Well, the sheer number of intelligent races strikes me as odd. It seems like many of these should have been pushed to extinction, if only because other species crowded them out. That's how it normally works, anyway -- though where intelligence is concerned, we have to use cultures as an example from Real Life, not species.
There's probably some measure of truth to that, since, for as long as the setting has been in print, we haven't seen much in the way of the more "usual" races. For example, minotaurs and centaurs, while they have not been entirely forgotten, do not even come close to the same numbers in terms of population like most of the other humanoid races.
