I was actually using those names as a joke, I was going to name the "elves" Canavar and the "dwarves" Molla. But now that I saw the reaction I think I'll keep the old ones :p.
...I have no idea what you meant by that quote there 
.
And since I have been posting way to much due to boredom, time to make this post more constructive!
Since Humans are out of the way, I might as well finish off the other standard fantasy races, forcing everyone to at least come up with new names 
.
Elves
These creatures are often bestial, both in nature and appearance. Their head resembles that of a dog, with as much variety as their are dog species. Inside each of their mouth is large sharp teeth, hiding a massive forked tongue that extends several feet outwards. It is completely prehensile, and used like an arm is used in other races. Its head is connected to the body by a short, solid neck. The body is a quadruped, with four sturdy legs placed where you would expect them to be. Its main body resembles something of a great cat, with the back legs fitting the expected look. Its front arms are more ape-like, massive columns of muscle covered in a thick layer of hair and ending in normal clawed paws. It has a tail much like its tongue, long and forked with the ability to grab things like a hand would, though it is covered in a layer of hair suitable to the body. They have a certain kinship with animals, often domesticating and Training them for a variety of complex tasks.

Dwarves
Perhaps the most noticeable feature of the Dwarves is their legs, two tall limbs shaped like a spring. The reason this is their most notable feature is that they are used to near-constantly bounce. Any opportunity afforded to them they are in motion, from hopping up and down in the course of normal conversations to bouncing their way across towns to pouncing at enemies. The only time you could catch a still dwarf is when they are sleeping, or when absolutely necessary (such as when planning an ambush). Naturally, the springs are muscles under constant Training, often making them more powerful than even the natural strength imbued in them. Connected to the legs is the torso, which is almost brick-shapped. It also acts as the head, with three raindrop-shaped gems placed in a circle acting as its eyes. The circle itself acts as a mouth, food is placed inside it and simply moves inward with no visible opening. Its arms are springs much like their legs, and almost as active, though they are much thinner in diameter. Seven fingers are at the end of each arm, constructed of tightly-coiled springs that rarely seem to bounce. The flesh of the Dwarves is often mistaken for metal, appearing shiny and in metallic colors from cobalt-blue to bronze to shiny silver. This is incorrect, they are flesh and blood like normal creatures despite their appearance.

[Does this require Defense+2? It doesn't seem to say anywhere])
Those are not elves or dwarves.
This is just making you seem edgy.
And "forcing everyone to at least come up with new names", that seems like a moot point. As if I remember correctly, not even half the names used in these sorts of games are standard fantasy creature names.
Most are either weird names with no meaning, mythological names, descriptive names, or descriptive names in another language (can overlap with mythological names).
You're not helping, you're just being a jerk.
Yes, that
is the point. They aren't Dwarves or Elves, so if someone wants to make Dwarves or Elves they will have to change the base Dwarf/Elf up a bit. Maybe most names are unique, but the exception seems to be the Standard Fantasy Races. In every game so far, someone has made them with almost no changes from the completely overdone stereotype. I find that boring. If I can get the amount of uniquish names up to 100%, I'd be happy. I was never pretending to help, we all know I'm kinda a troll

Has it taken you this long to realize that about Stirk?
I think last game we had humans, elves and dwarves. There was not a great deal of invention in how they worked either (I think the dwarves took the Skyrim route of being underground Elves)
We have had Humans and Dwarves in literally every Ye Gods so far (including Litany). Some kind of Elf are in most of them, too. Some of them have some unique changes, the Night Elves in the original where much different from standard for example. The Dwarves are almost universally vanilla with almost no description, the last game naming them elves helped out a little bit. The Humans where universally as vanilla as possible and caused by Andres (The first game we had to make Humans to wake up his God in the first place, otherwise he was the one making them
).
...You don't know what a dwarf is do you,hell you don't even know what a elf is and honestly if you are going to make a damn dwarf or elf make a dwarf or elf not some.... abomination....also post to watch.
No I don't! Is the answer "Boring, uninspired, derivative, overdone, and unimaginative"? The whole point was I am not going to make a dwarf or elf. Is it really that big a deal that I took the name for something that isn't your ideal "Dwarf" or "Elf"?
Im actually tempted to join but....i don't really want to F up as they say so im a little nevious,which is ironic since i know how to play dwarf fortress and survive to year five with no issues,if i do join im probably going to be the same goddess i made for a different form game where you are a god...
You'll be fine, there is no reason to be nervous! What is the worse that can happen? Its just a game.
Friendly with mortals, huh? Might get along well with Eid, then.
Anyone want to place a bet about how long it will take Eid to get involved in a bloody war? Judging by past games, I would say two ticks.
