Gnomes.

Wait i view them that way, no-one else does ;)

UO - no
DAOC - no
VG - no
EQ - no
EQ2 - no
WoW - no
WAR - no
EVE - no (then again there are alien species, but drones and various others dont count really)
PS - no
CO/COH/DCUO - no
Darkfail - no
LOTRO - no

Cant think of any others.

The problem is, using non-humanoid runs the risk of the player (the "hero" usually) not feeling a proper connection with their avatar (hence ccp thinking spacedolls would get them subs - which it didnt when things panned out) and therefore not paying to play.  Not my argument at all, but thats pretty much it.

Closest would be Tyranids? Assuming 40k:DMO will feature them, but probably not playable...

It's fun to play a spider or whatever in LOTRO for a bit. But non humanoids can only level in skills and abilities.
They don't wear clothes. Don't use equipment. Etc. They'd make for very boring playable races.

That's why we need EWOKS!

DIE IN A FIRE. Or a flood since you live under sea level.  And then get resurrected and fed into a wood chipper feet first. Then have all the bits recombined and frozen with fruit juice and eaten by George Lucas.

EDIT: I may or may not have issues with ewoks...

Thing is, is there any none humanoid (ie 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head all attached to a torso) sentient races in Star Wars, other than the Hutts?

In the old Dark Horse comics, yes, but I don't think I've ever seen a non-humanoid anywhere else. I seem to recall at least one of Nomi Sunrider's masters was a quadruped (and used to let Nomi's daughter ride around on his back) and I think another was a kind of tree who eventually went sessile. My copies of those comics are back in Oz though.
