===Everything Else=== Really, there's just an encyclopedia of other races, but they are all pretty archetypal D&D stuff. You have different varieties of elves, dorfs, halflings, gnomes, etc. If you've played enough fantasy RPG in the past 20 years, none of this will be much of a shock. One interesting note is that the D&D terms of various kinds of elves are different in other settings. Both Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance have different names for their elven subgroups, yet their culture is pretty much completely the same (with minor changes according to specific history in those settings). Same with dwarves and halflings. But don't worry, dark elves are still evil bastards who worship a demonic bitch-goddess no matter what setting they are in, apparently. The [[Complete Book Series]] even specifically spells out that the different ethnicities of Greyhawk and [[Forgotten Realms]] elves are just setting-specific and slightly color-unique tweaks on the "generic" elven subraces of High, Gray, Wood, Wild and Dark. In general, Greyhawk tries to tone down the presence and importance of [[demihuman]]s as much as possible, since this was Gygax's baby and he was going for a much more humanocentric [[Sword & Sorcery]] inspired setting than the likes of Narnia or [[Tolkien|Tollers]]' Beleriand. (Contrast later [[Dragonlance]] and the [[Forgotten Realms]].)
