Okay, then we're once again faced with the issue of "not enough information".

There are animalistic races, ritualistic races, evil races, good races, neutral races. What are you looking for? Something that looks more human? Something that shapeshifts? Something that's small, something that tall, something that's steeped in lots of detail, or something that you could flesh out without stepping on too many toes?

There are thousands of cultures out there and possibly millions of mythological species. I'd really like to help you, but if you don't want the common things like vampires and werewolves, you'll have to try to be a bit more specific so I can narrow it down for you. I like doing research on mythical creatures and I'd be happy to give you some links on whatever you decide.
