Bullmen
Also known as minotaurs but don't call them lesser minotaurs or cowmen. Come in varieties including shaggy red long hairs, gigantic black aurochmen, shaggy yakmen, mighty oxmen, grey humped, piebald, white, grey, brown and many other regional types. Not necessarily evil but they have waged war with humanity since the stone age and find humans lack of respect for their divinity disappointing. Some are vegetarian but many are flesh eaters just to horrify their enemies. They have a association with labyrinths and happily dwell in dungeon complexes to eat humanoids and find treasure. Many violent and unstable males are driven away from tribes and these are the ones mostly encountered and behave as monsters. Some tribes like Aurochs are 50:50 male female and all are equally aggressive and work together to destroy enemies or anything slightly a threat to their calves. Some lone males break this mould and join humans as bodyguards for kings, gladiators or cult champions. Ancient cults often employed them and even created them. Some even become labourers, sailors and more. Humans quite like to enslave them but controlling them unwillingly is hard work and their desires are fairly simple. Cows are less into adventure and more hedonistic enjoying caring for children and drinking beer but they make good nannies.

12 A crack team of battle cattle gladiators has escaped and killed everyone in their path. They led many human gladiators with them and have inhabited a old ruin. The law wants them killed but a few hope for a peaceful outcome and have sympathy for them

Lionmen
These proud ancient beastmen consider humans their inferiors. They dwell in tribes in many lands some with manes, some in various local colour schemes. Their women are just as dangerous and tend to use teamwork better when hunting inferior species. As lionmen prefer a harem and only tolerate a few male friends many lone lionmen leave for adventure and try new things. Many kings and cults employed them in the past. The smell and roar of lion men disturbs animals and people from a distance. they hunt by night or day and often eat their prey. Lionmen tribes often dominate a valley or a region as the apex predator but some loners like to hunt humans best. They tend to limit their numbers by the amount of prey and regulate breeding. Ones fallen to chaos and war against man have no such qualms. They raid and drink blood and eat gore spreading terror to make man remember who is the master. Lionfolk will track enemies for a long time and bear grudges furiously. They can be placated and compromised with with wealth and just a few deaths. Lionmen dislike magic but have some priests, shamen and druids.

Eaglemen
Eaglemen are apex predatory dwellers of the mountains with a noble lineage and service to cosmic law going back aeons. Proud, honourable and grumpy. Things enrage them and they attack. Some varieties are winged also, They grab troublemakers and drop them of precipices. They are sharp eyed hunters and can see the wicked committing a sin or impure deed from miles away. Humans mostly disgust them but some like paladins or champions of law might meet their approval. When they come from their lofty mountain aeries they cause all kinds of trouble judging the imperfect and killing everything not worthy of life. Many cults hold them sacred and even accept their judgements. They like to charge and make flying leaps. If they capture anyone they are quite happy to decapitate them and explode their rib cages and hang them high as a lesson for evil doers. Eaglemen priests and paladins are the main magicians, they are suspicious of other types.

Apemen
These clever dangerous beastmen use human level technology and dress some using muskets and ride horses. They generally dislike their naked human cousins. They hate being called monkeys and despise tails. They come in many tribes including orange furred tree dwelling wise orangmen, savage vegetarian warlord gorrillamen, the clever and curious chimpmen and other types like white furred yetimen or albino caveapemen. Some tribes combine several types and use them as a caste system utilizing their specialties. Apes are very moral and dont like to kill apes but humans are not included having betrayed their brothers long ago. Orangs prefer priests, yetis prefer shamans, chimps prefer wizards and gorillas despise magic living by the gun and sword. Occasionally a ape leader unites several tribes to wage war on humans and unleash hell. Humans do like apemen slaves and easily consider them second class. this of course has left apes with a even worse impression. Occasionally apes escape and teach their children that man is wicked. Apes in retaliation keep human slaves and have bred mute stupid men who sometimes escape and now steal ape crops. Apes also battle mutants and wizards who intrude their tribe lands and they despise above all humans.

Vulturemen
These were one of the monster ruling races of ancient times who replaced earlier races who degenerated and became weak. The vulture men gained their power from eating others and became powerful wizards and demon priests. Necromancy was their chosen art and they began to weigh themselves down with jewelled robes and dark enchantments. Dance is their chosen art form, with twisted sinuous jagged motions they perform their ancient rites. They once hoped to unmake the world through dance then devour the remains. It was their occult machinations that undid the monster empire and allowed man and the other races to rebell. After the age on man began it was the vulture secret mastery of death magic that spawned the age of necromancer kings Today they mostly hide in recluses hoping to survive unnoticed by all the races which hate them, A small amount have reformed and perform funerary rites where it is too cold to bury the dead and corpses do not rot. Here they ceremonially eat the dead in monastic rituals. Most are still utterly despicable and delusional that they still are a power in the world. the most crazed sit on their mountain thrones alone wondering where are their servants bringing feasts and sacrifices and exotic tributes and more bejewelled robes. Most vulturemen are wizard or priests but some degenerates are savage warriors. There are different breeds and even a breed of gore loving storkmen who live just like vulturemen.

Antmen
Antmen are ancient stock and were the foot soldiers of the great insect empire long ago befor other races plotted their downfall and began to eat them. Antlions, fungus, creatures that fooled and exploited the ants chemical responses to enslave them all added up to a decline in numbers. Even today if anyone sees even giant ants or antmen humans panic and seek to destroy them. Antmen in isolated places in their great nests fare better. Being too successful was turned against them and queens keep their expansions more modest. They certainly are not all evil but might be unconcerned about their effects on other life. Rumours they mine gold has not helped them either. Many kinds and specialties exist. Some grow fungus crops using plant material underground. Some spit venom, sting, leap, fly, keep slaves and many other abilities. Ants are not famous for magic but priest and druidry are the most common. Ants usually have warriors, workers and royal breeders. Most are matriarchal. Antfolk are effective at military activity and respected for it. Many act as mercenaries. They are effective tool users and traders which most dont expect. Most try to avoid humans but others hate them with fanaticism. The fanatics tend not to survive but make all antfolk look bad. It isn't the soldiers you should worry about. The workers rerouting a river through your town or undermining your fort so it falls in a sinkhole are a bigger problems. Ants can be dealt with but their alien nature makes this hard.

Molemen
This race go normally unnoticed by surface dwellers. Mostly they eat bugs and roots and farm fungus in peace. They are hideous and have huge claws which tends to make humans react badly. Many subterranean races use them as slaves for mining or farming mushrooms. They can only be pushed so far however and will revolt. They often tend to be loners when not slaves and will fight each other over territory. They are disliked by gardeners and farmers for damaging their fields but they do eat giant worms which can be a otherwise grow bigger and become a menace. their fur is prised but their flesh tastes vile. Their spittle paralyses the worms who they store in their burrows in large amounts. Molemen burrows may be crude but some are quite civilized with carpets, doors, furniture, stoves and other comforts they trade.  They make excellent miners and can work with farmers. Sometimes they burrow into dungeons and might even work together to occupy a section. Some moles are bitter and angry at past mistreatments and are full of hate. Others can be quite jolly and even share burrows with gnomes and dwarves. A smaller breed known as molelings also exist but are more meek.

Beetlemen
Beetlemen dwell in the darkness eating fungus, rotten wood and discarded carrion. The come in many tribes like rhino beetle, scissors beetle, bombardier beetle, tiger beetle, water beetles, wood beetle and mant many more. Mostly they are content to hide from people and live and breed and fight among their own kind. Some have horns, wings, chemical emitting glands, legs for jumping and other specializations for their type. In the past the insect faction of monster races were powerful and the beetlemen armies covered the earth. Their kind fell to intrigue of arachnids and bats and others who used them as slaves or food. Beetlemen often live in caves or woods or swamps outside of human lands but may be exhorted to attack man. Some types use magic and are quite civilized others are brutish barbarians. Some are careful tacticians others are aggressive flesh eaters with no restraint. Different tribes may work together to swarm and overwhelm human territory. United by the insect gods they seek mostly food but in the long term breeding and eating are their goals. Some build nests or burrows even under human settlements. They are more uncaring and hungry than evil. Some ride or use other giant bugs as farm animals or mounts.

Horsemen
While many think fondly of horses as workers or vehichles or war machines horsefolk do not. They are mostly nomadic with rich traditions of shamen story tellers. Humans are to them cruel overlords and taskmasters who enslaved them after the monster empire fell as a act of treachery. Horsefolk clans occasionally decide it is time to raid humans and liberate their dumb cousins from man kinds cruelty. Some horsefolk, especially the settled farmers use human slave labour. A few horse folk have proven friends to humans but trouble starts when they witness a normal horse being beaten or overworked or endangered. Horsemen especially like to belittle human genitalia as puny and weak. Horsefolk come in many colours not found in normal horses and many enjoy tattoos and alcohol. Most prefer divine and druid magic. A few in order to be more fearsome have bred with nightmares and serve lords of evil on earth and in the netherworld. A few horsemen live among humans often working as labourers. Without own kind many resort to drug abuse and depression, going on wild benders for days then feeling guilty for weeks.

Wolfmen
Wolfmen are hated and feared by humans and even many other beastmen, They are not all wicked and some are druids but they tend to be confused with werewolves. They do tend to be warlike and some are bloodthirsty maniacs who worship demons. Being driven to the fringes of extinction has left many bitter and willing to serve warlords. Some have been known to accept me as brothers and fight together. The men of the north in particular see them as equals and often accept them into their sea raiding war bands. Many are famous berserkers and some are priests of bestial and demon gods but some even learn sorcery or are warlocks. Wolfmen in fact tend to hate werewolves and think of them as inferior. The do enjoy the taste of elf or man flesh but thing dwarfs taste terrible. Halflings are sweet and fatty and a special treat. Wolfmen have made a return and have been seen more often but are not welcome in civilization. Deep in the wilderness wolf folk may be quite civilized working metal, wearing clothes and living like men. But these wolf folk are rarely seen

Centipedemen
These horrors served the great worm god in the dark times aeons past. They have long antenna, often poison fangs chitinous armour plate. They like exotic martial art and flail weapons and delight in eating whom they kill. They often live underground and in burrows. They often live in tight spaces crowded together and often live with giant versions of their centipede kin. Some are priests and sorcerers and others prefer to learn exotic skills and fighting styles. They are often distracted by food and often stop to snack on those they kill instead of chasing survivors. They have excellent teamwork, fighting in unison, as if each were a segment of a single giant centipede. Some are smarter and more disciplined and become the "head" of such formations. They dislike light and will seek darkness by choice. They can hunt by scent and ground vibrations alone in the darkness. Many chaos cults enjoy using them as warriors.

Crowmen
These cunning bird men have a bad reputation not always deserved. Some do serve evil gods, eat carrion and enjoy wicked deeds, others are merely mischievous. Crowmen are not into professional militarism but make excellent thieves, monks and magicians of all types. Their natural cunning and craftiness combined with their self discipline make them very crafty. People are suspicious of crows but don't hate them or wish them dead. Occasional crow tricksters have helped heroes and defeated monsters. Many crows served gods of darkness but most turned on them helping the tide turn on evil. In particular they helped finish of the minions of the worm god and his machinations. Crows enjoy abusing their enemies and are masters of slander. Crow bards have lampooned many important people and have a reputation for trouble making. Crow wizards and adventurers sometimes meddle with forbidden relics and things best left forgotten out of curiosity. Crow orders of warrior monks are quite serious in contrast and may teach martial arts to humans if they are worthy. Crows have even adopted human orphans but tend to teach them questionable life skills and magic. They do like shiny gewgaws and nicknacks and some are very tempted to borrow them without permission.
