Most every MMO character creation screen contains a spectrum of racial choices, usually ranging from the bland Humans to the predictable picks (Elves) to the more alien and savage. Along the latter part of this range tends to dwell anthropomorphized beasts, such as playable rats, cats, and even lizards.
If there’s an animal out there in the world that’s at least slightly cute or has graced a Trapper Keeper cover at some point, it’s probably been made into a playable character. Pandas, bears, wolves, frogs, guinea pigs, tigers, and even dragons are options if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd and channel your spirit animal in an online game.
