I love those books, because you can really visualize how the animal behaviors represent our personalities. If you were to relate the D&D races to animals, what would each be?

However, based on racial stereotypes, here is a quick guess: Human - Fox Elf - Hawk Half-Elf - Songbird of some kind Half-Orc - Boar Dwarf - Bear Halfing - Mouse I'm having difficulty with the gnomes :(
