Here's five other races that I originally wanted to put into my little fantasy universe, but I wanted more time to think about their sizes and purposes and I also needed one more article of clothing before I could complete one of them.

I threw in a human and obsidian giant for comparison's sake.

Fairy:
Size: Around 8-10 inches tall. 10 times the size of floral fairies. Same size as garden nagas.
Habitat: Civilized settlements
Info: The common fairy. Unlike floral and gnat fairies, they don't live in the wilderness and instead live with humans, nagas, and giants in civilized areas.
Features/Powers: Just like all the other fairies they can fly using the wings on their backs. These common fairies have basic magic capabilities and an expansive intellect. Due to their high intelligence, they're basically the mechanics of society, the inventors and whatnot and the only ones with a grasp on technology. Don't be surprised if these little guys pull out a weirdo gadget when threatened by a larger adversary!

Sky Fairy:
Size: Average around 60 feet. About 10 times the height of humans. Same size as Sea giants.
Habitat: Various, Clouds
Info: Sky Fairies are large winged humanoids and are distant relatives of the smaller fairies. As you can tell, they are by far the largest species of fairies. Similar to their floral fairy counterparts, most of them are very maternal and caring and have a knack for helping smaller races out even if they're not really interested. Sky fairies are born with a natural talent for healing magic and serve as the "nurses" for the larger less civilized races. Since they don't have hospitals or doctors, they simply seek out the nearest sky fairy for assistance if they're feeling ill or received an injury. Generally no race wishes to harm them since they sky fairies make very useful allies. They can live in a variety of places, but most are found up in the clouds in small isolated floating civilizations. Since very few races can fly, very few have gotten the privileged to see these towns built on the clouds.
Features/Powers: They look very much like humans with feathered wings. The angels of this world. They all have an innate ability to preform simple healing spells to help the injured and sick. Their wings enable them to fly through the skies and even carry small passengers.

Gorgon:
Size: Around 300 feet tall on average. About 50 times the size of humans
Habitat: Mountains, Caves
Info: Large monstrous giantesses found in isolated mountain or cave areas. They're highly dangerous and show no friendliness towards anything that's small enough to serve as a meal. They wont hesitate to step on someone injure them. They live peacefully with similarly sized races though, like obsidian giants who live in the same areas as them.
Features/Powers: Like a classic gorgon they have a head full of snakes. They can turn things to stone by using their petrifying gaze. Their gaze doesn't always petrify though. Only when they choose to use it. You'll know when they're using it when their eyes glow, but by then it's too late to do anything about it! They have sharp teeth but aren't strictly carnivores. Most have knowledge of alchemy and brewing, and concoct potions in cauldrons in their caves, dens or where ever they live. The potions range from harmful poisons to medicines. They have fairly close ties with obsidian giants since they can turn things (living or non-living) to stone, which is what obsidian giants chow down on. They have a small rivalry with sky fairies since gorgons concoct medicines, while sky fairies can effortlessly use their innate healing abilities to do what their medicines can do. Not to mention they may be a bit jealous of sky fairy's angelic appearances compared to their monster-like appearance.

Desert Naga:
Size: About 500 feet while standing up (if they had legs instead of a tail). 1/3rd of the size of an obsidian giant.
Habitat: Desert Civilizations
Info: The largest and most imposing species of nagas. They're strictly found in the desert in their desert civilizations. Their architecture is much like Egyptian ruins or something similar. They have six limbs and use their multiple limbs to wield many weapons at once to fight off danger. The desert is home to many dangerous creatures like titanic "sand worms" and the occasional trespasser. Their towns always have an oasis or some sort of water, so people trekking through the desert often try to sneak into their settlements for a drink. Like all nagas they are carnivores. Desert nagas will typically raid camps and settlements belonging to desert travelers (specifically picking out giants to gobble down) in the desert, or they'll just hunt desert wildlife. Races that are smaller than giants can usually get away with walking up to them without getting injured, since they're too small to make a good meal or be a threat but giants specifically have to be very careful. And if you manage to impress one or give it some sort of offering, they may escort you into their towns or home for the drink that you're looking for. You could pretty much say they're neutral-ish since they're willing to be nice if you prove your worth, but if they need a snack, they'll jump at the chance.
Features/Powers: Unlike typical nagas they lack toxic saliva that puts their victims to sleep. You could say their less snake and more human than normal nagas. In turn they have six arms instead of the usual two and superior strength.

Leviathan:
Size:About 1000+ feet. 10 times the size of forest nagas. 2/3rds the size of an obsidian giant.
Habitat: Oceans, Seas
Info: A rare but dangerous creature... the leviathan. They're the largest hostile race in this world but since they're confined to the seas, you can elude their wrath quite easily. Leviathans choose their territory and then stick with it as long as sailors come along, and when sailors come along...well... then they're pretty much screwed. When a boat enters a leviathan's territory it's only a matter of time before the leviathan pops up and grabs the ship or even sucks the ship down using her mouth (provided the ship is small enough). People usually figure out where their territory is, but if no one comes by for a while, they simply choose another place to call their territory. Some of the smarter ones set their territory right in front of ports so incoming ships and boats who aren't familiar with the area have to cross through their territory. They're not picky eaters and will eat just about anything, living or inanimate. If it enters their territory then its theirs for the taking. They think with their stomachs so you can't really call them clever. They're not too hard to outsmart though because of this.
Features/Powers: Immense size that almost rivals obsidian giants, the ability to breathe underwater, adept swimming. Inhaling water to create a drain-like whirlpool beneath vessels. That's about the extent of their powers. They're stuck in the seas so they're relatively easy to avoid. But they can always try and reach onto land with their long reach and grab people. They're big trouble makers in general.
