@andrew Just so you know, fanged deer are actually a thing. Like seriously, deer with fangs. They’re called musk deer. Look em up.

As for world building… If another race is just going to be in the background kind of floating around there and not have a purpose for the story, you might as well not go through the work of creating them. Ancient races, however, can be very cool, like for legends or stories or things, extinct beings that once lived in that country.

I once created a race of people, mostly like gnomes, I suppose you would say. I called them pogrims. I came up with them when I was ten, so I suppose I could invent a better name. They stand five to eight inches tall, and live under trees in underground cities. They’re a mining people, and they actually have invented a way to spin melted jewels into cloth, causing it to be very shimmery and smooth. They sell this to the humans, but only under the secret-est conditions, as they prefer to be anonymous. They wear jewelry cloth themselves, and they are human-like in form expect for very short arms and legs in proportion to their bodies and their features are gathered closer together on their face.

I’ve also invented a rock called rosestone. It’s pink in color, and after heated and cooled rapidly becomes brittle and can be ground into a dust that is poisonous. It’s not for anything specific, I was just bored on a car trip. 😀
