Three flavors of short folk (Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes), nowhere near enough weird stuff

No giant spiders that communicate with tapestries, no manifestations of the plane of order presenting themselves as organic plant-based machines, no children irreparably changed because their parents survived an encounter with beings beyond their comprehension

We get ripped off, for sure

Pathfinder has some really cool animated plant/mushroom people and they're adorable.

All of the things they listed are Pathfinder races from the Lost Omens books, which I think is the joke. Specifically the Anadi, Conrasu, and Geniekin (I think that's the third one?).

I was thinking more along the lines of the non-devil tieflings, like the Motherless or the Shackleborn

Really kind of tired of every tiefling being a sexy person with horns when it's a more interesting idea of having to deal with the world when you look like a filthy potato who doesn't have a shadow and you sweat yellow steam that smells like sulfur

they're based on a critter of the same name in Slavic folklore.
