We should have some new races that are ACTUALLY unique and play differently to humans. I'm open to suggestions, I've seen the crab people idea floating around, and me and Cheridan came up with a few ideas as well:
Crystal race or something:
No hands.
No clothes.
No legs.
literally just a floating crystal.
It speaks telepathically, and can move stuff only using telekinesis(which it has by default). It is also space-immune and doesn't need to breath. To balance it out, it's slow and incredibly fragile - 1-2 hits with a toolbox could shatter one, killing it permanently. Making it heat-immune like slimes is also tempting but that might be OP.
High quality crystal race simulation:
Bird people(cheridan's suggestion):
Like humans, but can only pick stuff up with it's tongue.
One-'handed', obviously, and they can't talk while holding something.
Bird people simulation unavailable, have a artist's rendition of a bird-person greytider instead:
