Exotic Races and Strange Creatures

[Ban]

In my epic Fantasy world which is on hold for the moment because I might have gone a bit too far with the worldbuilding I have:

-sentient, giant otters living in sentient, giant trees
-Woodland mammoths
-Bio-engineered trash eating guinea pigs
-Lizardfolk living on migratory, floating seaweed islands
-Pegasus-centaurs
-and a lot of other weird things

I'm a huge fan of taking known fantasy races that sometimes are given undeserved treatment and making them the stars. (It's one of the reasons I'm a fan of the Warcraft franchise - they took orcs and made them the stars arguably.)

In my case I've settled on Giants. Either portrayed as too big or too savage and dumb, I've been making my world's version of the giants as nuanced as any human kingdom.

That. Sounds. Awesome!!!!!! Have you published a book with any of these in it yet?

Still working with that world, though the stories within it have shifted thematically from epic fantasy to a food travelogue. All of the creatures are still in there.

Classic Ban . Everything is about food.
