there are the salamander Race. which essentially are smaller, wingless dragons that don't breathe fire, walk on two legs. they have a scaly hide, big pointy teeth, and a tail.
as for how dragons would work, they wouldn't just be painted as "hurr durr bad guys", it'd be a bit more like how fire emblem did it maybe. though also a little more peaceful as well.
essentially, Dragons where there in the world slightly before humans and all the other races, and when they saw all the other races become more and more advanced, they created and moved to a sort of pocket-dimension where all the dragons now live. maybe a few dragons left from that place due to one reason or another. maybe some were dangerous murderers and were exiled to the human realm as a form of punishment, maybe some just didn't like the peaceful life, and hunted gold and glory in the human realms instead.
this would mean that a lot of the people living on the world the players are in would be thinking "hurr durr dragons and bad guys", and most if not all the dragons you meet in the world would be a bit of a greedy/murderous asshole.

Avali that crash landed on a primitive planet before they were given implants when they were younger only knowing basic knowledge of how to keep their body temperature low enough. or they happen to be part of an alien experiment to see if a colony of avali secretly injected with temperature regulating implants or nanites from said alien race that replicates itself and looks like bloodcells. This avali colony of course transplanted without knowledge of the main avali cultures in space which winds up having to live in this world without knowledge of their cultures technology... no implants, no knowledge of aerogel, no knowledge of anything beyond this planet and its strange (thinking strange hehehe) life and religions. basically an experiment on how the avali would react if they were able to live in a completely difference curcumstance. Because of the alien nanites in their blood that self replicate. children naturally would have them as they are caried between bloodcells to the infant. i know that Ryuu most likely is gonna kill me for this idea but something just tells me we can't have this kinda thing brought up on the avali nexus forums without somehow including the avali in some form. just throwing things into the wind... and again... ryuu is most likely gonna hate me for it but i am trying to come up with ways of including our favorite fluffies.
in terms of the Avali... where practically shit out of luck unless we make a race that is ascetically 100% like the avali, but work in vastly different ways. while i do find it quite commendable that you came up with a way to put them in, you're still missing what they would eat/drink and how they would breathe. not to mention that this place has magic and gods, which would break the laws of science in a instant.
anyway, we could, in theory, make a separate race, that are visually 100% similar to the Avali, only a bit bigger, built slightly less like a raptor (only slightly), and then have their own lore and such here. though doing this might defeat the purpose of roleplaying as an avali.
