A polymorph for each of those but not playable race. I think the common 10 should remain as only playable races, and any other RP derivative should be the role of skins, polymorphs and personalities. ZOS have enough trouble making racial passives relevant and balanced as it is, flavour beyond what we currently have should be cosmetic only.2 -

✭✭Daily reminder that the only race that would even remotely work as a player option, aside from the classic ten we all love, is Sea Elf.
This is the only race here that actually interacts with Tamrielic nations on a daily basis at a standard political level. Not to mention that, you know... Elder Scrolls races for players have been strictly humanoid since Arena.
I don't think it's as simple as people think to have "playable lamea".
Even all the polymorphs we have are humanoid.In-game username: Un1korn | Happy member of the PCNA UESP guild (Resident Daggerfall Covenant enjoyer) | Main & basically only character: Crucian Vulpin, Imperial Dragonknight of the Daggerfall Covenant, and Undaunted Bulwark (I tank) | Mountain bike enjoyer and vulpine appreciator | If you know me from PCEU: No | To ZOS: THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BRING MY HORSE INTO BATTLE!7 -

Well they could go with sub race
Passive being the almost the same as the main one with minor tweak like changing stam to mag
Or in the case of maomer take dunmer then change fire to lightning
That way we get more raceand addapted passive with no real imbalance0 -

✭Ogre polymorph (with variants Snow, Nature, Diseased etc)
- Ogres are large, seemingly dim-witted humanoids found throughout Tamriel.
- Ogres are considered to be goblin-ken, and worship Malacath like the Orcs. They are often enslaved by other races, a practice which angers Malacath.
- Especially common in Cyrodiil, ogres are hunter-gatherers who live in small, primitive communities, often inhabiting backwoods and natural caves. Although possessing great strength, they are generally considered nothing more than a nuisance and often steal objects from settlements.
- Ogres are thought to have a culture.
- Although usually perceived as dim-witted and violent brutes, ogres have been known to show considerable intelligence. Vivec is said to have had a battle with the Flute-and-Pipe Ogres of the West Gash. The Ironhand ogres of Stormhaven were a significant military threat to the region in 2E 582, and were besieged and slain by the Daggerfall Covenant. The ogres of Wrothgar helped found the first Orsinium alongside the Orcs and other goblin-ken after they were freed from slavery during the time of the Camoran Dynasty. Although shunned and violent in modern times, Wrothgarian ogres possess remarkable intelligence and have been known to perform powerful ice magic.
- It is possible that ogres can interbreed with humans.

__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

You know that Dunmer and Maormer don't have much in common? The Maormer already seperated from the other mer back in Aldmeris. So lorewise it wouldn't really fit. And it would seem uncreative for me. What's the point in having different races if they don't really differ? If you just want the looks (I can imagine some would want their char to walk around as a Maormer, I would even consider it myself), a polymorph would be enough.

Considering we know how subraces work in Tamriel, offspring take primarily the traits of the mother with a smattering of paternal traits. So how would that look? Die roll on passives, or just a reskin of the maternal parent (which is pretty much a restrictive version of my suggestion)? As for the other option, take an existing race, reskin and frankenstein the passives, not really feeling that. Pick the race you want from the original 10, chuck on a skin or polymorph you have everything you want along with everyone else... Seems the least difficult route and means to avoid p2w qq.0 -

Sea elves had been an obvious new race, same with more Khajiit types like Ohmes-raht and Dagi.
Unfornatly the two expansions where it would make perfect sense to add this has passed.
And no you could not play as an non humanoid as armor and gear would not fit nor would animations work out.
No its not an stupid idea seeing that cast time on AoE is something they want to test playable daedra sounds like an good idea.Grinding just make you go in circles.

Although I'm not a fan of Dragons in ESO. The fact is Dragons were not extinct and while the story feels forced to me the idea of a group of dragons attacking an area generally disregarded by the rest of Tamrielic civilization is not really far-fetched. The rampant racism and the setting being the Interregnum means this bit of history easily could be lost or disregarded by anyone outside of Khajiiti society. And since Bethesda seems to have an unspoken rule about visiting places that are predominantly ruled by beastfolk its easily a good bit of lore that would never be brought up in places like High Rock, Cyrodiil, Skyrim and Morrowind.
Does ZOS take some artistic liberties when it comes to approaching the lore? Sure but its an MMO and unlike a single player game it only thrives by outdoing itself year after year or it dries up and dies a slow death. Dragons were an inevitable addition to the game after the major success of Skyrim. And so far ESO has given the community far more lore to chew on in regards to unseen societies like the High Elves, Argonians, Wood Elves and Khajiit than ever before. So I think its a bit unfair to claim the company doesn't care about the lore when they've done so much to expand upon it in a way that Bethesda was never interested in doing.Penniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry - Laerinel Rhaev - Enrerion - Caius Berilius - Seylina Ithvala - Signa Squallrider - H'Vak the GrimjawlYynril Rothvani - Tenarei Rhaev - Bathes-In-Coin - Dazsh Ro Khar - Aredyhel - Reads-To-Frogs - Azjani Ma'LesKheshna gra-Gharbuk - Gallisten Bondurant - Aban Shahid Bakr - Etain Maquier - Atsu Kalame - Faulpia Severinus2 -

Well its not really its because they are related by lore but because i thinkthe passive are close to what maomer would have
Lightning and concused resistance due to there affinity to that element, its a varient of fire and burn resistance dark elve get
Maomer are also mostly saw as either pirate or storm mage so a bonus to both magika and stamina would fit the race
So thats why i decribed it like this
As for subrace i mainly tought about khajiit sub race we saw in elsweyr(not including the quadripedal ones) wich would be variance of the khajiit because they are mostly the same race
Also a polymorph isnt good because it make everybody exactly the same0 -

Pick the race you want from the original 10, chuck on a skin or polymorph you have everything you want along with everyone else... Seems the least difficult route and means to avoid p2w qq.
As subrace i was speaking about khajiit mainly0 -

Goblin polymorph (so it can be used in Cyrodiil)
Other reasonable Khajiiti furstock polymorphs (because polymorphs are the only thing that would work considering that they can't revisit all old armor to make it fit them)This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.0 -

Thats sad because it would make them all looks the same since there is no way to have style on them😑0 -
ghost_bg_ESO✭✭✭✭I have requested this before and I will request it again...
Sorcerer Pet skins, specifically atronachs it fits the lore and they are lesser deadra used in conjuration in previous editions.
You gave warden a different bear color skin, I see no reason to not expand on the concept I don't even care if its in the crownstore.
whit skin like this also we will have less flapping wings in the cities1 -

Problem with polymorp is that it make all look the same, now if you could transmute an standard Khajiit into an Dagi.Falmer skin + personality
Goblin polymorph (so it can be used in Cyrodiil)

However it make sense that an smaller furstock focus on magic this is most prominent for Alfiq, no they might be even weaker than your standard Cathay Khajiit but they can not do non magical stuff well.
Now an Pahmar-raht in heavy armor with two oversize pauldrons who act as turrets for two Alfiq mages and and armored backpack for an Alfiq healer / tail gunner are you an warrior or an small battleship?
Well how wet is Khajiit?Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

Minotaur
Giant
Nyried
Molag bal
George Washington
Lamea
Sea elf
Minotaur and giant polymorph is too big.
Bal also too big and won't happen.
Lamea don't have legs so won't happen.
Sea elves could be added, but they missed a trick not having them with Summerset0
