Looking for inspiration for a character for an rpg, a story, or whatever? The hardest part is picking what they are, as in their species. Here's a list of good ones with the average typical ones at the top and the most wild ones at the bottom. All of the fantasy races' stats can be found in various D&D books (Monster Manual 1&2, Dungeon Master's Guide, Oriental Adventures whatever) so if you're looking for stats, go check 'em out. Many libraries have them.
This is in no way the list of every race ever, just quite a damn few.
[shadow=red,left,300]The Big Character Species List[/shadow]

[glow=red,2,300]Fantasy[/glow]
Elf
--Wood elf
--High elf
--Dark elf (that is exiled from their home country)
--Drow elf
Human
Dwarf
--Mountain dwarf
--Hill dwarf
--Dark dwarf (the deep deep underground psychos with mental problems)
Halfling
--"hobbit"
--Kender (halfling like people with a natural afinity to theivery. Loud, crazy, manic, and immune to fear. In fact they're always happy. Hated by every other species they come across for their sheer ability to show up anywhere and everywhere like cockroaches....)
--Lightfoot
Halfsy (half one thing, half another like Half elf, Half orc, Half ogre, half halfling, half dragon, whatever)
Were-folk
--were-cat (lion, leopard, cheetah, whatever...)
--were-wolf
--Kitsune
----Werefolk can be any type of animal imaginable. Why not a werepossum? These creatures can go from an animal form, a human form, and a hybrid form. Stronger and faster than regular humans with special abilities)

--Spacer (someone who spends more time in space than on a planet. Usually taller, thinner, and paler than planet goers)
--Upgrades (people whose genes have been tampered with, or who have had cyborg/bioroid implants. Usually rather attractive...go figure)
--Metahuman (someone with a special ability granted by radiation, inbreeding, freak accident whatever)
Android
Alien (I bet you can pick you favorite kinds from tv and movies. Why not play a vulcan anyway...)
--Vulcan
--Romulan
