A Furry situation.
My GF is brewing up her first campaign, and is making a mercenary group of NPCs. This group is entirely made of anthro animals. We have catfolk, aradan(mice), and kuo-toa(fish). we are having trouble finding a race for dogs, rabbits, and frogs. Trying to avoid the savage species solution. any help would be appreciated.
edit: we considered hound archon, but too much LA+HD

Re: A Furry situation.
Marruspawn (Sandstorm) are some of my favorite dog-like races, the marrulurk especially is a tiny jackal man.
Lupin (Dragon Compendium) are another dog-like race.
Bullywugs (Monsters of Faerun) are the classic frog men race, but they might not be froggy enough for you.
Rabbits are the most difficult, since there aren't many rabbit-like races in D&D 3.5. What kind of thing were you hoping for? Cowardice? Speed? Jumping ability?

Re: A Furry situation.
Rabbits aren't particularly cowardly, but the aesthetic matters most

Re: A Furry situation.
Refluffing (heh) is always an option. So take a marrulurk and say it's a rabbit assassin race.
Kobolds are like lizard/dog/humanoid crossbreeds. And grippli (Dragon #324) are brightly colored poison tree frog-men, just as neraphs are toad-man outsiders.Last edited by MaxiDuRaritry; 2022-01-02 at 04:01 PM.

Re: A Furry situation.
Gnolls are hyena people, so that covers canine.
Edit: Also, I've always seen kuo-toa as more frog-people based on their picture in the monster manual and their sticky skin, wheras Sahuagin are more fish people due to having fins all over their body. There's also the Bullywug as a frog-like race too.Last edited by Crake; 2022-01-02 at 03:45 PM.

Re: A Furry situation.
Grippli (dragon magazine #324) are a possible choice for frog folk.

Re: A Furry situation.
Hare hengeyokai from Oriental Adventures, in their hybrid form, might be your only non homebrew/refluffed option for a rabbit race.

Re: A Furry situation.
Over on the Pathfinder 1e side, Grippli is fully written up as a PC-worthy species. They're brightly colored treefrog people, smaller than halflings and gnomes, so they may or may not serve the role your DM has in mind for in her merc group.
But since your GM is making a tightly focused NPC group rather than trying to worldbuild whole societies (for now, at least), I would focus less on the races as a whole and more on designing memorable individuals. What would be cool signature moves for surprises for that rabbitfolk assassin to be able to pull, and how would their personality play with or against the players' expectation of rabbits? If the players find these NPCs fun and engaging, then the GM can start to think about questions like "Is that crazy standing high jump trick specific to Conie, or can all her people do that?"Last edited by mucat; 2022-01-02 at 08:35 PM.

Re: A Furry situation.
But hyenas are more closely related to felines than canids so [etc.]
Monsters of Faerun also featured the Siv, a separate humanoid froglike race.
Web enhancement wise, there's the O'bati.
If you want to get crazier there's always the Mud Slaad from Fiend Folio (maybe take away the summon and make them MH instead of Outsider).Kolyarut Avatar by Potatocubed.

Re: A Furry situation.
Cheating a bit, but there's always Shifters (several Eberron books, MMV), aka the Weretouched. Mostly humanoid by default, they become more animalistic a couple of times per day, complete with stat boosts and a natural weapon or movement option depending on what type of Lycanthrope (or in some cases other voluntary shapeshifter like Druid) they're descended from.
The real advantage, though, is that they've got a lot of support compared to most of the other furry races. Too many feats to name here (anything with the [Shifter] tag also increases the uses/day and duration of your shifting), cool alternate class features (for Druid, Ranger, and Wilder), and prestige classes exclusive to shifters (Moonspeaker, Weretouched Master) or playing off being a Shifter (Bloodclaw Master, Warshaper). There's actually a whole handbook for it.
So while in theory you might be less animalistic than other races, you'd be able to lean into it mechanically a lot better.Last edited by PoeticallyPsyco; 2022-01-04 at 03:20 AM.

Re: A Furry situation.
Neraphim (PlH) are pretty froggy.

Re: A Furry situation.
Another option for dogs/wolves are PF's Rougarou. You can also do Skinwalkers and play up the animal features since they can stay in hybrid form indefinitely, which gives you a ton more options (bats, crocodiles, boars etc.)
For rabbits, you can convert 5e's Harengon back to 3.5/PF without too much trouble.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: A Furry situation.
Anthro animals in 3.5e and PF that you can generally get to a balanced LA+0 3.5 type power level with only minor tweaking:
Grippli
Hadozee
Kenku (including PF Tengu)
Lupin
Faun
Nezumi (Including PF Ratfolk)
Phanaton
Raptoran
Tibbit
Tortle
Vanara
Hengeyokai (including PF Kitsune, also check the PF Hengeyokai writeup for options that look more animalistic in normal form)
Catfolk

Re: A Furry situation.
Look up some Tibbit fanart sometime. Much of it flavors their bipedal form as the catfolk version of halflings. The look of the humanoid form isn't clearly defined in the source material...
Aside from someone's blue cat-rabbit fursona named Tibbit I mean. The actual d&d inspired stuff. It ranges from vaguely feline facial features halflings to nekomimi type halflings to catfolk anthro halflings.

Re: A Furry situation.
Wildren from Planar Handbook are badger-dwarves with a +1 LA. It's a shame that Goatfolk have 3 RHD, otherwise they'd be decent enough for a +1 LA race. I'm not even certain why they have the hd, their abilities don't seem strong for +1 LA by itself.
For a "kinda-furry" race, see Darfellan, which are basically walking Orca Whales.Characters I've enjoyed playing for more than four sessions:

Revain Sumeth, Whip Fighter Extraordinaire

Re: A Furry situation.
Now I'm curious, does 3.5 have a mole-person race?

Re: A Furry situation.
AFAIK, the only mole-anything in the 3.X are Brain Mole and Urdlen
Monsters of Faerûn have Groundlings, but they're more "badgers" (or "groundhogs") than "moles"

Re: A Furry situation.
The closest to a mole-person I know of is the Armand, but they're more like an armadillo/mole mix (at least in appearance). Mechanically, they're almost certainly armadillos (it's kinda hard to tell with that art tbh).
P.S. 3.5, and PF to a greater extent, isn't really helpful towards people that want to play furry herbivorous races. Pathfinder's especially bad in that way, with all of their furry races being omnivorous or carnivorous, tending towards the latter. 3.5 at least had herbivorous hengeyokai options in addition to their multitude of monstrous race options.Last edited by Wildstag; 2022-01-07 at 12:45 PM.

Re: A Furry situation.
Um ... I notice nobody's pointed out the obvious, that being: these are NPCs. Level Adjustment is only relevant for PCs. DMs only have to calculate off CR, if anything (and eyeball it on the four crucials of attack bonus, damage, AC, and special ability DCs). LA can be freely ignored.

Re: A Furry situation.
Anthropomorphic Baleen Whale, Savage Species pg #215. That said, most of the Anthropomorphic Animals (there's a big list!) in Savage Species are... very low effort in their stats, let's say. I wouldn't use it as anything other than a starting point.
