Just wanted to list all the known official D&D "Beast-Men" races and the books wherein their stats are located, as a reference for myself and others.

Here are the ones I know of, in no perticular order:
-Catfolk (Races of the Wild, p92)
-Gnoll (Races of the Wild, p99)
-Centaur (Races of the Wild, p95)
-Raptoran (Races of the Wild, p65)
-Tortle (Dragon#315, p73)
-Grippli (Dragon #324, p84)
-Lupin (Dragon #325, p85)
-Lizardfolk (Monster Manual, p169)
-Lizardfolk, Blackscale (Monster Manual III, p95)
-Lizardfolk, Poison Dusk (Monster Manual III, p96)
-Nycter (Monster Manual III, p112)
-Desmodu (Monster Manual II, p62)
-Loxo (Monster Manual II, p144)
-Marruspawn (Sandstorm, p 168)
-Anthropomorphic Animal (Savage Species, p214)

All I can think of so far. Can anyone else help me continue?

Harssaf, Flind Gnoll, Gargoyle, Doppleganger, Gragoyle, Illithid, all depends on where you want to draw the line of "beast" and "monster"

I think he means mostly non-magical humanoids with animal dominated features, that are atributed to a single animal. Have shifters and lycanthropes been mentioned.

Flinds are a good mention, and I forgot the Ibixian Goatfolk (Monster Manual III, p 63), the Equicephs (Miniatures Handbook, p61), the Yakfolk (Monster Manual II, p 200), the Nezumi (Oriental Adventures, p13), and the Vanara (Oriental Adventures, p15)..

*shrugs* Ok well Flind Gnoll, Armand, Satyr...

(I'll site the sources later, Satyr is MM1 and I believe the other 2 are MM3 or 2...)

you are forgetting the aarokocra of course, which was done up in one of the Forgotten Realms books. and lest we forget there are the giff that were written up about two years ago in Dragon. just to be fair to the bugs the thri-kreen need to be mentioned as well as the dromites. also the phanatons which were re introduced in MM3 or 4. not to mention the hadozee which came back in the pages of Stormwrack and perhaps the darfellans(sp?) which was a new race introduced for the first time in Stormwrack. I think if you check the various SJ sights you'll find the gromman as well. But off the top of my head that's all that has been missed so far.
