Game concept research

Please read all of this post before hitting reply. I am currently working on a game project. It's not simply a case of design, build and deliver. A good third of my time has been allocated to investigation and analysis. Simply put, a ton of research, methods and planning precedes the 'fun' parts of real projects. Maybe some people enjoy research... I'm not one of those! What I ask of you is to seriously reply to my request, or not at all. It is but a questionnaire, but I require honest and accurate responses if you wish to be considered and included. I will likely post further requests if your responses are sensible. So, onto the question bit! I would like you to name the top 10 fantasy races (species) you can identify. Please do not simply read the previous poster's response to 'refresh' your memory. I'd like your unique and genuine recognition. In addition, a small description of each race's origins (such as what game, film, book they're from). If you cannot identify 10, just list as many as you can. The context of this question should cover existing worlds - please do not make up your own concepts. As a small incentive, beta-testing of this game will likely fall foremost to those persons being helpful. Final note: I have posted this on a few different relevant forums (ie other than gd.net) in order to get a wider exposure and feedback. This is not spam, and I will report back results and further information about my project if people are interested.

It would help if you gave some more information about what this is for. Do you want to make the inhabitants of your game world easily familiar or do you plan to avoid the proposed steriotypes in an attempt at originality?

The game I'm working on features fantasy races that would live in cities, so my ten will be more humanoid oriented:

Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Ogres, Centaur, Titan, Troll and Giant.
