I know most of them are in the Monster Manuals, one or two are in Draconomicon and Dragon Magic, one is in the Psionic handbooks...that's all I've got. I can try to be more specific if you like, but Monster Manuals is the way to go mainly.

[Mithril Leaf]

Pterrafolk are in Dark Sun 3, available free on athas.org.

[Kelb_Panthera]

I'll fill in what I can from memory.
Dungeons & Dragons
Aarakocra - bird people. Races of faerun.
Abeils - bee people. MM2
Asabis - lizard people.
Bullywugs - frog people.
Catfolk - cat people Races of the Wild and The Minis Handbook
Crabmen - crab people. I'm guessing this is supposed to be cruthix? Minis Handbook and sandstorm
Desmodus - bat people. MM2
Dragonborn - dragon people. (template) Races of the Dragon
Equicephs - horse people. Minis Handbook
Firenewts - lizard people again.
Formians - ant people. MM1 and Fiend Folio
Giff - hippopotamus people.
Gnolls - hyena people. MM1 and Races of the Wild
Goatfolk (Ibixians) - goat people.
Gripplis - frog people again, but this time tree frog.
Hadozees - ape people. Stormwrack
Hurgeons - hedgehog people.
Kercpa - squirrel people.
Kenku - another bird people, with looks of a hawk and attitude of a magpie. Oriental Adventures has the Tengu which is the renamed version of Kenku from japanese legend.
Lizardfolk - lizard people again. MM1
Locathah - fish people. MM1
Loxos - elephant people. MM2 and I think Book of Exalted Deeds oddly enough.
Minotaurs - bull people. MM1
Nycters - bat people again.
Psurlons - earthworm people. XPH and Lords of Madness.
Pterafolk - pteranodon people. I wanna say Races of Faerun again.
Rakshasas - tiger people. MM1
Sahuagin - shark people. MM1
Saurials - dinosaur people.
Sivs - frog people again.
Tabaxis - leopard people.
Thri-kreen - praying mantis people. MM2 and XPH.
Urskans - bear people. Frostburn.
Wemics - lion people. Races of Faerun.
Yak Folk - yak people. MM2

That's all I can dredge up from memory, but I'm not 100% certain about Urskans or Loxos. I'm equally uncertain about Kenku though I know I was right about Tengu.

[Kuulvheysoon]

The most recent stats for Asasbis, Pterafolk and Fire Newts are presented at the back of Serpent Kingdoms.

There`s a Kenku race in MM3, but they`ve the look of crows, not hawks.

Nycters are in the MM3, as are the Ibixians.

Which would explain my not knowing those. I don't have either of those books. :smalltongue:

You don't have the MM3? It's definitely one of the better ones.

Here you go

[The Redwolf]

Here you go

I'm sorry, but I just saw your name and the fact that you don't in fact have a Venusaur avatar makes me sad. I know, you should go get an OOTS style one, that would be like the coolest Venusaur ever! (Sorry for being off topic)

[Kelb_Panthera]

It's on the list. The problem stems from the fact that the list is still as long as my arm. :smalltongue:

[Venusaur]

Thanks. I didn't know gnolls were also in RotW, and I always get the dragon books mixed up. The web enhancement is the same as the dragon magazine content, though.

No problem - some of us clearly have lives and don't have the time to memorize books.:smallbiggrin:

While it's likely the same, the fact that Saurial stats are published by WotC, even as a web enhancement, lends them a certain credibility that Dragon articles tend to lack.

[Doomboy911]

Anyone know of the stats on the gripplis?

[Kuulvheysoon]

Anyone know of the stats on the gripplis?

Venusaur answered your question - Dragon Magazine, Issue 324.

[Doomboy911]

Yeah but I can't find it anywhere so I'm looking more for the stats themself.

[Urpriest]

Yeah but I can't find it anywhere so I'm looking more for the stats themself.

I have the impression that posting the full racial stats would be something of a no-no. IIRC they have halfling ability modifiers.

[Doomboy911]

Ah well do they have any racial abilities. Like a tongue attack?

[Zombimode]

Rakshasas - tiger people.

Minor nitpick: Rakshasa (its already plural) aren't really "tiger people". They are manifestations of bad dreams that take the shape of humanoid/animal hybrids, usually with "disturbing" features (ie. inverted palms). While they are often depicted with feline features (but not even necessary tiger-like), it is not necessary. There also isn't really much tiger-likeness going on for them, besides being predators.


I think its just in Eberon where they are more like an actual physical race instead of weird spirit-thingies.

[Urpriest]

Nope. I think they have something camoflage-like, and some weak psionics.

Actually you've got it backwards. In normal D&D they're Outsider(Native) and are pretty much only tiger-shaped except for the one from ToB. It's in Eberron where they're powerful spiritual beings with an important metaphysical role and (via the various Rajahs) lots of different forms. Eberron is much closer to the classical mythological view.

That said, yeah, calling Rakshasa Tiger People is sort of like calling Tieflings Cow People.

Ah, my bad then. They were like I described in AD&D, but apparently got changed for 3e and then changed back again for Eberon, and I got the two later instances mixed up.
