Not Your Usual Fantasy Lineup. Better description pending; details available on request. If you thread here you automatically get the grammar cheatsheet for the different species names and also I apologize in advance.

Sapient species:
1. Tmal, aka mothfolk
2. Ssee, aka nagas
3. Gaan, aka dryads
4. Mezirom, aka bear shapeshifters
5. Agade, aka tardigrade dwarves
6. kelpies, which are actually just shapeshifting water-dwelling big cats who have been slandered
7, 8, 9: shadowfolk, foxes, and arguably myrmidons, none of which have any useful name for themselves

Elves for you? No! Humans for you? NO!
