Races are boring. Cultures are cool.

It's why Orkz are cool, it's why Warhammer Dwarves are cool, it's why Burning Wheel Elfs and Orcs feel original, it's why the cannibal lizardfolk from 5e are interesting.

You want to make beastfolk? Ok, will they have a different and interesting culture like the Skaven or just be people with mouse ears/features?
