===Lesser Races===
Whilst the dragons and their "Vassals" get all the attention, there's actually quite a lot of intelligent races running around the Io's Blood Isles according to the random encounters charts, so this'd actually be a perfect place to run "weird race" centric campaigns. These races include:
* [[Frost Giant]]s
* [[Fire Giant]]s
* [[Ogre]]s
* [[Troll]]s
* [[Hobgoblin]]s
* [[Kobold]]s
* [[Bugbear]]s
* [[Ettin]]s
* [[Yeti]]s
* [[Quaggoth]]s (an arctic-adapted surface-dwelling race which hunts dragons with the aid of pots of brown mold as throwing weapons)
* [[Hag]]s
* [[Duergar]]
* [[Wemic]]s (at war with the hobgoblins who share their terrain)
* [[Firbolg]]s (Neutral Evil in the isles, strangely)
* [[Centaur]]s
* [[Satyr]]s
* [[Dryad]]s
* [[Nymph]]s
* [[Gnoll]]s
* [[Goblin]]s (ride giant spiders)
* [[Cyclops]]es
* [[Hill Giant]]s
* [[Aquatic Elf|Aquatic Elves]]
* [[Sirine]]s
* [[Koalinth]]s
* [[Drow]]
* [[Manscorpion]]s (bitter enemies of the thri-kreen)
* [[Thri-Kreen]] (bitter enemies of the manscorpions)
* [[Yuan-ti]] (at war with the other swamp-dwellers)
* [[Lizardfolk]] ("Advanced" cultural variant, working at controlling reptilian [[Gargantua]])
* [[Bullywug]]s (psionic, True Neutral, with a [[druid]]ic cultrual belief, control and ride giant swamp worms, breed carnivorous plant guardians)
* [[Svirfneblin]]
* [[Spriggan]]s (dwell in the underdark, all but indistinguishable from svirfneblin)
* [[Kuo-Toa]] (dwell in surface waters, unaffected by sunlight)

Additionally, certain monsters take on more unusual forms here. [[Cave Fisher]]s are fully sapient, rather than mere predatory animals, and capture humanoids from the surface to sell as slaves to the [[Aboleth]]s in the [[Underdark]]. [[Manticore]]s are characterized as "wise, but stingy and hard bargainers". A species of fire-breathing canine, described as "[[Hell Hound]]s, but True Neutral" are common in the deserts and trained by local hobgoblins.
