Whether the ever popular elves and dwarves or sapient non-human creatures of your own creation, many worlds include fantastical people of all sorts. Did you choose to include any in your world, and if so what are they like?

There are 7 major fantasy races living on the main continent of my world. They are all very human-like, but all with something small which makes them slightly unique.
Eiloth: Basically humans, but with the ability to heal from any non-lethal injury. Even if they lose an entire limb, they will eventually recover as if nothing ever happened.
Forla: I originally planned for them to be elves, but their defining factors have become that 1/3 of the population are hermaphrodites, and that appearance is not related to biological sex at all.
Dorac: Dragon people who evolved from forla, so in addition to everything above they also have dragon-like horns, wings, and tail. Their wings aren’t enough on their own to fly, but combined with some magic they are capable of it.
Kolain: Cat people, which can be anywhere from humans with cat ears and tail to sapient cats. They have better vision compared to the other sapient races.
Taluu: Bunny people, all of which are just humans with bunny ears and tail. They naturally have a faster reaction time than other races.
Ikijin: Foxes which created transformation magic to take on a human-like form, but retained their fox ears and tails. They are roughly divided into the more northern red ikijin and southern arctic ikijin.
Zwolx: Wolves which imperfectly copied the transformation magic of the ikijin, resulting in many distinct regional differences such as floppy ears and curled tails. Yes this is a joke about dog breeds.
If anyone has any feedback, I’d love to hear it! I am fairly attached to all of them at this point and don’t plan to remove any of them, but I’m totally open to changing them up a bit. Especially the names, I’m still not sure how I feel about those.
