All of these have complex and fleshed out backstories, but I don't feel like getting into them ATM.

KT I assume you know.

Manuwaith: Parrot Humanoids. They combine the traits of several species, and their language is an extremely fast, beak-addapted mix of Maori, Taino, Japanese and Tetum.

The Kubwa Khazad: An ethnicity of Dwarves that mixed with many different Mannish races until they developed their own. The easiest way to describe their culture is through linguistic representation: Imagine Khuzdul, filled in and remade with Hebrew, and then heavily peppered with Amharic, Swahili, various other Bantu languages, Arabic, Urdu, Berber languages, and to a small extent Arab-Spanish. They have heavy, heavy influence from both Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East/North Africa, along with a vibe that plays up the Khazad's connection to the Jews.

The Tithendar: A group of super-spring'y, tropical Elves who have little sexual-dimorphism and on average are 4'5. Their armor looks similar to that of the Leafmen from the flop movie Epic. They have tan skin, straight, thick black hair, clean shaven faces with a combination of East Asian, Pacific Islander and Carribean Islander, and eyes that are so vivid green that they almost glow. They can jump and be illusive in a way Humans can't even understand, and are deeply spiritual. Their language is a mix of archaic Elvish,

The Inya Sangheili: Despite their controversial origins, they have quite a bit of non-Sangheili depth. They have heavy Elvish, Japanese and Aboriginal Australian influence, and their biology is also different that conventional Sangheili. They have jet black, incredibly smooth skin, are a bit shorter than most Sangheili (still taller than Humans) and they have a mane of black, scales on their head that is like their version of hair.
