Beastman (D&D)
The long-forgotten Beastmen are, in the context of Dungeons & Dragons, one of two different monstrous humanoid races that appeared in the game's infancy.
The Mystaran Beastman is native to the Hollow World sub-setting, and appears as a race/class for Basic D&D. These Beastmen are the primeval ancestors of several modern monstrous humanoids - orcs, goblins, ogres, [[cyclops]es and trolls. This makes them an extremely mutable human-like species, complete with tables upon tables of random features.
The Greyhawk Beastman is a furry, forest-dwelling humanoid with semi-feline facial features native to Oerth. With green-tinged fur that provides camouflage, they are also a playable race for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition, appearing in the Complete Book of Humanoids.
