This list is to give some inspiration for characters. For more information use google. The idea is to allow you to create your own versions of all these creatures or find something new you didn't know existed.

(Fallout) Ghouls are the irradiated denizens of the pre-apocalypse world, living in an endless state of half-death and half-life. A little radiation zombie humor there.(D&D) Usually mindless carrion feeders.(Persona) Ugh, so annoying.
98. Vampire
(Everywhere) Vampires, occasionally Vampyr, are former humans that have been granted eternal life in exchange for a debilitating chemical dependency. Writing bad poetry seems like a prerequisite, but really isn't.
99. Lich
(D&D) Sentient undead, usually the result a mage's morally grey decision to indefinitely extend their own life. Or if they're desperate to lose weight.
100. Thri-Kreen
(D&D) An ant-like race of nomads from the Dark Sun campaign. Use psionics. Like picnics.
101. Newman
(Phantasy Star) Genetically-enhanced humans. Engineered to be magically superior.
102. Beast
(Phantasy Star) Genetically-enhanced humans. Engineered to be physically superior.
103. CAST
(Phantasy Star) Synthetic race of androids. Minimal magical ability, but very proficient with firearms.
104. Slime
(Dragon Quest) Thought to be mindless creatures, revealed to be quite intelligent and gregarious among monsters. Fond of tank battles.
105. Platypunk
(Dragon Quest) The eternal rivals of the Slime people. As fond of duck puns as the Slimes are of slime puns. Apparently led by mobsters.
106. Dragons
(Everywhere) Powerful monsters, usually with an intimidating degree of intelligence. Would get on better with humans if we didn't find them so scary and they didn't find us so delicious.
107. Demon
(Everywhere) Creatures that dwell in Hell that fell to their underworld cell after, they tell, a rebellious spell that didn't end well. They are less than swell. Especially that big one, Satan.
108. Angel
(Everywhere) Can't mention demons without bringing up their divine antithesis. Video game demons generally have a lot of well thought-out art design behind them, yet for angels the artists always just seem to wing it.
109. The Covenant
(Halo) Actually an alliance of alien races that have banded together to be ultra-annoying to humans. Each race is presented in-game as a certain "class", like Elite or Grunt.
110. The Flood
(Halo) A creepy parasitic race led by a being known as the Gravemind. So named, I guess, because graves are scary.
111. Locust Horde
(Gears of War) Antagonistic race that had all but conquered the world of Sera from its indigenous humans. Might be aliens, might not.
112. Chimera
(Resistance) Once-human genetic experiments gone awry. Have taken control of most of the planet. The footsoldiers are humanoid, but the rest have all sorts of forms.
113. Goblins
(D&D) Goblins (and Hobgoblins) are significantly less advanced than Orcs, but still have a civilization, of sorts.
114. Gnolls
(D&D) Gnolls aren't particularly bright, being hyena-men, but they are talented fighters and know enough words to tell you how they'll remove vital parts of your anatomy.
115. Nopon
(Xenoblade Chronicles) The Nopon are the rolypoly Ewok ersatz of Xenoblade Chronicles. Despite being insufferably cute, they make themselves handy by being travelling merchants that are conveniently everywhere. Darn their adorable hides.
116. High Entia
(Xenoblade Chronicles) The High Entia are a race of haughty bird people with advanced technology. So they're elves, basically. But with more wings.
117. Machina
(Xenoblade Chronicles) The Machina are sentient mechanical people from Mechonis. The Machina are not to be confused with the Mechon, which are mindless machines created by a Machiavellian Machina for his vengeful machinations. Oh God, mech it stop.
