Loads and Loads of Races | comment |
One common way of cementing the grand scale of a fantasy or science-fiction world is to include a wide variety of different sapient races. As is often the case in speculative fiction, "race" in this trope actually means species, or sub-species — we aren't talking ethnicity or skin color here. And racing is right out. When you have 15 or more, not counting hybrids, you have Loads and Loads. Note that this trope can't be an Informed Attribute; the creator needs to give each race at least a little description, screentime, or artwork. In science-fiction, Loads and Loads of intelligent species may be a way to distinguish planets from one another and display the diversity one might expect to see traveling across the galaxy or universe. For example, one world might be inhabited by a group of reptilian aliens while another could be full of Starfish Aliens or even Eldritch Abominations. Fantasy works might be more inclined to have Beast Men — species that are essentially humans with some added fur or scales — into their diverse world, but the fantasy and science-fiction uses of this trope tend to be fairly similar overall. (Compare Beast Fable.) One Gender Races are not uncommon in works with Loads and Loads of Races. Some of the races included in such works may be Always Chaotic Evil or serve as Evil Counterpart Races to another group known for being more heroic. Having many different races tends to involve Hats, though highly detailed Multicultural Alien Planets can be an effective way of mixing things up. The differences between each race also need not be incredibly large, and they might not even be entirely separate species. So long as the creator of a work makes a point of distinguishing between them in more than just culture, all of the races could be similar-looking Human Aliens. Sometimes a race is less a biological species, and more of a mutation or modification (such as werewolves, zombies, cyborgs, vampires). Some works treat these as mere variants of whatever they used to be, but in other works they are treated, for all intents and purposes, as separate species. Compare Monster Mash. May be a sign of a Fantasy Kitchen Sink. Compare Standard Fantasy Races, which can occasionally overlap with this trope. When a game lets players choose their character or team from a great number of playable races, it has a Massive Race Selection instead. Note that card games do not involve "playing" a race, so their examples are listed here instead. |

Guild Wars 2 features Humans, Asura, Charr (Cat Folk), Norn (Norse giants), Sylvari (plant people), Centaurs, Dredge (communist molerat people), Giants (several subraces), Grawl (ape people), Hylek (Mayincatec frog people), Kodan (polar bear people), Krait (snake people), Largos (humanoid manta rays), Ogres, Quaggan (pacifist manatee/whale people), Skritt (hiveminded rat people), Tengu (bird people), and some more familiar fantasy races. Only the first five are playable, disqualifying it for Massive Race Selection. | |

Munchkin has loads of races by now, due to its many expansions and editions which can all be combined: The original had humans (the standard-race for every player), dwarfs, elves and halflings The expansion packs gave orcs, lizard guys, centaurs and gnomes. Munchkin Bites added changelings, vampires, werewolves and, with the Pants Macabre expansion, mummies Munchkin Conan added Cimmerians, Stygians, Kushite and Zamorians Munchkin Legends had the standard dwarfes, elves and halflings and added fauns Star Munchkin added cyborgs, felines, mutants and, with the The Clown Wars expansion, bugs And all of those races can be combined with the Half Breed card, so a character can easily be half-dwarf, half-cyborg or half-Cimmerian, half-Faun. |

Might and Magic VI has a single playable race (humans), and takes place in a setting with elves (at least three variants, though only two were known at the time), dwarves (at least two variants, though the second wasn't revealed until two games later), goblins, orchs, centaurs, demons-that-are-really-aliens, demons-that-are-not-aliens, angels, genies, efreet, minotaurs, gremlins, halflings, robots, dragons, lizardfolk, gnolls, treants, naga, cyclops, trolls, ogres, several elemental beings (four known at the time)... admittedly, many of those don't actually show up in that game, but they had been established to exist by previous games and a concurrently released game that took place on the same world. The following RPG games also count, as the only one that arguably reaches 6 playable races is VIII, and that depends on if you count vampires that explicitly reproduce by infecting others with vampirism as a 'race' for the purposes of the Massive Race Selection trope. | |

In Rice Boy's homeworld, Overside, there tend to be well-defined civilisation-races like the Frog-Men of Spatch, the Fin-Folk of Tenshells, the Machine-Men of the Iron Teeth, the Horned of the Stone Palm... and then there are people like Arctaur, with four closely-packed legs and a head like a cross between a broken donut and a power adapter. Many oneshot body types seem to once have been part of their own race, but estranged in space or the Last of His Kind. Beyond the above, the wiki names and describes Blackbirds, Dimmons, Fluters, Gaundts, Gorrkans, Hornèds, Ice-Striders, Machine Men, Rhed, Sahtans, Shade-Kin, Sirpah, Trills, and War-Men. There are also the unnamed inhabitants of Seen and Taragi, and the mysterious White Formless. | |

The original My Little Pony cartoon. Earth Ponies, Pegasus Ponies, Unicorn Ponies, Sea Ponies, Flutter Ponies, Bushwoolies, Grundles, Furbobs, Stonebacks, Flories, Crab Nasties, and more. As of Season 9 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, we have the first three of those as the most common races of equine, plus Crystal Ponies, Breezies, Changelings, Saddle Arabians, Zebras, Donkeys, Hippogriffs, Kirins, Mules, and Alicorns. When you extend it to non-equine races, you also have Dragons, Griffons, Diamond Dogs, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Gargoyles, Buffalo, Yaks, at least three sapient farm animals (two of which are taken care of by Applejack's family for some reason), Humans, Sea Serpents, Draconequii, Ahuizotls, Sirens, and all manner of anthropomorphic creatures a-la Catrina. If you dip into the books and comics, you add to the bundle Seaponies and Merponies, Trolls, Giant Spiders, Demons of varying sorts, Moonbeasts, and a plethora of intelligent underwater denizens. |

Earth Eternal started beta with 22 PC races. Note that they are mechanically identical; all 22 play the same with nary a stat or ability difference, thus they don't give Massive Race Selection. In-universe, however, they're all entirely separate species (mostly Humanoid Aliens, plus Plant People, Clockwork dudes, Cyclopes, Yeti, and Warcraft Orcs with the serial numbers filed off). Then there were the non-playable races in the lore — mushroom people, tree people, vampires, liches, humans, Dor'kana aliens, demons, gods, creepy Dwarf/Mole-Rat guys, the extinct Maar, and more Humanoid Aliens. Sadly, the actual game only has 12 PC races, presumably still with no mechanical distinction. | |

Foster's Humanx Commonwealth series has a lot of races, as pretty much every planet with life has sentient natives also. Aside from a few dozen species known to the Commonwealth, the planet Quofum stands out as world-of-origin to perhaps hundreds of sentient races, some still extant and others extinct. | |

Dragon Ball: Freeza's army is made up of members of countless different intergalactic races, the Other World is populated by the deceased members of even more races, and then there's all the different races introduced in GT. Finally there's the races the series focuses on the most: humans, Saiyans, Namekians, Freeza's unnamed race, Majins, Kais, Ogres, and the humanoid animals that live on Earth alongside humans. | |

Discworld started with humans, trolls, and elves — although even this was explained in the context of Rincewind trying to work out why there were still dryads. Then gnomes and dwarfs got added in The Light Fantastic, and gnolls in Equal Rites. Then Reaper Man added zombies, vampires, werewolves, weremen, bogeymen and banshees. Then Lords and Ladies introduced The Fair Folk, so the elves that had been vaguely mentioned previously had to be explained as Half-Human Hybrids. Feet of Clay added golems, and Carpe Jugulum added the Nac Mac Feegle (later explained as a society of gnomes) and the Igors (who may or may not be human, it's not quite clear). Thief of Time included yeti. Unseen Academicals introduced orcs and featured the first mention of goblins, who would go on to play a major role in Snuff (as well as a throwaway reference to a "Medusa" in the Watch). (And Night Watch had a brief mention of kvetches, but never really explained what they were beyond being covered in hair). In the same vein as the Golems we get Gargoyles. On a stranger front, we get Demons, Things from the Dungeon Dimension, and certain Anthropomorphic Personifications (Time specifically, but maybe each one can be seen as a separate race). Also gods, genies (Sourcery), Auditors of Reality, occasional sentient dragons (The Colour of Magic and Guards! Guards!), "Stupid Lizard Men" (presumed extinct as of The Last Hero) and Furies (Unseen Academicals) | |

Final Fantasy XIV, in addition to having eight PC races, also has the Garleans, an NPC race who hail from The Empire. There are also numerous Beastman races that appear over the course of the story, from hostile races such as the lizard-like Amal'jaa, the insectoid Gnath, and the snake-like Ananta to friendlier races such as the Moogles, the Lupin, and the Kojin, as well as others of indeterminate temperament, from the small mercantile Namazu to the massive dragons of Draviania, just to name a few. | |

The Order of the Stick has plenty, based as it is on D&D, but it also has a surprisingly broad distribution among the actual characters. Even discounting random monsters, there have been at least three named characters for each of the following: human (Roy, Haley, Elan), elf/dark elf (Vaarsuvius, Lirian, Zz'dtri), dwarf (Durkon, Hilgya, Kraagor), halfling (Belkar, Serini, Hank), half-orc (Thog, Therkla, Bozzok), kobold (Yikyik, Kilkil, the Oracle), lizardfolk (Gannji, Enor, Malack), goblinoid (Redcloak, Jirix, Right-Eye)—plus the occasional sylph (Celia), gnome (Leeky), catfolk, weird frog person, ogre, etc. | |

The Men in Black franchise features dozens of alien species, as seen here. And considering that many aliens are able to pass themselves off as human (with varying degrees of success), some of whom are only seen in human form onscreen, there are likely even more species than are identified. | |

The Four Horsemen Universe: According to exposition there are a few thousand species in the Union. Of those, 37 species work as mercenaries and a few hundred more commonly hire them. The first two books of the main series alone name humans, Besquith, Veetanho, Zuul, MinSha, GenSha, Jivool, Flatars, Tortantulas, Jehas, Cochkala, Pendals, Duplato, and Fey. The short stories add Arezzo (and their subculture Arritim), K'Kng, Oogar, and Avaka. | |

Schlock Mercenary features humans, neophants, primates, amorphs, F'Sherl-Ganni, Pa'anuri, Frellenti, Fobott'r, Vhorwed, Uniocs, Uklakk, Schuul, O'Benn, Kssthrata, Daehremmah, Ystreben, Kreelies, Bradicor, and Enireth. Members of each of these have been prominent protagonists or antagonists of at least one story arc. One strip suggests that even these are just the tip of the iceberg. |

Seems to be the case in The Parselmouth of Gryffindor, to Hermione's growing dismay, between regular sapient species whom the Ministry of Magic overlooks (goblins, giants, dementors, serpents, etc.) to artificial beings (portraits, gargoyles, the Sorting Hat) to the more confusing creatures that can become sapient, but aren't always, like owls and boggarts. | |

The Stargate-verse has around 22 known races, around half of which only appeared in a couple of episodes. Of those that didn't, we have humans, the Goa'uld and their Jaffa mooks, the Asgard, the ascended Ancients and their evil counterparts the Ori, the Wraith, and the Replicators and their Pegasus Galaxy counterparts the Asurans. Then there's the Ursini who menaced the crew of Destiny, and the Berserker Drones who appeared not long before SGU's cancellation. And, naturally, humanity, which is subdivided into Earthlings (called Tau'ri in the Milky Way and Atlanteans in the Pegasus Galaxy) and countless societies of Transplanted Humans. | |

InCryptid mentions at one point that there are over 900 known cryptid species, over 80 of which are humanoid (not counting non-humanoid sapients like Aeslin mice). Even limiting it to sapient species who actually appear in the series, there are lilu, johrlac, bogeymen, three species of gorgons, lamia, chupacabra, ukupani, huldra, tanuki, waheela, fūri, jor�gumo, wadjet, dragon princesses, finfolk, sirens, sasquatch, ghouls, jinks, cornwives, caladrius, sylphs, mara, plus many unnamed species... And that's not counting the dozens of different types of ghosts (though those mostly appear in the Ghost Roads series in the same universe). | |

The Marvel Universe is bursting with races with Humans, Mutants, Inhumans, Atlantians, Lemurians, Deviants, Eternals, Avians, the Zebra-Children, Proto-Cavemen, vampires, sentient plants, genetically uplifted apes, an assortment of gods and a sentient bacterial hive-mind to name a few; and that's before we've even left Earth. The list of Alien races include Skrull, Kree, Shi'ar, Badoon, Brood, Wraiths, Chitauri, Titans, and an unknowable number of other races. | |

The Mansion of E has numerous species living in the vast underground complex beneath the Mansion; their ancestors were gathered there as exhibits in a zoo by another now-vanished species. They include Humans, Gnolls, Nomes, Ghasts, Oozes, Wyrms (large and small), Troglodytes, Saurs, Motihauls, Ichyoids, Helipaths, Gobules, Pales, Jibjibs, Spyders, Robots, Killer Trees, and Talking Rocks. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has dozens, if not hundreds, of races across the various editions. As of 5th Edition, including various subraces, dragonmarks, and various bloodlines, there's over 100 options, just for the playable characters alone, and that's just from Official material alone. In fact, here's JoCat's list of some of the races, in song form. | |

The Sector General series by James White, set on a space-station hospital, has so many races, they have a four-letter coding system to classify them rather than just list a few (or a few dozen). Even at that, humans have to share the code "DBDG" with two other (vaguely human-looking) species. There are well over fifteen species with at least minor speaking roles. | |

The Legend of Zelda has loads of non-playable races: Across the entire series there have been Humans, Goblins (subdivided into Moblins, Bokoblins, Miniblins, Bulblins, and Big Blins), Fairies, Dragons, Zoras, Gorons, Kokiri, Skull Kids, Sheikah, Gerudo, Deku, Tokay, Koroks, Picori/Minish, Twili, Ooccas, Kikwis, Mogmas, and many more. Humans are further divided by the long-eared Hylians, mystical Sheikah, and Gerudo, the latter being a group that is most notable for their skin color and unusual gender imbalance. There also are various round eared humans from locations outside of Hyrule such as the Holodrum, Labryana, Ordon and Hytopia. They appear nearly identical to the Hylians, though presumably lack their connection to the goddess Hylia. | |

The setting qualifies since the only race available for single-player characters is human, though Mass Effect 3 multiplayer falls under Massive Race Selection instead. In just the races of the current cycle, we have asari, batarians, Collectors, drell, elcor, hanar, humans, geth, krogan, quarians, rachni, salarians, turians, volus, vorcha, and yahg. Other races are said to exist off-screen, though only a few are actually named. Also known are the protheans (the dominant race of the preceding cycle and the original form of the Collectors), the thorian (a mind-controlling plant creature predating the current cycle), the Inusannon (the race dominating the cycle prior to the protheans), the Reapers (the Big Bad, a race of cybernetic Eldritch Abominations that harvest spacefaring peoples every 50,000 years or so), and the Leviathans (a roughly 1 billion-year-old species of building-sized squid whose ill-advised attempt to protect their vassal races from themselves caused the Reapers' creation). Supplementary materials mention a race that used Brain Uploading to escape their world (people in-universe just call them the Virtual Aliens), the raloi (birdlike aliens), and the Kirik, a race of biotic insects with signs of intelligence. | |

Mass Effect: Andromeda continues the tradition by adding two new major races (the kett and the angarans), mentioning many more (the Archon says that the kett conquered over a thousand other species, named ones including the eealen, thusali, and sirinde) and allowing at least one of them in multiplayer. The single player protagonist is still always human. |

Star Trek. The humans, the Vulcans (Space Elves), the Romulans (the Vulcans' nastier cousins [So... Space Drow?]), the Klingons (Space Orcs), the Borg (Bee People), the Bajorans (Religious Revolutionaries), the Cardassians (spies and assassins), and the Ferengi (interstellar merchants) are the most prominent ones. A lot more that turn up only in individual episodes or plot arcs, and others are represented by a main character (Betazoids, Trill, Denobulans...) The Enterprise crew encounters a new alien race not quite Once an Episode. Of course, that's their mission. The result is a galaxy populated by at least hundreds if not thousands of races, of which all but a very few seem to be either Human Aliens, Rubber-Forehead Aliens, or Space Elves. | |

Super Mario Bros. has a massive amount colorful and unique races. The ones with bigger focus on them in the main platformer series alone are Humans, Toads, Koopas, Yoshis, Piantas and Lumas, with many other minor friendly ones here and there. The sentient races that tend to stick to the Mook side of things add Goombas, Koopa Troopas (and their many variations), Lakitus, Shy Guys, Boos, Bob-ombs, and several others to the list. Take into account the races added by the RPG subseries, the many, many spin-offs, and the Shared Universes with the Donkey Kong and Wario series, and the numbers skyrocket faster than you can say "Mamma Mia!". | |

In addition to the twelve playable races represented by the player characters, Armello has a number of unplayable other critters referenced through various cards and occasional random events. The King being a lion is the most obvious example, but there are also snakes, bats, boars, pigs, various species of cat and dog, frogs, lizards, hedgehogs, field mice, yaks, multiple kinds of stoats, some lemurs, druids that are heavily implied to be deer, and a random in-game event where the player encounters goblins. Interestingly enough, some members of both the Bandit clan and the Dragon clan had their species represented in some cards before the expansions made them into playable races. |

The world of Devil's Candy is populated by devils, who are technically one species but come in an incredible number of hereditary “devil types� encompassing pretty much every folkloric monster you’ve ever heard of and some that you haven’t. The main cast features an imp, a grindylow, a cyclops, a vampire, a satyr, a daemon, and a Frankenstein's Monster, and the grindylow and the cyclops are of mixed heritage (the former is half-something invisible, and the cyclops is half-nymph). Spread pages full of people are a sight to behold, because every single person is a different kind of monster. According to legend, they were all one race before a mysterious figure called the Giver gifted them with various augmentations. | |

Wakfu is this at first glance, though in fact it is a subversion of this trope. The "races" in Dofus (and by extension Wakfu) are more along the line of classes or religions. The characters may change in appearance to match that of their gods, but all are still basically "humans" (and there are un-classed, baseline human NPCs too). Which explains why interbreeding — like with Kabrok (an Osamodas) and Miranda (an Ecaflip), or with Sadlygrove (a Iop) and Evangelyne (a Crâ) — is perfectly possible. | |

Regular Show not only has numerous anthropomorphic animal species including Mordecai and Rigby themselves, but also many fantastical beings from earth or otherwise. Among them are Yetis, sentient vending machines, living clouds, super ducks and geese, ghosts, unicorns, Guardians, Synthronians, Carlocks, Anthropomorphic Personifications of brand drinks and video formats, Odd Job Gods(usually of mundane things like phone messaging and basketball), Robots, demons, and Lollilandersrepresented by Pops. All of them are shown as completely normal for a world that runs on Magic Realism. | |

One Piece has a number of races and tribes, members of most of which can be found on Big Mom's dream nation of Totto Land. The most widespread, dominant, and plot-relevant race is the humans, and most of the main characters are also humans (or modified humans, such as Franky and Brook). Even the humans of the series are much more widely varied than humans of our world: normal humans in One Piece can go up to almost 9m tall (such as Big Mom) and live to around 140 years (Dr. Kureha is 141 post-timeskip). They can also be pretty much any shape and size. After humans, the fishlike underwater races are the most prominently featured in the story, befitting an oceanic setting. There are two variants: Fishmen (who are anthropomorphic, with torsos based on aquatic animals like fish and octopuses) and Merfolk (who instead has lower halves based on aquatic animals, much like classic mermaids). It is unclear how distinct the two really are: while they are physiologically different, have different abilities, and seem to have somewhat different worldviews, most of them live in the same location (Fishman Island) and they can interbreed with one another, with the resulting offspring being either a fishman or a mermaid that could be of any aquatic animal. Both can also produce Half-Human Hybrids (Big Mom has several kids who are either half-fishman or half-mermaid), and on a darker note they're also subjected to the same prejudice and mistreatment from many humans who believe them to be nothing more than fish. Then you've got the sky-based races: Winged Humanoids who originated from the moon and currently live on the clouds above the world. There are three variants: the Shandians (who once actually lived on the blue seas before getting knocked into the sky), the Skypieans, and the Birkans. The size and shape of their wings distinguish them from each other. Similar to the fishmen and the merfolk, it is unclear how distinct they are from one another, and we know very little about their genetics due to the fact that they have been in constant conflict for a long time now. There are also the giants, humanoids whose sizes can range from anywhere between 12m to 22m. They are seen here and there across the Grand Line, although the most famous giants are the warrior types who hail from the island of Elbaf. Some of them are pirates while others work for the Marines. They can also breed with fishmen/merfolk to produce hybrids called Wotans, though only one has been shown so far. There are also subsets of giants: one is the 'Mysterious Giants' represented by the Yeti Cool Brothers, both of which are twice as tall as the tallest giants at around 40m; then there's the 'Ancient Giants' such as Oars and his descendant Little Oars Jr., and those can reach a height of about 60-70m and have horns! On the other end of the size spectrum is the the dwarves, who are nothing like the usual fantasy dwarves and are more akin to fairies instead, being tiny humanoid creatures (smaller than a foot) with fluffy tails, pointy noses, and somewhat chibi appearances, with a dash of gullibility on top. They're also prodigious with growing plants, adding to the 'natural fairy' aesthetic. So far they've only been shown to live on Green Bit, which is part of Dressrosa, and thanks to Big Mom we know they too can produce Half-Human Hybrids. Next are the minks, which are a millennia-old race of humanoids with animalistic features, specifically furry mammals, that basically makes them look like your standard furry. They live on the island of Zou, located on the back of a humongous elephant, and they have two rulers who divide their rule into 'day' and 'night'. All minks are born warriors and they can use an electrical ability called Electro, which is even noted to be a telltale sign of a mink. They can also transform under the light of the full moon into a super mode called Sulong, which could go berserk if the mink using it isn't disciplined. Much like fishmen and merfolk, minks of different animals can interbreed and produce offspring of a completely different mammal, although we've never seen or heard of a Half-Human Hybrid. Finally, we have the humanoid long-limbed tribes: the longarms, the longlegs, and the snakenecks. Members of the longarm tribe have an extra elbow joint, which gives them very long arms but are otherwise proportioned similarly to normal humans. They also seem to dress in Chinese-style clothing. Members of the longleg tribe have extremely tall legs which puts them on average at the same height as the bigger humans (though their everything else is, again, proportioned similarly to normal humans). Like the sky races, the longarms and the longlegs have been fighting each other for a long time, but hybrids between the two (known as a longlimb human) can and do exist, as Big Mom has one trapped in her son's book. Finally, the snakenecks have ridiculously elongated necks (seeing a pattern yet?) and a tendency to have very thin and slender bodies, which makes them look more like, well, snakes. We've never seen a full-blooded snakeneck, but we have seen Half-Human Hybrids of all three thanks to, once again, Big Mom. There are also a bunch of other races and tribes that we currently know extremely little about, such as the Three-Eyed Tribe (they have three eyes which help them hear the Voice of All Things) or the Kinokobito (tiny mushroom people, one of which was seen in Big Mom's book), and new races are constantly being introduced: the most recent representatives of new races include King (a Winged Humanoid with fire powers, referred to as a Lunarian) and Yamato (stated to be an Oni, which may or may not have anything to do with either humans or giants). |

Extraterrestrials include Coluans, Daxamites, Durlans, Khunds, Kreel, Korugarans, the Reach, Tamaranians the last few Kryptonians and Martians along with innumerable others, with many represented in the Green Lantern Corps. Then there are the many races which hail from other planes of reality like the fey and gods. | |

Orion's Arm: The setting contains millions of different "clades." Most of these are terragen (descended from Earth life) and include Human Subspecies (some of which look more like Starfish Aliens) and provolved animals. There're also A.I.s, cyborgs, robots, sentient vehicles, and at least 17 extant xenosophont species that have been identified, and only about a 10,000 light-year radius sphere of the galaxy has been explored. | |

The Starfleet Adventures mod for Escape Velocity Nova has at least fifteen governments controlling territory on the map, and that's when you count the United Federation of Planets as a single species to save time. The number tops thirty easily when you don't. Your Player Character is human, though there are nonhuman command crew available. | |

The Ultra Series. Along with its numerous Kaiju, it's also had plenty of aliens (referred as Seijin, meaning Star-People, in the original Japanese) over its nearly 50 year run. While the original Ultraman and the preceding but lesser-known Ultra Q had some, it wasn't until the largely-Kaijuless Ultraseven that the aliens became a regular part of the show. To name the most well-known, we've got Alien Baltan, Alien Metron, Alien Zarab, Gutz Seijin, Alien Knuckle, Alien Temperor, Dada, Alien Mephilas, Alien Magma, Alien Babalou, Alien Hipporito, and Alien Valky.

In the Hainish 'verse by Ursula K. Le Guin every planet is a Lost Colony populated by Human Aliens descending from the same species. While people from different planets may look radically different, most planets are no more diverse than Earth. The biggest exception is Rokanan from Rocannon's World. As a result of some ancient genetic experiments it has five distinct species of Humanoid Aliens (some of which are also split into subraces, with rampant Fantastic Racism) and lots of species of non-humanoid aliens. Midway through the book the Earthling hero refuses to hunt since he may kill someone who can talk, though locals aren't that picky. Another victim of gene tinkering are indeterminate-gendered Gethenians from The Left Hand of Darkness. | |

Drowtales may qualify, largely as the result of curses, transformation spells that couldn't be reversed, and genetic engineering experiments. Specifically, you've got: elven races (dokkalfar, drowolath, drowussu, vanir, ver'drowendar, and xule'solen), dwarven races (duergar and gnomes), goblins (embari, halmes, rift halmes, hemoines, kotorcs, and noz), ferals (normal cat, squashed - face cat, and racoon variants), nagas, driders (waeliniders, streekaiders, and ne'kalsaiders), dryads, and locust faeries. | |

Delicious in Dungeon features many races as befitting fantasy story: Our Kobolds Are Different: Members of the Kobold race look like bipedal dogs. They also have a sharper sense of smell and poison resistance. Hobbits: Chilchuck is a halfling with keen senses. He is so light that he can avoid setting off pressure plate traps, and also has a very youthful appearance. Because of their diminutive stature, fast aging compared to other races, and child-like appearances, halflings tend to suffer the most discrimination. Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Dwarves spend their time mining and digging holes underground. Males have long, unkempt beards. Females lack the facial hair, but both genders are short and stout compared to humans, and also much stronger. They also have high interest in ores, gems, and minerals. Senshi is an exception since he likes cooking better than mining. Namari, a female dwarf, is highly versed in metals and weaponry. Our Elves Are Different: Elves here have Pointy Ears, live much longer than humans, and are the most magic-proficient race. If Laios is to be believed, humans in general think they're good-looking, especially the long ears. Our Gnomes Are Weirder: Gnomes are second only to elves when it comes to magic. They also apparently can communicate with nature spirits, and negatively see the elves' use of magic as too clinical. Our Mermaids Are Different: There are two types of merfolk. The first is human-type merfolk, which look like traditional mermaids. They can sing enchanting songs to lure adventurers into the water. The other is fish-type merfolk (mermen), which wield tridents and look like fish with human arms. They're more fish than human though, since they hatch from eggs and spend their juvenile stage looking like regular fish. The two species are apparently unrelated, as a mermaid happily eats a juvenile merman in a side-chapter. Our Orcs Are Different: Orcs here are a Proud Warrior Race with porcine features. While their unsavory reputation as savage raiders is both justified and not as clear-cut as it appears, they value courage, strength, and honesty and dislike cowardice. Senshi is on relatively good terms with the orcs, which in turn make them treat the party relatively well. They have different standards of beauty than other humanoid races; according to them, elves are hideous. Our Nymphs Are Different: Dryads are combinations of Plant People and actual plants. Their main bodies are plants, but their flowers are humanoid and can move around. They're also monosexual, as there are male and female flowers. Pollinated flowers later turn into pumpkin-like fruits with human faces on them. They seem to be largely mindless humanoid monsters and not a real race however. Oni: Called ogres in the western regions, these are a rare race native in the east, and are the largest and strongest race thus seen yet. They're extremely tall and muscular, and possess a pair of vertical horns. All Trolls Are Different: Trolls have so far only been seen in Imagine Spots, but it's confirmed that they do exist as a distinct demihuman race, and seem to resemble ugly, brutish humanoids. That said, an omake suggests they're actually a myth. Beast Man: Aside from the above mentioned kobolds, individuals known as "beastkin" exist who have their souls bound to an animal's by The Dark Arts, either turning them into half-animal chimeras permanently or allowing them to turn back and forth. Our Demons Are Different: In this case, they are Eldritch Abomination Emotion Eaters hailing from a dimension of infinite energy. They'll help grant one's innermost desires, but in actuality want to feed on their growing desires to gain power until they grow to literally apocalyptic strength. Our Goblins Are Different: Goblins have so far only been seen in Imagine Spots, but it's confirmed that they do exist as a distinct demihuman race, and seem to resemble ugly, brutish humanoids. Our Humans Are Different: The setting has a rather specific definition of "human". In the west, elves, dwarves, halflings, ogres/oni, and gnomes all fall under the umbrella of human alongside standard humans, which are referred to as tallmen (because they're taller on average than all of the other races, with the exception of ogres). The definition is based on the fact they all have 206 bones, while the other races, like goblins, orcs, and kobolds, fall under the broader definition of "demihuman", which do not have that number of bones. In the east, there is no such classification, since there are only really oni/ogres and humans/tallmen. |

When you extend it to non-equine races, you also have Dragons, Griffons, Diamond Dogs, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Gargoyles, Buffalo, Yaks, at least three sapient farm animals (two of which are taken care of by Applejack's family for some reason), Humans, Sea Serpents, Draconequii, Ahuizotls, Sirens, and all manner of anthropomorphic creatures a-la Catrina. If you dip into the books and comics, you add to the bundle Seaponies and Merponies, Trolls, Giant Spiders, Demons of varying sorts, Moonbeasts, and a plethora of intelligent underwater denizens. | |

The world of The Dagger and the Coin was once ruled by intelligent dragons, who reshaped their human slaves into a wide variety of forms, some of which resemble "standard" fantasy races and some of which... don't. In addition to the Firstbloods (baseline humans), the Cinnae (pale, ethereal, intellectual, and rather snooty, filling the "elf niche") and the Yemmu (big, burly, and tusked, essentially big orcs or small ogres), we have the canine Tralgu, otter-like Kurtadam, aquatic Drowned, glowing-eyed Dartinae, arctic Haaverkin, reptilian Jasuru and Timzinae, eusocial Southlings, and the rarely-seen Raushadam and Haunadam. | |

Touhou not only has tons of characters but tons of races as well, with at least one representative from any youkai ZUN wants to add. The first Windows era game only contains humans, vampires, fairies, a Mage Species, and what is heavily suspected to be a Chinese dragon. However, other games introduce animals-turned-youkai, humans-turned-youkai, ghosts, demons, celestials, gods, Lunarians, a shinigami, kappa, tengu, and whatever the hell Yukari is, and the list goes on. | |

In The Gamer's Alliance: Several fleshed-out races exist in the world: Humans. The most populous race in the world, they have many societies ranging from nomadic horse lords to sophisticated magocracies. Elves. Graceful people who often live in forests but can just as easily be seen in cities as well. They have great knowledge of nature and its remedies. Dwarves. Short and passionate people best known for their prodigious skills with the forge, many of them live under mountains although some have settled into human cities. Gods. The immortals who live in the High Plane, they follow their own agendas and scheme against one another while using the mortal races for their own ends. Faerfolc. Mysterious protectors of the forests, they and elves have a connection. They possess fey magick which can be beneficial or dangerous to anyone who comes across them depending on circumstances. Dragons. Massive creatures who can fly and breathe fire and decimate armies. They've chosen not to interfere in mortal affairs, however, and merely observe events from their home mountains nicknamed the Roost. Demons. Winged beings who originate from the Demon Realm and who have recently begun settling into the Land of the Living. They can shapeshift into many forms and are rather chaotic, seeing other races than themselves as lesser beings. Lefein. Look deceptively like humans yet live for thousands of years. They're collectors of wisdom and are at home with various machines which they keep inventing. Nymphs. A curious all-female race which lives deep in the forests. They often end up having sexual encounters with travellers which is why rangers call a nymph their fondest conquest. Under their gentle and curious exterior is something far more troubled, however. Itica. Humanoid cat people who live a wandering lifestyle although other races rarely see them due to their preference to stay out of people's businesses. They have sharp senses. Kitsune. Shapeshifting magical foxes who are often confused for demons. Guardians of lost knowledge and bardic songs, they're a musical and mischievous race who can just as easily be benevolent or malevolent depending on the circumstances. Sirithai. Desert-dwelling lizardfolk who are ruthless but Trolls. Hairy and seemingly dumb creatures although they are good at operating machinery of various kinds. They have invented a pastime referred to as trolling which includes having jokes on other people's expense. Merrows. Merpeople who govern the oceans. Pixies. Tiny winged humanoids who can channel magic more easily than other races. Undead. Unnatural beings whose souls haven't settled into the Land of the Dead for various reasons and who thus exist between life and death. Several variants exist such as zombies, ghosts, liches, revenants. |

The Legatum series only has three stories so far, but there have been at least fifteen different races seen throughout the series, and it's likely this number will increase in future stories. | |

Mass Effect: Andromeda continues the tradition by adding two new major races (the kett and the angarans), mentioning many more (the Archon says that the kett conquered over a thousand other species, named ones including the eealen, thusali, and sirinde) and allowing at least one of them in multiplayer. The single player protagonist is still always human. | |

Books of the Raksura: There are dozens of intelligent species in every environment of the land, sea, and sky, the "Three Worlds" the setting is named after. They range from unusually-coloured humanoids to floating masses of vegetation, with just as much variation in lifestyles and societies. Interspecies relations range from cohabitation to predation, but the protagonist takes the view that people are intrinsically people, no matter what. | |

Kingdom Hearts not only has all the races from various Disney worlds, but also the Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and Dream Eaters, though whether they count is a matter of contention. | |

In Babylon 5 the Milky Way has a large number of (usually humanoid) races — the major players near the Babylon 5 station are Minbari, Centauri, Narn, and Humans, plus the two Precursor races, but then there's the League of Non-aligned Worlds, a collection of at least a dozen minor powers, including the Drazi, Markab, Vree, and Pak'ma'ra. And then there're other species that only turn up once or twice like the Dilgar, the Streib, and the Soul Hunters. The Babylon Project wiki lists 77 known intelligent species, and is missing at least 2 more. | |
