, we can criticize (not too much) and...
