Stag Men
These noble woodland warriors guard sacred and hidden places from men and often meet with druids in secret. Some even learn druidry in their older years as war loses interest to them. In spring they meet to dual and roam the woods looking for a fight.
Their are smaller staglings who are red and spotty and prefer bows with poison arrows. The standard stagmen are brown going grey in winter. Their are bigger breeds and some adapted to winter. Some are the size of minotaurs or ogres. They will frequently interact with faerie and sylvan beings and will freely mingle with mixed groups. Some even wear human clothing. They regard themselves as lords of the wood and have a sense of benevolent ownership of other forest folk. They often come to battle civilized humans who intrude. They think anyone with a axe is a potential enemy. they are pretty suspicious of dwarves and hate orcs.
Some humans include stagmen in their seasonal rituals and dances but this happens less often now days with the new faith. While not as anti human as some beastmen they dislike humans entering the woodlands. They maintain good terms with elves and will cooperate with them. They don't like goblinoids however and even prefer humans to goblins. As many of the old races have been returning these last few years some stagmen have been visiting human barbarians more and helping humans recover lost druidic lore. They like having their backs to elf kind but some have decided to reach out to human kind and support those of the old ways. Of course the ecclesiarchy does not approve of backward beast men teaching heathers old magic. Some paladins have begun to announce a crusade. Of course other chaos beastmen who are a threat like to blame stag men.

Owl Men
These fearsome night hunters rule the night in the woods. Many attribute magical powers to them some are good and wise and some are evil and mean but both types are fearsome. Some have learned witchcraft or druidry or priest magic and some places they even learn wizardry. Some are witches or shaman or even alchemists. Some are necromancers who have turned victims into undead to make forests haunted. Most are knowledgeable in spirits and magic of the woodlands and advise other beings who seek them out. They know quite a bit about humans and often spy on them in secret from rooftops or attics. Owlmen strike by silent ambush and often tear apart their victims on the spot. The evil ones are the most malicious and might taunt victims by speaking their names and parts of private conversations they might have recently had. The good ones mostly hunt the wicked especially those who try to use the woods as shelter. Some owlmen are more into esoteric knowledge and less in worldly conflicts. Owl men keep civilised tree houses and like books. Some live communally to establish libraries where they teach select humans. Some are lone killers who live in old abandoned barns or ruined windmills and haunt lonely trails by night. Some follow their goddess of craft and wisdom and war and others follow a witch queen or the lady of the underworld.

Beaver Men
These ancient peoples are mostly concerned with managing wetlands and will domesticate normal beavers and giant beavers like dogs. They help maintain the ecological balance and help form wetlands that attract other animals. They are sociable and can squeak adorable noises when young. Living in tight nit families they are industrial and devoutly lawful good. They often surround dams in walls and spike filled pits and have secret entrances. A smaller breed of beaverlings also exists. As they are good at many crafts they often trade from great lodge houses. They may learn many kinds of magic but making wood golens is often high priorities. Druidic beavers plant trees also to keep peace with tree peoples and elves and provide rich irrigation systems that might seem natural on first glimpse. Basic wood golems are turnip and pumpkin headed stick men but the greater ones are huge totem pole tree trunks humanoids. Many evil races like wolf men hate beaver folk even if they profit from their land management.

These wise old men of the forests come in various colours and sizes from small black bears, to pandas, to grizzly, polar and cave bears. Bearfolk are roam all kinds of wilderness. Some are quite friendly but plenty hate humans from bad experiences or just feel competitive to any medium size animal including humans. Those bears will hunt humans on their land and carry ancient grudges. Many druidic and shaman cults revere bears who might learn either type of magic. Some bear folk follow evil forest cults mostly to get revenge on human kind for stealing ancient bear land. Some human tribes include bearfolk in rituals even welcoming and feeding them as part of ancient pacts. Not all bears stay in the forest some gather together and visit civilization in numbers. This can be worrying for the humans as bears don't initially understand money and such when arriving. Some assimilate and become mercenaries of become high value guards. Bears eat most human food but enjoy deer, berries, nuts and honey most. They especially love mead. One group of bears formed a brotherhood of bears to act as their own mercenary guild and to help bears assimilate.

Grasshopper Men
Grasshopper folk are fairly pleasant and related to cricket folk and locust folk. Crickets are cheerful, musical and enjoy lazing in the sun drinking and playing music. Many become bards. They have very strong flight reflexes to run but will fight to defend their homes, crops or kin. Besides bards they make good druids and learn any type of magic. Many are nomadic and will join travellers others more stay at home farmer types. They are good at cooking, baking and wine making which s handy because they like to eat and drink. They are able craftsmen too and make interesting carved artworks out of common every day tools. Some tattoo their chitten too. As they are friendly and many are wanderers you see traders and merchants among them. Some are a bit too lazy and cheeky and take up crime. They are not serious enough to be killers or wage war but they can be driven to it. Grasshopper colonies can spring up fast anywhere even places with very little. A generation can flood a area then fall back to being uncommon. Some humans worry about this. Grasshopperlings are smaller versions only a few foot tall. Crickets are more serious and live by night or the underworld. Locusts are warriors hordes who grow bigger from cannibalism and live to fight and eat.

Hedgehog Men
These doughy tunnel dwellers grow hedge mazes and live off fruit, bugs and grubs. Many in the city and country work as gardners. They also make good sewer workers, miners and other burrowing trades. They are friendly and a bit adorable which helps humans like them. They have only reputations as helpful and kind and are welcome forest folk. A few become wandering tinkerers or craftsmen or settle down as artisans. They will co habit with humans and even adopt various orphans and get along with cats and cat folk. Dogs they are not so fond of. They live in villages under hills with defencive earthworks, gardens and hedges. Hedgehoglings are a smaller breed who happily live in halflings or gnomes or dwarves. Giant and ogre sizes exist too. Some travel in tiny pony waggons as nomads. They are not as sweet and demure as people think and will fight and even wage war.

Boar Men
These iesty forrest warriors live for honour and courage in battle. Many are berserker warriors the the tribal horde hope to die in battle where the will be guests at the feast of the gods. When not fighting they are drinking or love making or guarding their large families. Living in close knit communities under warrior chieftains many of their holy folk are drugs or chaos priests. Druids and chaos tribes fight constantly and many join foreign armies to see the world and to fight. They are modest farmers and craftsmen who shun iron in favour of bronze. They often build wooden forts on hill tops and some ride chariots or ride giant boars. When domesticated too much thew become domesticated and lose hair and become common pigmen. Too much soft town living and dealing with humans is to blame but they do think of other swine folk more highly than they do other beast folk or humans.

Hare Men
These are often mistaken for rabbitmen. Except they tend to be loners or live in mated pairs with children and are more likely to use magic especially witchcraft. They are less interested in burrowing and like buds on branches and vines best. Hare and rabbit men hate each other and hares are violently abusive to rabbit folk. When hares see enemies approach their homes they will dance about wildly to lure enemies away. Hare folk often consort with witches and wise women and cults. They dance at the great witch sabbats and the witches use hare familiars to talk to hare folk. Hare warlocks often enjoy persecuting human villagers and take human witches as lovers. Hare women often meet in covens. Not all hares are evil brutes some use their cunning to trick mutual enemies like fox men or wolves or bears. The worship less hostile gods like the moon gods. While hares do enjoy beating and hexing humans it is rare for them to murder humans unless humans endanger them. They might kidnap humans to raise as servants and as hostages.

Squirrel MenThese rascal forest folk can be charming, cheeky and cunning. They come in several tribes red, grey brown and black who mostly hate each other. There are even gliding suirrels and arctic ones. Squirrelings are a smaller variety but more shy as the larger ones kill them. Squirrels in many cases are fun loving and curious and intelligent as they seem. Some are diabolic and evil minions of the night and serve as spies and messengers for evil. Squirrels wage genocidal war against each other and their tales of squirrel knights and heroes of the great squirrel houses are epic. Each of their tribes has great kings or chieftains depending on how civilised they are. Squirrel politics moves too fast for most other races who cant keep up. Many squirrels are rustic forest folk or live as barbarians but some squirrel kingdoms have developed a refined civilization with ruff collars, printing presses, pistols and cannons which they use with great joy. There is always one evil squirrel clan that uses necromancy or plagues or mutations. Squirrels will use any magic, they have a gift for it. Many are bards also.

Hawk Men These serious territorial birdmen who serve the lords of air. Most are good or neutral only some tribes are bad but loners can vary. They live in woods and mountains and prey off other lesser animals. They vary in plumage from tribe to habitat. As warriors with a purpose the adhere strictly to codes of honour and combat. They can be barbarians or civilised and often settled long ago to act as guardian warriors in a ancient war most races don't even remember. Sometimes they conflict with humans but some work with humans. With no purpose of their own they will earnestly take up working with rangers or law. They dismiss the flashy sun worshiping falcon men and lofty eagles. Many live alone in hard to each places hard to climb. Only their greatest heroes attain full flight and that is a mark of greatness to their kind. Hawks are smart enough for magic and prefer priest or druid magic.

Toad MenToadmen are much maligned and often confused with chaos frogmen. Usually they prefer to live in burrow complex and are a bit less aquatic than frogs preferring mining or sewer work.Toads can be amiable, reliable and hard working. Some are spiteful, lazy and domineering. Toadmen come in many different colors and shapes and textures. They can see immediate differences from sight other races cant. Toadlings are a diminutive breed who stay at home in their burrows mostly. They are very smart and gifted at any magic. Many toad villages live peacefully and toad tradesmen and labourers work with respect in human lands. Toads like to grumble but are quite stoic. Some evil toad loners into magic cause trouble and this hurts the reputation of all toadmen. While there are terrible toad kings and various despots plus middle class guildsmen and shop keepers, most are working folk. Quite a few nobles go insane and fall prey to chaos and ordinary toadfolk wont have a bar of it. The toad ruling class is in terrible decline due to lunacy and eccentricity. Toads can get a bit of wanderlust and some travel by waggon or boat.

Pidgeon MenThese fellows adapt well to human life and are well liked as romantic sweethearts and charming. In the country they are quite nice but in the city something happens and they are known to be thuggish gangsters. They do tend to live in ghettos but affluent ones do well to. They are highly social and good talkers. Pigeonlings are a smaller breed who get abused by their bigger kin. Pigeons follow the pecking order of life and accept their lot once defeated. Some think they make good slaves. Many pigeons keep fighting and keep being competitive. Rural pigeons are less flashy and competitive and more humble. Many lowlife city pigeon thugs like to fight especially over sex or drugs or booze. Many keep concealed weapons. They are also fairly vain and dress up in flashy clothes and groom themselves. Some sing and dance instead of fight which can be a surprise when a gang confronts you. They prefer to give good beatings that dont kill. Killing is rude and gets them really mad. For competent, tough and adaptable race many find it unbelievable so many in the city are layabouts who all dream of gold plated chains, chariots silver knuckledusters. Pigeons often hustle tourists in a big city but some of them actually are comptant guides with connections. They are not especially magic but there are some pigeon magicians its just most are fighters or thieves or bards
