I'd play a murloc for the shits and giggles of it.

I suppose I feel a "furry" is just a reskinned human with their head swapped out for an animal. Whereas I feel like a "beastman" isn't just a reskinned human.
One of the things I really liked about FFXII was how the races didn't feel like reskinned humans, but felt like actual beastmen different from the humans. Bangaa and the Nu Mou weren't reskinned humans; they had completely different anatomy and posture. They really felt "different", rather than just being reskinned humans.
I also have to give praise to the Charr from GW2. They are lion-men, but rather than being humans with a lion head, they are hunched over and look very definitely like a lion-man. The thing that really sells them is that when they run, they run on all fours.
The Tauren's proportions and posture is what sold them to me as being beastmen that were very different from humans, rather than just being reskinned humans with cow heads.
Also want to give a shoutout to the Sovanis from The Last Remnant. They are four armed Lynx people, who can quad wield one handed weapons and dual wield two handed weapons. If only MMOs did more unusual things like that.
In a way, murloc was the first race I played. My first exposure to WoW was actually a flash game on Newgrounds (or somewhere else, maybe) where you played as a murloc doing stuff for the murloc village. Think it ended with your village killed by adventurers while you were gone or something.
Oh look. Grommloc. One of my favorite pets.
I'd also be down for Mantid, because they'd be a flying race and that'd be standout. Nerubians too.

Tol'vir would also be cool because they're a centaur race (well actually they are lion based but you get the idea). I think Crowfall is possibly the only RPG with a playable Centaur race, but last I checked that game wasn't really going anywhere.
Just really wish fantasy games did more races besides just reskinned humans.
What would a female Mantid look like? Female Praying Mantises are bigger, and bite off the heads of the males
I don't play WoW anymore smh.
Probs no Sethrak because the helmet business would be wack af.
Not going to lie, I read until page 6 and then just skipped the 10 following pages. Fuck all your fluff.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN A REAL DOCTOR CATTA. YOU CANT BECOME A DOCTOR BY BEING BAD AT CIV FOR 6 YEARS, THATS NOT HOW IT FUCKING WORKS.
