One of my favorite things about fantasy as a whole are new and exotic races/species. Of course you have your elves, and dwarves, halflings, orcs, and dragons and I have no problem with those "typical" fantasy races. In fact, I still really enjoy them, but I also enjoy when an author does something completely different. Unfortunately the hardest part about world building for me personally is coming up with new races, or creatures.
The world that where I'm setting my story in has a small handful of races and creatures of varying degrees of depth and culture, and even though the story is centered around Human main characters I love the idea of something very familiar living alongside something very foreign or alien.
How or where do you guys get inspiration for making up new creatures or races? I feel like my world could use a little more of those.
