Things like lzard-men are more practical and are territorial in their aggression as opposed to orcs who are just sort of nasty by nature. Lizard-men would be more mundane in their origin as opposed to orcs who were created by or descended from unseelie faeries.

Would your players want to player Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, etc like that? If they would then go for it!
