I'd totally say drow.... but then I'd be a dangerous step closer to being one of "those guys" who roleplay as a 'totally original' drow elf who wields double scimitars, has mother issues, and often goes off into long-winded philosophical rants about his feelings. :lol:

Here is a NPC sprite that I made using Modanung's work. It contains nine different races.

Adding races wouldn't fit the actuals story used in game and also the gameplay, no? Afaik, every NPCs are humans, or undead. but creating some semi-mouboos or undead races could be fun ^^.

Also Ali-G, what does this spritesheet do? I don't really understand what is the meaning to put every races in a sprite and to put a gradiant of them from 10% to 100% opacity oO.
And as Modanung is the original artist, why not directly posting this link? http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Man

This NPC is a shapeshifter. It changes from a race to another in a nice way hence I needed the opacity to go from 0% to 100%.

"And so it came to pass, that many races settled on one continent, and discovered that there was only one food source that all of the races found delicious - the poor, doomed pinkies. To be fair though, they were to die for with a bit of mustard, and then drowned in cheese while tomorrow's pinkie dinner watches, horrified at the fate awaiting it. The fear gives them that extra flavor." - Robot Auldsbel from the Future.

This seems like it could be a legit explanation - and perhaps a glimpse at a dark future. Please join the fight to save pinkies everywhere, by spitting on Hinnak whenever you see him and his billion scythes. :(
