    Sorry to be nitpicky but the Lord of the Rings picture of an orc is actually an Uruk-hai and the picture of a goblin is an orc

    I know you probably didn't create it Stamets but I always think of ways to tweak these.

    Better would be space goblin: romulan (since goblins were made from elves, space goblins are made from space elves), Space Hobbits: ferengi since they are mostly a nuisance but willing to carry something up a mountain for a good cause.

    I'll always find it a little weird how pop culture settled on making Dwarves vaguely Scottish when their origin is as Nordic and Germanic mountain spirits.

      Das Schwarze Auge was a game series with a few CRPGs that did have very German Dwarves, if that helps. I'm talking cave fortresses with names like Finsterkoppen.

      From my experience living in the dorms with engineering students, yeah most definitely.

      For context, I was a Jazz Studies major.
