Ray posted this note to the list about Midkemia's more nefarious denizens:
In the _game_ of Midkemia, you got the full blast of every critter from every damn FRP you can imagine, so you could see minotaurs and gnolls.
In the literary Midkemia, I've tried to cut down the monster population, for a couple of reasons, dramatically and practically.
So major non-humans, elves in all their flavors, dwarves, gobblins, and trolls. Giants have been mentioned, but I'm treating them basically as horribly mutated human stock (might be a story there somewhere). The serpent people and tiger people were magically mutated by the Valheru, and are not naturally occurring.
There may be a few other intelligent races lurking around, but nothing gets really strange until after the 5th Riftwar, and from that point forward, nothing is impossible.
