===Snowflake Races=== The races most of /tg/ mocks because they're seen as favored by people who want special snowflake or weeaboo type characters, even if these are all races with roots in traditional D&D. '''[[Aasimar]]:''' The iconic D&D Goodly [[Planetouched]]. Because Pathfinder has a much bigger array of "angels", there's many different sub-varieties of aasimar. There's actually a country where these guys are really common, which makes them almost as normal in Golarion as a [[dragonborn]] or [[half-orc]] would be in standard 5e D&D. '''[[Aphorite]]:''' [[Lawful Neutral|Lawful]] [[planetouched]] humanoids with skin and hair of a golden metallic luster, created by the [[Axiomites]] of [[Axis]]. '''[[Catfolk]]:''' Pretty bog-standard [[Chaotic Stupid]] cat-people. Infamous for their schizophrenic artwork, which has portrayed them as anything from "[[catgirl]]s with a fine layer of fur all over their body" to "full fledged [[furry]]" to [[Elder Scrolls|"why does this look exactly like a Khajiit?"]]. '''[[Changeling]]:''' Not to be confused with the [[Eberron]] changeling, which is a [[doppelganger]]'s half-human spawn, Golarion's changelings are the immature larval form of [[hag]]s. Essentially, an entire species of cute/hot witches - with heterochromia, no less! - who are supposed to beautiful, but at the same time, so creepy and spooky they get a Charisma penalty. This aspect is the main reason why /tg/ mocks them. They're not necessarily a bad race, though, especially if you want more dark fantasy or horror fantasy games. '''[[Dhampyre|Dhampir]]:''' Half-human and half-vampire, but, like the changeling, they fit the Ustalav region just great - hell, it really is surprising that these guys never showed up in [[Ravenloft]]. '''[[Drow]]:''' When the elves fucked off to another planet to escape an apocalypse, some of the more arrogant assholes stayed behind. Ultimately turning to worship of various [[Demon Prince]]s to survive, and becoming psycho-evil arrogant assholes in the bargain. Most noted for their fucked-up love of fleshcrafting, which is basically manipulating living creatures and turning them into monsters. '''[[Ganzi]]:''' The most obscure of the PF [[Planetouched]], these guys are essentially Chaotic Planetouched and may be connected to the Proteans, Golarion's equivalent to the [[Slaad]]i. '''[[Genasi|Ifrit/Oread/Sylph/Undine]]:''' These guys are basically [[genasi]], but Pathfinder pretends to treat them as seperate races in order to make the comparison seem less obvious. '''[[Ratfolk]]:''' Merchant-tinker rat-people. Smarter and more chill than the [[Skaven|usual rat-type races]]. [[Ysoki|May have come from space]]. '''[[Shifter|Skinwalker]]:''' As dhampirs are to vampires, these guys are to [[therianthrope]]s. Essentially [[Shifter]]s with less shitty artwork. '''[[Suli]]:''' One of the stupider [[planetouched]] races in Pthfinder, these guys are [[genie]]-kin who trace their lineage to the oft-forgotten Janni, the mixed-elemental fifth genie race which is the weakest of them all. '''[[Tengu]]:''' Humanoid flightless crow-people who love shinies. Essentially less-evil [[kenku]] outright using the mythological version's name. Tend to become rogues (or ninjas), samurai and pirates. Sometimes two at once. '''[[Tiefling]]:''' When one of the countries has the theme "demonic invasion through gaping portals to the Abyss" and another is "Fantasy Nazis using a pact with Satan to stay in power", are you really surprised that these guys are everywhere? Especially considering Golarion has a huge list of fiends outside of the Devil/Daemon/Demon trinity and they ''all'' make tieflings.
