in the "Torturing the Paidhi" thread, another* asked if there was a list of species and books.

please add to this list:

Chanur series (5 books)
-Kif (two-jawed predatory bipeds; follow concept of sfik)
-Mahen (ape/monkey-like bipeds; follow Personages)
-Hani (biped lions, predatory; live in prides)
-Stsho (3 genders; herbivores)
-Knn (methane-breathers of great power)
-tca (methane-breathers who act as go-betweens)
-chi (methane-breathers; intelligence unknown/uncertain)
-humans
also...Dinner (live transportable food for Kif, who can't eat dead things)

Cloud's Rider series (two books)
-humans
-(?) (horse-like quadrapeds; telepathic; like to eat bacon)

Brothers of Earth
-humans
-nemet (Rome-like civilization; ruled by the methi)

Hunter of Worlds
-humans
-iduve (biped carnivores; rule at least one galaxy; highly technologically advanced; no human emotions)

Foreigner saga
-humans (yes, again. :innocent )
-atevi
-kyo
-The Unknowns




* = if "one" can mean "myself or someone else", might "another" be used in place of "someone, not me / someone not me" ?

Alliance/Union/Merchanter (more novels than I care to count at the moment)
Humans
Hisa AKA "Downers" - natives of "Downbelow", the planet orbited by Pell station
Calibans - semi-sapient reptiles from Gehenna
Majat - insectoid race
Regul - big evil fatasses
Mri - mercenaries for hire
Whatever the aliens are who own the planet Meroven ... I've forgotten their name

I don't think the platytheres or ankyloderms of Cyteen count, as they're apparently mere animals.

It was the sharrh who were ceded Merovin by Union.

There are also the natives (the People?) in Hestia, and the suilti (elves) from The Scapegoat which is another A/U story.

Also in Hunter of Worlds, the amaut (short, tubby non-hobbit farmer types), and the protagonist's race, which I remember as something like kalia (but I can't lay hands on the book right now to check). Who are slightly built, with blue skin and silver hair.

Yeah, they're the ones that look like Andorians on Star Trek.

Those would be Nighthorses. Horse-like quadrupeds who are intelligent but not quite in the same way as humans, who communicate via telepathic images conveying their thoughts/feelings.

There was one 'horse who enjoyed eating bacon, but I think that is mostly a personal preference for that particular beast.
