Thanks to supplements like Sandstorm and the later Monster Manuals there is an overabundance of sentient races that live in deserts, in addition to a plethora of non-sentient species. However, being in a desert doesn't rule out other races wandering by (the thri-kreen appeared to be riding ankhegs, a monster from the first monster manual that are native to warm plains, like the thri-kreen themselves). As a result, there are dozens of as yet unseen species that could appear in the current story arc.
Why one would you like to see appear and why? Please include possible link to the plot.
Personally, I think that the thri-kreen are an excellent choice to start out with, being a distinctive humanoid race with occasional psionic abilities and the implication that they are going to some hidden plain (slightly less arid area) hidden in the desert. If no such source of water were around, the thri-kreen would act like the Fremen of Dune and kill the travelers for their water.
