We know the layout of the world, even if we haven\\\\'t been able to see it all yet, and we know where everyone comes from. Mithra are from the southern island continent. Orcs and some viking-type culture (probably Elvaan) are from the Northern continent. West and East are now mapped out, though far East is not accessible. There\\\\'s no room in the lore for a new race, and no room in the design.
Monstrosity is going to be the closest we get, as monster appearance doesn\\\\'t change with equipment/instincts.
