I love goblins and lizardmen. Goblins because deranged little dudes running around is always a blast. Lizardmen because alligator people with melee weapons are the way I wish dinosaurs evolved instead of being birds.

    Does Star Trek count as fantasy? If so, The Borg.

    Also the Dreugh, from the Elder Scrolls, are an odd one. That’s a more typical fantasy world.

    1. It scared the crap out of little kid me the first time I ran into one in Morrowind.
    2. The lore is that they used to have human intelligence, and even had the largest civilization in the world at one point, but then somehow regressed into beast-like creatures. Which makes them extra mysterious.

      Sure. I’m easy going when asking questions here and I’m pretty sure if I discriminate against Star Trek I’ll get thrown out of Lemmy.

        Sokath, his eyes uncovered.

        I don’t think my favorite “fantasy monster race” is the Tamarians – especially since they’re sci-fi non-monsters – but they’re on up there because of the interesting language. I’m pretty sure it’d be something from Star Trek given that there are so many possibilities ranging from Horta to space jellyfish to Q, but I can’t decide what tops the list.
