{{skubby|What does and doesn't qualify as "Freakshit"}}

In short: Any race that seems designed to appeal to [[Mary Sue|special snowflake]] abusing players and/or [[Furry|Furries]].

Like [[Mary Sue]], there's a lot of debate about what does and does not count as "Freakshit", so getting people to agree on what does and doesn't qualify is [[skub]]alicious.

We list the following only out of a desire to document the common use of the term, not out of any approval of any particular usage of it, or the word in general:

* The most notable example is probably [[Shardmind]], the race for which the word was coined. There have been "weird for weird's sake" races before and since, but none have inspired as much "who the fuck would want to play '''*that*'''?" questioning as the Shardmind.
* [[Dragonborn]] seem like they would appeal to furries but even a lot of furries dislike the race's design and lore.
* And of course, all the weird monsters in 3rd edition that had the option to be used as characters despite sometimes not even being humanoid and the terrible level adjustment rules that would make them underpowered compared to normal characters so nobody actually would use them rules as written, such as the [[Unbodied]] and the [[Ixitxachitl]].
