At various times in our past, various players in our PF games have been an Endroth, a Cat-Man, a Lizard Mage, a Ramen, a Dragon Wolf, a Draakin, an Avian, a Ratling, and probably a couple others I'm not thinking of. Early on, especially, we were big on trying crazy stuff and new styles. What we never once did was have some boring old-school party of humans, elves, and dwarves, based on classic fantasy stereotypes. I hate those groups.

My current group consists of a Minotaur (which was on your list) and a Dragon Wolf, as well as an Ashada and a Daemonyc (that's one of my creations, been posted here). I'm the only one playing a standard race, human, but it's a Forsaken Mage, making it unique anyways!

One of the most unique characters I've ever had played in my groups was a Hytril. The guy named it Kiani and made her a thief. One of the funniest, most memorable characters I think I've ever had in game. I've since used her as an NPC since the guy was in my group in the Army and I've since lost touch with him. Max, if you're out there... Kiani lives!!

I was a Bug Bear once, I had a collar in town with some fake magical symbols on it and the Wizard in the group acted like my owner.

A kirn knifethrower.

We have a Minotaur (played by a player who refuses to ever play anything else lol), A human were wolf, an elf, a dwarf, and another elf who the player would like to play as a certain dark skinned elf from a popular comic series not to be mentioned lol and once my time as GM end I shall be starting as a Maledon. I like playing new things.

This new Maledon will be a Mind Mage who has no idea he has the psionic powers. He will only use them in a fit of rage during battle which he won't remember due to a black out during the rage lol. I think it will be a very fun character to play. A fairly strong fist fighting machine with a secret weapon that's only a secret to him lol

Minotaur.... and ill never go back to any of those soft skinned so called civilized races.

had a group consist entirely of Emerin once, each of the players come to that character on their own as well. Very interesting game that was.

elves
dwarves
wolfen (mainly wolfen)
hob goblins

Pl;ayed a Kinnie-Ger one time from 1st ed M&A (before they were listed under the Fairy Folk section) No OCC's were available to it, so I gave it a history as an escaped gaditorial slave from the Western Empire. Vicious little beastie

Not quite in my mind. Quillbacks take second place to Danzi, but not by much.

I consider the highlighted ones to be unconventional...

The only race not on your list that I have played was a lizardman. I made him a thief O.C.C. on the basis that due to racial prejudice in the lands of the humans he was unable to make a living for himself and was reduced to stealing. For some reason, as I played him the thievery just never felt right with that character, and so eventually I went straight, having managed to find employment on a ship, and changed my O.C.C. to sailor.

I played a Wolfen ranger once... also a female winged elf in an AD&D game... and my ex played a kobold wizard in a D&D3e game.

I had a Gigante Warlord, he was really fun to play, to bad the campaign never got finished.

Mutant Platypus Assassin

I have played a minotaur (favorite race) and a Grimbor.

I have a group with a Hytril thief, and an Emerin Mind Mage. Also have a group with a catman ranger. All three have been very entertaining.

Ratlings....i love ratlings, ive played them in rifts,pf,chaos earth, and may as well have been a ratling in tmnt/atb.
The only thing ive ever played that does not have "hands" was a flying turtle. He was fun, i played him as kinda lethargic with an eoer complex of ohhhhh well. Was great times.

I have really come to like simvan monster riders but I noticed their description, and if they use magic (not important to me on this point), are left out of both Lone Star and Mindworks.
