I am trying to accumulate a list of the best looking races from video games. For more info, I don' want a list of races of walking mountains and strange creatures, keep it mundane, I want things like Khajiit and Lalafell, not The titans and the old gods.

The Lalafel are the reason why Japan is the land of the creeps. FFXIV is embarrassing with its characters design.

@Black_Knight_00: I find the Lalafell kinda creepy, but your generalization of the Japanese is just stupid.

TC: I like the Turians and Asari from Mass Effect, and the Qunari from Dragon Age.

That kind of childlike design is very common in japanese media.

That's what I like about Lalafell! I can't stand playing human-like races in most games, why? Because whether you play elves, humans or whatever, their over-masculine overly hansom things that I can't stand playing. I don't want to play a model thats basically female fan-service. This is why I like games with an anime style, they don't tend to do that. Another reason is that humans bore me in the fantasy world. If I'm in a world with dragons and wizards, I don't want to be that boring farmer guy, I want to be a cat-person or some strange lizard man, or a gnome or a dwarf, and Lalafell scream everything I like in a fantasy race. Cute, knee high, and heroic. On my personal list of tip favorites, here are some.

1: Dwarves

2: Lallafell

3: Khajiit

4: Argonians

5: Gibberlings http://allods.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gibberlings

6: Mascu http://bless-source.com/races/ (This one is a new addition)

7: Zumi from Eden Eternal

8: The frog people from Eden Eternal

9: Muris from Lime Odyssey.

10: And the Firran from Archeage

That's cool, if you like fantasy races it's great, but I have seen the character creation in FFXIV, where the characters are all in their underwear, and the Lalafel are just creepy something out of this world. People can come and tell me they are hobbits and all that crap, but let's face it: they're children, and not even those "middle of the road"-age uncertain kind of young looking anime character: these are toddlers. in their underwear, in a menu that every FFXIV player must go through. Pardon me for been creeped out at the implications, that's all.

How about the Modrons?

Those guys were pretty awesome, and I'm disappointed that Torment was the only game that featured them.

@Black_Knight_00: It is, but it's usually done much better than the Lalafell. The Kokiri, for example, are much better than that.

Never actually played Torment myself, this is the first I've heard of it. The Modrons seem cool, not too into them myself, but I do like the idea of a technological race.

Does anybody like anything from Korean/Asian based MMORPG's?
