Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Because I believe that if a race or species of any kind is remotely sentient or sapient, it should be on the scale of anthropomophism. ( especially If they are an intelligent statfish alien or a talking/civilized/Intellectual animal)

Writing an entirely different race is hard. There's a lot of detail to manage, and to communicate to the reader. Some writers go to extreme lengths in inventive originality -- this tends to become the focus of the work, whether intentionally or otherwise. Strategies adopted by writers for dealing with these difficulties include drawing the race more or less directly from some stock template with which the audience will be familiar, going to the PlanetOfHats, or, at the furthest extreme, just giving up on the "fantastic" part of this trope altogether. Original ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series}}'' Klingons, supposedly an "alien race", famously look and act almost perfectly human.

If there's a race of non-human, non-monster sapient beings in your fiction, you're most likely looking at either SciFi or {{Fantasy}}. Further, the race probably has characteristics drawn from a common set of tropes. These are some of those tropes.
