* Although \\\'\\\'DominicDeegan\\\'\\\' started off with mainly human characters, in the recent \\\"vacation arc\\\" they started adding a crapload more.
* On Enor, the Earth-like planet in [[WorldBuilding/{{Enor}} the Worldbuilding project of the same name]], and on Ymir, there are the Manii, Kalur, Ken\\\'y, Irks, Pards, Orpacurce, Merks, Noruej, and Ymirians among a handful of other races.
* Despite the fact that \\\'\\\'ComicStrip/FlashGordon\\\'\\\' takes place on only one planet for most of its run, that planet, Mongo is incredibly diverse.
* RobertReed\\\'s \\\'\\\'Literature/TheGreatShip\\\'\\\' series has thousands of unique StarfishAliens on board the massive, Jupiter-sized starship.
* In \\\'\\\'Literature/HaveSpaceSuitWillTravel\\\'\\\' by RobertHeinlein, the Three Galaxies government covers the Milky Way and the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds. It has at least 1728 member races, and almost certainly \\\'\\\'many\\\'\\\' more than that.
* Larry Niven\\\'s \\\'\\\'KnownSpace\\\'\\\' series has Humans, Kzinti, Puppeteers, Outsiders, Pierin, Kdatlyno, Trinocs, Bandersnatchi, Grogs and more. Those are only the contemporary races, the Thrint, Tnuctipun, Pak, Martians and others have gone (mostly) extinct. And then there are all the myriad humanoid subspecies on Ringworld...
* \\\'\\\'Webcomic/LastRes0rt\\\'\\\', like most [[FurryFandom Furry Comics]], revels in this. It\\\'s an interplanetary event set on supposedly neutral ground, and has LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters. For example, [[http://www.lastres0rt.com/2012/04/ten-little-teenagers-1/ this page has]] (in order of appearance) Anyr, Talmi, Aeodah, Rejika, Aquivon, Vidian, Kendril, Jespa, Zillan, Tzepar, and Human... well, a human Djinn, at least), and even includes a catch all \\\"Wanderer\\\" race for species from worlds outside of the Connection!
* The \\\'\\\'Literature/{{Lensman}}\\\'\\\' series has lots and lots of kinds of aliens.
* \\\'\\\'MahouSenseiNegima\\\'\\\' has 4 basic races: Humans, {{Youkai}}, Hellas race(dark skinned) and [[FunnyAnimal Animal]] [[PettingZooPeople People]] from the [[MagicalLand Magic World]]. The human races are then subdivided in many different kinds \\\'\\\'and\\\'\\\' varying in all points of the SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism.
* \\\'\\\'TheMalazanBookOfTheFallen\\\'\\\' has dozens of races, each with multiple named characters.
* \\\'\\\'MastersOfTheUniverse\\\'\\\' features quite a number of sapient species: humans, bee-men, bird-men, mer-men, skunk-men, spider-men, any number of indescribable things (like Orko and Modulok)... and then there\\\'s all the various kinds of robot and cyborg.
* The \\\'\\\'Literature/MythAdventures\\\'\\\' series has mentioned dozens of races by name, and the existence of thousands more is implied by the diversity of its minor characters and background crowds.
* The HinduMythology canon has tons of sapient races, as one might expect of the world\\\'s oldest religion that is still practiced today. The list includes the vanara, garuda, naga, rakshasa, the saptas, pitrs, the gods themselves and their avatars. And those are just the most popular ones -- there are literally hundreds of different beings in the Ramayana alone.
* JapaneseMythology has dozens of races, most of them spirits, animal people, and sentient objects.
* Most species of animal exist as humanoid beings in \\\'\\\'NexusGate\\\'\\\'. Most cultures we have in real life are represented with fictional counterparts as well.
* In \\\'\\\'Literature/TheStarBeast\\\'\\\' by RobertHeinlein, the Federation has so many intelligent races in it that one of their top diplomats can\\\'t keep track of how many there are.
* In \\\'\\\'Literature/TheStoneGodAwakes\\\'\\\' by Philip Jose Farmer, a future earth has a dozen or more sapient species descended from various mammals.
* \\\'\\\'Thundercats\\\'\\\', in both incarnations, has more races than you\\\'d think would \\\'\\\'fit\\\'\\\' on one planet. Various animal-people are only the beginning.
* In \\\'\\\'UglyAmericans\\\'\\\', New York alone seems to be home to hundreds, if not thousands, of races. Many are introduced for a quick gag, only to be fleshed out with their own histories and customs later on.
* Jack L. Chalker\\\'s \\\'\\\'WellWorld\\\'\\\' series has a planet containing 1560 extremely diverse intelligent species -- the planet itself is a sort of laboratory for a superintelligent species which used it to experiment with creating all different kinds of life. It is divided into thousands of hexagons, each having its own environment and even differing physics.
* On Enor, the Earth-like planet in [[WorldBuilding/{{Enor}} the Worldbuilding project of the same name]], and on Ymir, there are the Manii, Kalur, Ken\\\'y, Irks, Pards, Orpacurce, Merks, Noruej, and Ymirians among a handful of other races.

* In \\\'\\\'Literature/TheStoneGodAwakes\\\'\\\' by Philip Jose Farmer, a future earth has a dozen or more sapient species descended from various mammals.
* \\\'\\\'Thundercats\\\'\\\', in both incarnations, has more races than you\\\'d think would \\\'\\\'fit\\\'\\\' on one planet. Various animal-people are only the beginning.
* In \\\'\\\'UglyAmericans\\\'\\\', New York alone seems to be home to hundreds, if not thousands, of races. Many are introduced for a quick gag, only to be fleshed out with their own histories and customs later on.
* Jack L. Chalker\\\'s \\\'\\\'WellWorld\\\'\\\' series has a planet containing 1560 extremely diverse intelligent species -- the planet itself is a sort of laboratory for a superintelligent species which used it to experiment with creating all different kinds of life. It is divided into thousands of hexagons, each having its own environment and even differing physics.
* On Enor, the Earth-like planet in [[WorldBuilding/{{Enor}} the Worldbuilding project of the same name]], and on Ymir, there are the Manii, Kalur, Ken\\\'y, Irks, Pards, Orpacurce, Merks, Noruej, and Ymirians among a handful of other races.
* Despite the fact that \\\'\\\'ComicStrip/FlashGordon\\\'\\\' takes place on only one planet for most of its run, that planet, Mongo is incredibly diverse.
* RobertReed\\\'s \\\'\\\'Literature/TheGreatShip\\\'\\\' series has thousands of unique StarfishAliens on board the massive, Jupiter-sized starship.
* In \\\'\\\'Literature/HaveSpaceSuitWillTravel\\\'\\\' by RobertHeinlein, the Three Galaxies government covers the Milky Way and the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds. It has at least 1728 member races, and almost certainly \\\'\\\'many\\\'\\\' more than that.
* Larry Niven\\\'s \\\'\\\'KnownSpace\\\'\\\' series has Humans, Kzinti, Puppeteers, Outsiders, Pierin, Kdatlyno, Trinocs, Bandersnatchi, Grogs and more. Those are only the contemporary races, the Thrint, Tnuctipun, Pak, Martians and others have gone (mostly) extinct. And then there are all the myriad humanoid subspecies on Ringworld...
* \\\'\\\'Webcomic/LastRes0rt\\\'\\\', like most [[FurryFandom Furry Comics]], revels in this. Justified in being an interplanetary event set on supposedly neutral ground, but with [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters the sheer number of characters as is...]]
* The \\\'\\\'Literature/{{Lensman}}\\\'\\\' series has lots and lots of kinds of aliens.
* \\\'\\\'MahouSenseiNegima\\\'\\\' has 4 basic races: Humans, {{Youkai}}, Hellas race(dark skinned) and [[FunnyAnimal Animal]] [[PettingZooPeople People]] from the [[MagicalLand Magic World]]. The human races are then subdivided in many different kinds \\\'\\\'and\\\'\\\' varying in all points of the SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism.
* \\\'\\\'TheMalazanBookOfTheFallen\\\'\\\' has dozens of races, each with multiple named characters.
* \\\'\\\'Webcomic/TheMansionOfE\\\'\\\' has numerous species living in the vast underground complex beneath the Mansion; their ancestors were gathered there as exhibits in a zoo by another now-vanished species.
* \\\'\\\'MastersOfTheUniverse\\\'\\\' features quite a number of sapient species: humans, bee-men, bird-men, mer-men, skunk-men, spider-men, any number of indescribable things (like Orko and Modulok)... and then there\\\'s all the various kinds of robot and cyborg.
* The \\\'\\\'Literature/MythAdventures\\\'\\\' series has mentioned dozens of races by name, and the existence of thousands more is implied by the diversity of its minor characters and background crowds.
* The HinduMythology canon has tons of sapient races, as one might expect of the world\\\'s oldest religion that is still practiced today. The list includes the vanara, garuda, naga, rakshasa, the saptas, pitrs, the gods themselves and their avatars. And those are just the most popular ones -- there are literally hundreds of different beings in the Ramayana alone.
* JapaneseMythology has dozens of races, most of them spirits, animal people, and sentient objects.
* Most species of animal exist as humanoid beings in \\\'\\\'NexusGate\\\'\\\'. Most cultures we have in real life are represented with fictional counterparts as well.
* The \\\'\\\'SectorGeneral\\\'\\\' series by James White, set on a space-station hospital, has so many races, they have a four-letter coding system to classify them rather than just list a few (or a few dozen). Even at that, humans have to share the code \\\"DBDG\\\" with two other (vaguely human-looking) species.
