Favorite Fantasy Race/Creature

[Khaled]

Warcraft 3's Forest Trolls.
Badass.

I'm very surprised

Tauren - Warcraft equivalent of Native-Americans. Strong, Wise, Spiritual, and Protectors of the Land. PLUS, they are minotaurs, and minotaurs, as someone said earlier, are sexy [the males, not the females!].
Draenei - A race that looks evil, but is trying to be good. Kinda of a redemption theme going on, but with magic. PLUS, they too have a sort of minotaur theme going on [and their females ARE sexy, males not so much].
Worgen - Need I explain?!
Scyther - LoL
Satyr - Warcraft version, but mixed with classic. IE Like to party, and like to kill.

 

[Tleno]

I think a more fitting word for Tauren would be badass...

 

[Disasterpiece512]

The Elves from Dragon Age. Most original portrayal of elves I have ever met.

But my favorite creature has to be the Chernovy Wizard from Quest for Glory IV. Ah, I can still remember the sheer terror I felt when I encountered them at night in the Mordavian Forest, 8 or 9 years ago when I was playing QfG4.

 

[Wilddwarf]

Elves, when they're done well.

 

[ultra.x]

All kinds of demons !

 

[Cobra-Wolf-Demo]

Let's see...

Faeries, obviously. Especially if they are in a Steampunk 'verse. Imagine evil, aristocratic elves ruling over hordes of stinking, uneducated goblins, trolls, ogres, hobgoblins and pixies... Yeah, I do like Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.

Mine are Dwarves - first of all their architecture is epic, they're awesome and they remind me of home and the people where i live at in Silesia. It's the biggest industrial area in Poland and people here are of a hardworking, cheerful kind. I mean we even have a holiday in honor to the miners, how much does that remind you of dwarves .
Also i love wow trolls, they're just fun mon .

 

[harmjanz]

Drow:dark elves are a generally evil, dark-skinned subrace of elves
the best of the best... agile, smart, and very evil

or....



VOGONS !!!! YEAH!!!!

 

[Christers]

Dwarves. No-nonsense industrious midgets deep in the mountain with a liability to dig to deep? Awesome.

Orcs/Orks. In most incarnations, although the warhammer 40.000 is the best, followed by warhammer fantasy. Arcanum orcs/half-orcs (All of whom are factory workers) as well, since you can lead them in a revolution against the Gnomes (capitalists). Pretty much the most surprising turn of events I've yet to see in a game.

 

[Grimdour]

Would the 40k Chaos beings count as a race? If so, them. I just love me some eldricht abominations. A close second would be the Orcs of Warcraft; instead of the brute, half-brained, green/grey monsters they're usually portrayed in, they're an actual race to rival the humans. Orcs are basically a second-world civilization compared to the Human's first-world; technology from the latter using the primitive resources from their surroundings.

40k's Orks deserve an honorary mention: because we always need more dakka.

 

[harmjanz]

totally agree 40k chaos are totally epic ^^

 

[Wimbo125]

For me it would be Vampires, just because of the song by Godsmack and because of Hellsing

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Nifty necropost, that.

I'm somewhat divided, so it'd have to be a combination of several so-called fantasy races. I love the lean, generic look of vampires and (dark) elves. I also love the sturdy, and long-bearded dwarves. Moreover, I like fallen angels/demons with wings because, well, I do. I like hobbits because of The Shire. I like mermaids because they're naked. But, most importantly, I like everything new that there is no abundance of already. As such, I don't have a favourite.

 

[Amargaard]

My favourite race would be the greenskin races from Warhammer universe or the dwarves in general, but every race can be cool ^^

 

[Elite Slayer]

Call me narrow-minded, but dragons and gryphons would win hands-down for me. Dinosaurs, such as those in Dinotopia, are also quite cool, in my opinion. I seem to prefer fantasy beasts over fantasy humanoids.
